TINIYAK ng Department of Budget and Management (DBM) na may nakalaang budget para sa improvement ng walong airports sa bansa na nakapaloob sa 2023 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
Kabilang sa napondohan para sa pagkukumpuni ay ang Laoag International Airport (P785 million), Tacloban Airport (P1.420 billion), Antique Airport (P500 million), Bukidnon Airport (P80 million), Ninoy Aquino International Airport (P43 million), New Zamboanga International Airport (P200 million), Vigan Airport (P50 million), at M’lang Airport (P15 million).
Sinabi ni DBM Secretary Amenah Pangandaman na ang paglalaan ng pondo para sa pagkukumpuni ay alinsunod sa direktiba ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. na maisaayos ang mobility and connectivity.
“This budgetary allocation seeks to support the construction, rehabilitation, and improvement of the country’s transportation infrastructure, particularly in the aviation sector. This is in line with the mandate of President Bongbong Marcos to put prime importance in enhancing our country’s transportation system,” wika ni Pangandaman.
Tiniyak din ni Pangandaman ang pagiging masigasig ng administrasyong Marcos sa mga infrastructure development sa bansa tungo sa mas produktibong economic transformation.
“When we say transport infrastructure development, this does not only mean building or improving railways or road transport. It also means the improvement and rehabilitation of airports. That is why, for 2023, we made sure that various airports in different regions across the country would be getting their needed funds, as their development will propel growth in different sectors, such as trade, employment, and tourism,” sabi pa ni Pangandaman.
Sa mga nagdaang talumpati ng Pangulo ay sinabi niya na kanyang nakikita ang aniya’y “better days ahead” sa public transportation system sa bansa kasabay ng pagtiyak ng pagpapatupad ng big-ticket infrastructure projects.
“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,” sabi pa ng Pangulo.
