“In his speech during the 113th anniversary of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG), President Benigno Aquino III said the government is prioritizing the tasks of securing the country’s vast coastline and ensuring that no incidents occur in the Philippines’ maritime jurisdiction,” reports Dharel Placido on ABS-CBNnews.com.
Aquino revealed that “part of the efforts to improve the PCG’s capabilities is the construction of 113 lighthouses.”
He added that 109 more may be constructed if the government manages to acquire properties.
The report didn’t reveal how much is being spend for all these lighthouses, though.
