One of our most popular stories over the years was the short story we posted on the Old Iloilo Aiport at Manduriao in Iloilo City. The one thing that we hadn’t done until recently was to do a story on the New Iloilo International Airport.
Well, here they are together at last… As many of you already know the site of the Old Airport site was purchased by Megaworld and they are currently developing what has been termed by many as: ‘the new downtown Iloilo’.
Some very interesting things are happening down there including the building of the Iloilo Convention Centre, which is planned to be the site of the APEC Ministerial Meetings to be hosted by the Philippines in 2015. In addition to that, there are three or four major 4 and 5 star hotels as well as several ‘skyscrapers’ to house Condominiums and business centres.
In addition to those developments at the Old Airport, we read this week that the National Government is set to spend 10 billion Pesos on further developments at the New Airport.
We are currently working to make arrangements with both sites to visit and be able to bring you all upto date on what is happening at both the Old and the New.
