📋 Tender Overview
The proposed PHP2.3 billion satellite radar station of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) in the Municipality of Anini-y will help ensure security and assist the province in times of calamity through its air assets.
Board Member Pio Jessielito Sumande, Sr., chairperson of the Peace and Order and Public Security (POPS) Committee at the provincial board, said the ocular inspection on the proposed site in Mt. Liwliw, Anini-y, is expected this month. “The radar station will ensure the security and assist the province as well as the other areas in the country in times of calamity because of its available assets,” he said in an interview.
He said the station would be in the area where the same American facility was located as part of the Republic of the Philippines-United States of American Military Bases Treaty in the 1980s.
He said that a Japanese construction firm would undertake the establishment of the radar station. “The presence of the radar station will also open tourism opportunities to the local people because the radar will become a tourist attraction because of the panoramic view in going up to Mt. Liwliw,” Sumande said.
Early next year, the concreting of the access road from Barangay Diclum, Anini-y, to Mt. Liwliw will start upon the request of the provincial government to be funded by the Cooperative-National Confederation of Cooperatives (Coop-NATCCO) party list.
