From the Sun Star-Zamboanga (Jul 22): Salazar: Zamboanga needs military outpost
“A PERMANENT military outpost in the village of Rio Hondo, Zamboanga City.”
This was the request of Mayor Ma. Isabelle Climaco-Salazar during her meeting on Wednesday, July 20, with Defense Secretary Miguel Delfin Lorenzana.
The proposed military outpost is to be established at the Mindeva property in the village of Rio Hondo, which the National Government had bought for P50 million during the Aquino Administration.
It broke ground last January but actual construction has yet to begin, thus Salazar reiterated the matter under the administration of President Duterte to facilitate and expedite the construction of the facility.
The military outpost will soon take charge of the security measures in the village and the neighboring areas.
This is to ensure a stationary deployment of troops that maintain law and order in the village of Rio Hondo and nearby areas.
It will be recalled that the village of Rio Hondo and nearby areas were the most affected villages during the 21-day September 2013 siege.
The siege broke out on September 9, 2013 after hundreds of Moro National Liberation Front members infiltrated and laid siege in at least five coastal villages in the city.
