THE Armed Forces of the Philippines in Southern Luzon Command (AFP-SOLCOM) expanded its operations in Southern Luzon after a 100-hectare land grant in San Narciso, Quezon, which the Army sees as a “major boost” to its regional operations.

The property was donated by the province’s Reyes clan, led by Starhorse Shipping Lines Inc. General Manager Merian H. Reyes, the AFP-SOLCOM said in a statement on Wednesday.

“The donated property is expected to significantly enhance the AFP’s regional capacity for operational readiness, territorial defense and humanitarian response,” the AFP-SOLCOM said.

The land asset was officially handed over in a Deed of Transfer ceremony between AFP-SOLCOM, led by Commander Facundo O. Palafox IV, and Ms. Reyes. — CAT
