The National Economic and Development Authority Board has approved a P4.17-billion project to build an airport in Panglao, Bohol.
In a statement released Thursday, NEDA said the airport supports the government's thrust to make Central Philippines a major tourist destination.
"The Panglao Airport Development Project... envisions opening up Central Visayas to more economic activities as well as enhancing the tourism potential of Bohol," NEDA said.
"This is expected to reduce travel time and cost of transporting goods and people. The project will also serve as a gateway for major tourist destinations in Bohol from other parts of the country and abroad," it added.
The proposed airport will be built on 216 hectares of land approximately 15 kilometers from Tagbilaran City, and will have a runway of 2,500 meters by 45 meters and passenger and cargo terminal buildings.
The project will be funded wholly by government funds from the Manila International Airport Authority, the Department of Transportation and Communication and some of its attached agencies, and the Department of Tourism. It will be jointly implemented by the DOTC and the MIAA.
The project is expected to start July this year and finish by April 2010

If I lived on an island, a new airport would be the most wonderful addition to my world, unless I had time to take a ship wherever I wanted to go, of course.
Amazing that you're talking airports; the most incredible discussion that was going on last six months in Portugal was about the location of the new Lisbon international airport; to be ready by 2017... ;))
Have a great day!
Just got back from Panglao a week ago. I hope they just develop the Tagbilaran City Airport and leave Panglao alone... I don't want what happened to Boracay's commercialization after the opening of the Caticlan Airport to happen to Panglao. I love the Bora 10 years ago more than the present Bora.
These pictures are totally awesome. I took a trip here not too long ago and this brought back some really awesome memories. Wonderful water. Wonderful people.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real income.
It's all about how to select a correct partner who uses your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.
You may ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
