Plans for new Tubbataha ranger station unveiled
Excerpt
Legendary hereos need great hideouts- Batman had his Batcave, Darth Vader had two Death Stars and Voltes V had Camp Big Falcon. For the dedicated rangers standing vigil over the Philippines' top coral reef, home sweet home is the Tubbataha Ranger Station. But After a decade of serious weathering, can the aging offshore complex still function as a research hub and springboard for enforcement operations? Situated 160 kilometers southeast of Puerto Princesa City in Palawan, the squat white barracks, which started as a makeshift base station built by Philippine Navy Seabees to shelter law enforcers in 1995, has since taken many forms.
