Pag-asa, internationally known as Thitu, is the second largest island in the Spratlys Group, and the largest in the Philippine-held Kalayaan Island Group . It is the only one of the Philippines' 9 islets in the KIG inhabited by a civilian community. The rest are small military outposts.COMPLETED. The sheltered port on Pag-asa Island wil be ready for use by June 12, 2020.

The unpaved airstrip gets soft when it rains, making it difficult to schedule flights to the island. It takes 5 days of zero rainfall for the ground on the airstrip to harden enough for a military C-130 plane to land. Asia maritime analyst Gregory Poling said the Chinese militia swarm must have hampered Philippine resupply missions to Pag-asa and prolonged the construction projects on it, butSLOW CONSTRUCTION. It took years for these planned structures to finally materialize on Pag-asa Island. Photo courtesy of the Municipal Engineering Office of the Kalayaan Island Group
