-#01 to #06 images show the highway side of this new business, which seems to be called “Inflatable Island” for right now. It is on a large lot at the west side of the mouth of the Maquinaya River which never was commercial utilized except as truck storage site, just for 2 or 3 years or so and only in recent times. The Maquinaya River gave its name of the present Barrio Barretto area. This Maquinaya Area or now called Barretto used to be the Naval Rifle Range and was also used for field training by the US Marines and US Army (Fort Wint-Grande Island) until Christmas 1941 when the Philippine and US Forces retreated to Bataan in WWII. In 1945, after liberation the area became the US Naval Supply Depot, perhaps until 1959 when it was returned to the Philippine authority. Two pictures show that the facilities, inside, are being built with native material. If you are interested I collected some historical Images of this area and posted them into this URL: https://philippine-sailor.net/barretto-maquinaya-wwii/
