Bacolod Rep. Alfredo Abelardo Benitez has formally requested clarification from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) regarding the huge increase in the overnight parking fee at the Bacolod-Silay Airport that has drawn numerous complaints.
The overnight parking fee at the Bacolod-Silay Airport increased from P200 to P600.
The Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) earlier unanimously passed a resolution authored by Councilor Homer Bais requesting Benitez to intercede and look into the complaints regarding the “exorbitant increase”.
Benitez, in a letter to CAAP Director General Lt. Gen. Raul L. Del Rosario, said in view of the SP resolution, he was writing to inquire about the steep increase in the overnight parking fee.
“The said fee has been noted to gather multiple complaints from both local residents, travelers, and tourism stakeholders, particularly on the exorbitant cost and impact on airport accessibility and convenience,” he said.
He asked Del Rosario for clarification and for measures being considered to address the concerns raised by both the local government and the public.*
