Hope there will be a direct flight Iloilo-Singapore-Iloilo soon. Maybe just even a once-a-week flight. Probably Cebu Pacific could study the market potential of such flight.
It would be great if all the ilonggos will unite to make our city progressive.Now,we had an internatioanl airport, i hope to hear from our native kababayan’s in Iloilo that our city is more prosperous in other cities in Philippines..wheeeeeeee…i can’t wait to go back and take a 4 hrs.direct flight from Singapore to Iloilo :)..See you next year my fellow ilonggos!..
napardon nanaman ang mama!!!
to remind us of our economist president.
its official… its now called GMA international airport
AYOS!!!
see somebody want to have its name as GMA intenational airport. mabuhay c GMA!!!!!
i think its name now is GMA international airport
its a shame really. just realize that it cannot cater for international flights. i learned that bacolod have an international airport as well and not to mention cebu. if you think of it , theres too many in visayas region already. anyway, its still nicethat iloilo is blooming once again
