LAMITAN, Basilan — Senior US government officials visited Basilan yesterday to turn over to local organizations the latest in their targeted investments to support peace and economic development in Central and Western Mindanao. 


In Lamitan, the location of intense fighting between the military and the Abu Sayyaf in 2001, an expanded berthing facility and a new ro-ro (roll-on, roll-off) ramp will provide a gateway for local producers to ship their goods to the Mindanao mainland and also offer improved passenger services to locals and residents of neighboring towns.
