CEBU CITY, Philippines — Bohol Governor Erico Aris Aumentado welcomed the plans of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Visayas Command (AFP VISCOM) to transfer their camp to his province.
In his social media post, Aumentado shared photos of the meeting he had earlier today, September 10, with some representatives of the AFP VISCOM.
The Governor disclosed that AFP VISCOM chose Bohol as the area where they plan to transfer their camp.
AFP VISCOM is yet to issue a statement on this matter. Its camp is currently located in Barangay Apas, Cebu City.
In a separate social media post, Ramil Ayuman, former Apas barangay captain, said that their barangay got its name from the soldiers’ wives who would “apas” their husbands.
“Apan ang dakong pangutana unsay mahitabo sa 18 lots nga iya sa Nasudnong Kagamhanan ug kasamtangan naa mahimutang ang Centcom. Ibaligya na lang kini sa mga dagkong negosyante?” Ayuman stated in his social media post.
Cebu Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, commented on Ayuman’s post stating that Cebu province owned the land where VISCOM’s camp is located.
