The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines proposed budget for the completion of the Kabankalan City airport is P600 million, Rep.-elect Mercedes Alvarez (Neg. Occ., 6th District) said Saturday, June 25.
The CAAP will present the proposal to the new Department of Transportation secretary, she said.
Alvarez said she is hoping even just part of the P600 million can be allocated for the Kabankalan airport in the 2023 national budget.
She will push for the allocation of the amount even in phases, Alvarez said.
The proposed budget is for the completion of the airport apron, and terminal and emergency buildings, she said.*
