By MARK FRANCISCO, Correspondent

AGAYAN de Oro City--The board of Oro Chamber, the city’s biggest group of MSMEs, has passed a resolution asking the Philippine Air Force (PAF) to relocate its 5th Fighter Wing and Tactical Operations Group (TOG) 10 currently stationed at the old Lumbia airport to the newer Laguindingan airport in Misamis Oriental.

In an interview over the weekend, Oro Chamber president Robertino Pizarro said that the resolution was passed during one of their board meetings earlier this month. Pizarro said that members of the Oro Chamber board unanimously agreed that Laguindingan airport still has plenty of hectarage to accommodate the 5th Fighter Wing. With two squadrons under its fold flying 12 FA50 and five AS-211 aircraft, the 5th Fighter Wing was

revived just last July and is considered the primary fighting unit of PAF, providing active air defense and tactical air support to the country. It shares space with TOG 10 which is responsible in providing air power locally. The 5th Fighter Wing was previously based in Basa Air Base in Pampanga as a tactical fighter group before being elevated to a fighter wing following acquisition of the new aircraft.

MARAWI City--Teacher Baicona Hassan, 41, was anxious as she walked the final steps to her house that she had not seen since the ISIS-inspired Maute terrorists seized Marawi City on May 23. She and other residents of Barangay East Basak adjacent to Barangay Basak Malutlut where the first shots were fired that Tuesday afternoon five months ago, joined a Peace Caravan

Thursday that would prepare for their return next week. Entering the orange gate, Hassan broke into tears when she saw what used to be home for her husband and three children, in shambles. “I think I lost all my appliances that I bought through hard work. They looted my home,” Hassan said, after carefully inspectSee memories, page 11
