Davao native makes her mark in US Navy

A proud native of Davao City is one of the members of the US Navy’s storied Construction Battalions, or “Seabees,” building and fighting around the world from her base in Port Hueneme, California.

Petty Officer 3rd Class Jannah Mae Bustamante was born and raised in Davao and is a graduate of Davao’s Brokenshire College. She traveled to the US following her sister Mariel Jimenez, who lives in Pensacola, Florida, and found that the Navy was a worthwhile place to apply her construction skills.
