He said the P2.4 million facility will be composed of an administrative building, company barracks and supply room.
Esperon said once finished, their forward base facility located inside the Naval Base camp in Panacan, Davao City could house around 110 soldiers at a time.
The general said this is part of their modernization program in line with their effort to provide their soldiers with a comfortable accommodation whenever they are assigned in the area.
