[edit] Future expansion

On March 31, 2008, construction of the airport much-awaited new terminal building has already commenced. The said construction is part of the 130-million peso fund promised by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in 2007 for the upgrading of the airport which is being geared to become an international landmark for tourism. The package includes 80 million pesos for the new terminal, while 50 million was released last year by the Department of Budget and Management for the installation of an Instrument Landing System (ILS).^[2]
