Construction of an expanded passenger terminal building at Siargao Airport is set to begin Friday, following an order from President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. to improve travel and ensure comfort and safety for tourists, according to the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon said the project would ease congestion and provide a more comfortable experience for visitors to the popular tourist destination.
The current terminal can accommodate 200 passengers, and the new building will triple its capacity to 750 passengers daily.
The Siargao Airport project is part of a bundled unsolicited proposal for the modernization and expansion of Davao and Bicol Airports, submitted by the JG Summit and Filinvest Groups under a public-private partnership (PPP) deal.
