Mindanao Airports rehabilitation essential towards its development
Presidential Adviser on Peace Process Secretary Jesus Dureza promised big housing developers in the Philippines that it will be business as usual even if there is a suspension of the peace talks with Muslim separatists. This is what he said during their National Convention in the City of Davao, one of Southern Philippines’ progressive cities. He further added that Mindanao is not going back to war and the the GRP Panel are continuously searching for an amenable agreement for both sides.
Mindanao, being packaged by the Department of Tourism as an agri-industry hub is moving towards a more sustainable development in the island with various choices of upcoming residential areas, not to mention that it is being groomed to become the retirement haven returning Filipinos and retiring foreigners.
Now, because of that, the government is expediting infrastructure projects to further boost Mindanao’s accessibility. The repairs and modernization of airports and other ports of entry in Mindanao took off late 2006 with funding cost of P5.654 billion.
Aside from the considerable marketing and promotions of Mindanao, various projects are currently under way like the Seaweed Industry Project, Energy Programs and the Prioritization of Air Routes.
