MANILA, Philippines - Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr. wants the Philippine naval bases stationed in Sangley Point in Cavite City to be transferred and consolidated to the other Philippine Navy camp in the coastal town of Ternate to pave way for the development of an international airport and seaport at the former United States Naval Station.
Revilla, chairman of the Senate committee on public works, said the redevelopment plan of Sangley Point will also help decongest the main airports in Pasay City.
“[The Naval] base can be transferred to Ternate,” Revilla said in an interview.
