From the Philippine Star (Sep 28): Brigade of Marines deployed back to Palawan

Key officials of the Armed Forces of the Philippines' Western Command (Wescom) welcomed a brigade of Marines back to Palawan on Friday as the military is gradually shifting from internal to territorial defense.... Fresh from their anti-terror duties in Sulu, the returning Marines are facing a new round of challenges in Palawan. This after they found out that their eight-hectare camp in Barangay Tiniguiban in Puerto Princesa City, where they were formerly based, is now being owned by a private individual. Sabban himself was surprised that the Marine camp established inside a military reservation has been titled and privatized. With this development, Sabban is calling for a thorough investigation into what he called systematic land-grabbing activities of government lands by dubious individuals in the province.
