The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) has started construction of a Desalination Plant in Mavulis Island in Batanes capable of desalinating and storing 3,000 Liters of Fresh Water.
Currently the only source of Fresh Water for Mavulis Island is Itbayat Island which requires an 8 hour travel to obtain.
Mavulis Island is the Philippines’ most Northernmost Island and is only 80 km from Taiwan. More than two decades ago, Taiwan reportedly wanted to lease the Island and use it as a Gunnery range for its Military.
Part of the lease proposal was to donate to the Philippines some secondhand Fighter Aircraft, but the lease did not push thru.
