CEBU CITY, Philippines — A new fuel depot, funded by the United States (U.S.) government, will soon be operational at the Mactan-Benito Ebuen Air Base as part of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (Edca). Construction is now ongoing for a fuel depot at the Mactan airbase which has the capacity to store up to 40,000 liters of fuel, said US Ambassador to the Philippines, MaryKay Carlson. 'We're investing money to build a fuel depot. Two large tanks… will be positioned there so they can enhance the ability of Philippine aircraft to come in and refuel,' Carlson said during a media roundtable on Friday, May 19 at a hotel in North Reclamation Area, Cebu City.
