PRESIDENT Ferdinand R. Marcos on Thursday said opening the Ormoc Airport to commercial flights will usher in more development in the city and the Eastern Visayas region.
Marcos made the remark during his inspection of the Ormoc Airport during his visit to the city on Tuesday to celebrate its 75th Charter Day anniversary.
The Ormoc Airport is currently being upgraded with the construction of the landing area and taxiway, and the expansion of its Apron.
The P329M project, which is expected to be completed in March 2023, would enable the airport to accept bigger commercial aircraft.
In his visit, Marcos lauded the city government for its accomplishments in attaining food security and combatting climate change, which are in line with his national development agenda.
