The engineering project, which also included repairs on old school buildings, was part of the 24th annual Balikatan humanitarian assistance program conducted in various locations in Mindanao and Palawan and elsewhere in the Philippines. The Balikatan team also provided free medical and dental care to approximately 2,500 island residents. (U.S. Navy Photo by Mass Communications Specialist Second Class Joshua J.
