Working with governmentSomething to look forward to is how the Clark International Airport will respond to the fact that going abroad is a family and barangay affair for Filipinos. He revealed that a village of wishers and greeters area would be built in the next phase: 'It pains me to see the people behind the grills in NAIA 1. That shed is not a decent venue to wait for a balikbayan.'Instead, he envisions a park with appropriate dining spaces catering to a diverse clientele.
