One of the critical challenges facing the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. is the problem of transportation. And one particular problem revolves around our airports. This was in full public and global view on New Year’s Day when a severe power outage at the nation’s air traffic control system led to the disruption of hundreds of flights during the start of the new year. Just last week, another snafu affected several flights in NAIA.
I am sure that many of our kababayan travelers have the same sentiment when they start comparing their airport experiences in these countries with our own airports. The administration of President Rodrigo Duterte and its flagship project, “Build, Build, Build” made significant improvements but the Marcos regime needs to sustain these gains.
Based on the data reported by the Philippine Information Agency these allocations include ₱785 million for Laoag International Airport, ₱1.4 billion for Tacloban Airport, ₱500 million for Antique Airport, ₱80 million for Bukidnon Airport, ₱43 million for Ninoy Aquino International Airport, ₱200 million for New Zamboanga International Airport, ₱50 million for Vigan Airport, and ₱15 million for M’lang Airport.
The President was on point when he said that “having an effective and efficient transportation system will have multiplier effects on employment, the economy, and our society; it will also bring comfort, convenience, and an easier life for all.”
