Philippines repairs Spratlys runway,
MANILA, Philippines — The long-delayed repairs of Rancudo Airfield in Pag-asa (Thitu) Island as well as other limited development projects on several smaller military outposts within the Philippine-claimed Kalayaan Group of Islands, are now underway, a senior security official said yesterday.
He issued this statement to confirm satellite imagery released by Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies-Asian Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI) showing repairs have begun at the crumbling airfield in Pag-asa.
Meanwhile, Malacañang defended yesterday the repairs, saying these are tantamount to the Philippines’ assertion of sovereignty in the contested group of islands.
“(The) repair of port facilities in Pag-asa is consistent with our national sovereignty and jurisdiction,” presidential spokesman Harry Roque Jr. said.
