<\/p>\n
A HOUSE leader is pushing for another international airport in the province of Cebu.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Deputy Speaker and Cebu Rep. Vincent Franco Frasco filed House Bill 9665 that aims to establish Sogod Cebu International Airport.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fraco underscored the need to boost Cebu\u2019s air transport sector and economic growth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said the air transport sector is a vital enabler of economic growth and development, playing a significant role for high-value industries such as trade, manufacturing, and tourism.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The bill seeks to establish an international airport in the municipality of Sogod, Cebu, with a vision of creating more jobs for his constituents, enhancing the tourism industry, attracting more foreign investors, opening local business to the global market, and generating income and tax revenues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The proposed Sogod Cebu International Airport will be the second international airport in Cebu. Its establishment shall help decongest the air traffic in the existing Mactan-Cebu International Airport, which is considered to be the second busiest airport in the country.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Frasco said it will also serve as the main gateway in the northern part of the Central Visayas Region, bringing more access and connectivity across cities and other countries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Under HB 9665, the construction of the new international airport will be facilitated by the Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The airport will serve both domestic and international air transport operating on modernized facilities and sophisticated management systems.<\/p>\n
