New Bohol Airport to be completed in 2018

[Harry T]

Whilst Im sure this Airport will be beneficial to the inhabitants, and businesses on Panglao, and i congratulate them on achieving there own Airport, i really cant see how the cost could have been justified when the cost of it will bring Benefits to so few, I mean its about half an hour from Tagbilaran airport to Panglao Island, whereas the proposed Bukidnon Airport which would bring benefits to many more, and considerably ease the Traffic between Davao and Cagayan De Oro, this project seems to have been put on the back burner indefinately. I would have thought now that DU30 is President he would have brought this project forward, or is it that DU30 prefers to see passengers/travellers pass through Davao City, its my Opinion that if this is indeed the case then it is short sighted, because from everyone i speak to the congestion in Davao is getting worse day by day, and will indeed continue to do so, and the Congestion in CDO is also pretty horrendous in the rush hour..

Good points Harry, having only been on holiday to Panglao and knowing it to be a small island i just thought it may spoil it over the years , but i am only speaking for myself.
Maybe people who live there and have to make there living there too may see it different to us.
