MANILA, Philippines—The construction of a new international airport in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, will start by late 2012, boosting the province’s aim to become one of the country’s most visited tourist destinations.
Transportation and Communications Secretary Manuel “Mar” Roxas II on Monday announced Malacañang’s approval of the project, so far the biggest project being handled by President Aquino’s former running mate.
The construction of a new airport will be funded using overseas development assistance (ODA) or aid financing from foreign government lenders.
Roxas said the Department of Transportations and Communications would bid out the contract to come up with an engineering design in January and finalize details about the project’s financing with the Korean government by the middle of 2012.
He said his target for the start of construction of the project is late 2012.
Under the government’s PPP website, the project aims to develop the Puerto Princesa International Airport into a facility that conforms to safety standards set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
