Update: Bicol International Airport as of June 2010

The Bicol International Airport project in Barangay Alobo in Daraga received an additional P23 million to complete its right-of-way acquisition which has so far attained close to a 75 percent mark of accomplishment. The amount is on top of the P82 million earlier released by Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) to compensate the land owners whose property the new airport will occupy.
Albay Gov. Joey S. Salceda said 72 percent of the land acquisition has already been completed. The main constraints in the acquisitions of lands the airport will cover are posed by lots mortgaged to rural banks which have been foreclosed by the Philippine Development Insurance Corp., and some lot owners who now live abroad.

In physical terms, Salceda reported, the P100-million access road to the airport site has already been completed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The initial P600 million for the construction of the airport itself, the governor explained, has been approved by the DOTC, and contractor Sunwest was already given permit to enter and start clearing operations.

Salceda said an additional P900 million is earmarked in the DOTC 2010 budget for the second tranche of the project but this would have to wait for the significant progress in the utilization of first tranche of P300 million. “We estimate the delay at about six months since the provincial government received the P82 million only last August 2009 but this status is still a lot better than Panglao International Airport,” he said.

The delay, Salceda said, sets back the airport’s completion from 2012 to 2013. On the other hand, engineer Macario Pavia Albay provincial planning officer and international airport project coordinator said acquisition of lots in barangay Bascaran, intended for the access road are almost 100 percent complete.

  15. nice to read all the incoming infrastructure program of Legaspi but must be hand in hand to have more industrial works like factories, ship building and repair using wind mills or hydro power to curve our exorbitant electric overheads.

    Goethermal, seems an expensive source of energy what happened to Tiwi and Manito until this time we are suffering from high electricity bills. Industries will always look into power expenditures.

    people can not afford to have this luxurious way life without good income.
    but atleast Albay is getting better compared from the previous administration

    thank you po.

Climbing Up to Mayon’s Base Camp

Climbing up to the summit of the Philippines’s most active volcano is truly an experience of a lifetime. Climbing up to the level close to the summit or an area commonly referred to as the knife’s edge is for the intermediate-expert climber or for one who is very fit. It normally takes two days and one night to reach the summit and it is essential that one have a competent and knowledgeable local guide.
