I am thrilled to hear that the new Iloilo airport is near completion. This will make such a major difference to the economy there and will certainly encourage more tourists to visit Panay. Also, many local people will hopefully have opportunities for employment both at the new airport and expanding tourist facilities which in all probability will occur due to a rise in international visitors. Congratulations!

I look forward in the near future to fly directly into Iloilo and avoid the delays in Manila.
