Meanwhile, Ang assured the public that despite delays, the New Manila Airport in Bulakan, Bulacan is pushing through as he highlighted the significance of the said project to the economy of the provinces in the North.

"Yung Bulacan airport, hindi pwedeng hindi gawin yun kasi yun ang pag-asa ng Pilipinas para umunlad ang bayan. Pag tumakbo ang Bulacan airport, you will open up Central Luzon," he said.

(We cannot 'not' open up Bulacan airport because that is the Philippines' hope for national progress. Once Bulacan airport is up and running, you will open up Central Luzon.)

SMC earlier disclosed that the airport project is facing delays due to the lack of sand being used as a backfill. Ang said the government is helping them address the issue.

Once opened, the Bulacan airport is seen to boost economic growth in nearby provinces such as Bulacan, Pampanga, Tarlac and Nueva Ecija, Ang said.

Of course not. Whether they like it or not, they are bound by contract with the National Government.

There is something wrong with this statement.

The NAIA rehabilitation project, finalized in a record eight months, is expected to double the airport’s capacity from 35 million to 62 million passengers annually while increasing air traffic movements from 40 to 48.

That is a problem when you post press releases.

“For our NMIA project, land development has resumed after resolving sand sourcing challenges. NMIA is set to become the country’s largest international gateway, and work is progressing across multiple fronts, including site preparation, road network development, and biodiversity initiatives for migratory birds,” Ang says.
