wow! maganda ah! kelan ito sisimulan?

Wow! Nice design :okay: Congratz Tacloban!

nice design ! go go Leyte ! :okay:

very impressive! wished it was bigger.

holy shit!!! that's one impressive airport terminal!!! another sign of progress! :runaway:

congratulations tacloban! seems like there will be one good airport for each major regional island! :banana:

damn..sana ganto nlng din ang gawin sa laguindingan..since di pa naman nasisimulan ang terminal building..:D walang panaman ang design ng ILO, BCD, at CGY.. Galeng!!

“We’re expecting volume of traffic to increase tremendously in the future. We have the same number of flights with Iloilo City in which they have a new airport,” Sarmiento told LSDE.
Last year, Philippine Airlines (PAL) has a total aircraft movement of 1,846 from 1,466 in 2006 while Cebu Pacific movements went up from 1,734 the previous year to 2,172 in 2007.
The number of passenger for both PAL and Cebu Pacific Airline Company rose to 510,566 in 2007 from 206,160 a year before.
A study conducted by the Air Transportation Office aims to upgrade the DZR airport to conform to international standards and accommodate air traffic demand up to 2015.

Impressive:okay:

Its funny how all the secondary cities in the Philippines now (or will soon) have better airports than Manila as long as T3 isnt open.

damn..sana ganto nlng din ang gawin sa laguindingan..since di pa naman nasisimulan ang terminal building..:D walang panaman ang design ng ILO, BCD, at CGY.. Galeng!!

:bash: garabe ka naman! maganda rin naman ang terminal ng ILO, BCD, at CGY! wga mo naman E kumpara!:ohno:

^^ no one is arguing the beauty of ILO, BCD and CGY airports but IMO, Tacloban's will become the best hehehe.

holy shit!!! that's one impressive airport terminal!!! another sign of progress! :runaway:



yes, indeed! sana matapos ito before 2010!

^^ no one is arguing the beauty of ILO, BCD and CGY airports but IMO, Tacloban's will become the best hehehe.

^^^^ but iloilo is the first hightech. airport in the philippines to be finished...... nag papalano plang kayo nag o operate na ang iloilo!!!!! hehehe!:lol:

^ Please do not incite city versus city here. Your usertitle, "ILOILO AIRPORT FREAK" tells a lot. It would help if you read the rules. Thanks. :)

wow ang ganda!! why Daniel Romualdez, isn't Imelda more famous?? plus you don't even need to put in her last name you could just put Imelda airport and people would now whom you're referring to..

^^^^ but iloilo is the first hightech. airport in the philippines to be finished...... nag papalano plang kayo nag o operate na ang iloilo!!!!! hehehe!:lol:

Pao, did I told you at the PM to please evade CvC bashings?

I like the design of the building especially the all-glass walls. The terminal looks like its as big as the Iloilo Airport but this one looks a bit taller. Its going to be a great-looking airport when its done, only thing I don't like the design of the control tower and the bridges.

How long is the runway going to be?

The good thing about TAC is that it doesn't have to worry about urban sprawl surrounding the area because it is a peninsula. The only thing it has to do is to reclaim from the sea.

How long is the existing runway by the way?

wow ang ganda!! why Daniel Romualdez, isn't Imelda more famous?? plus you don't even need to put in her last name you could just put Imelda airport and people would now whom you're referring to..

pag Imelda Airport dapat engrande na ang design, very imeldific kumbaga hehehe

wow ang ganda!! why Daniel Romualdez, isn't Imelda more famous?? plus you don't even need to put in her last name you could just put Imelda airport and people would now whom you're referring to..

imelda papin?

OO siya yun,..ang bonus pa , ang music sa terminal puro kanta niya...

wow ang ganda!! why Daniel Romualdez, isn't Imelda more famous?? plus you don't even need to put in her last name you could just put Imelda airport and people would now whom you're referring to..

Di ba dapat dead na muna ang isang tao before a building can be named after him/her? hehehe.

^^ Pero when it comes to Romualdezes, Imelda seems to be the icon. :D

COngrats Tacloban! Hope to see more of this in other parts of the philippines.

Di ba dapat dead na muna ang isang tao before a building can be named after him/her? hehehe.

yes...my point excatly...

grabe,,,ala international convention center...ang bilis ng pagdami ng airport sa visayas alone

Very nice! :okay: (Except for the name)

yes, indeed! sana matapos ito before 2010!

2010!? Were you just kidding? 2010 is just 21 months away!

wow ang ganda!! why Daniel Romualdez, isn't Imelda more famous?? plus you don't even need to put in her last name you could just put Imelda airport and people would now whom you're referring to..

Isn't he Imelda's uncle? I think I read that somewhere.

Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport (Filipino: Paliparang Daniel Z. Romualdez, Waray-Waray: Luparan han Daniel Z. Romualdez) (IATA: TAC, ICAO: RPVA), also known as DZR Airport or Tacloban Airport, is an airport serving the general area of Tacloban City, located in the province of Leyte in the Philippines. The airport is classified as a trunkline airport, or a major commercial domestic airport, by the Air Transportation Office, a body of the Department of Transportation and Communications that is responsible for the operations of not only this airport but also of all other airports in the Philippines except the major international airports.

The airport is named after Daniel Z. Romualdez, a former speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives and uncle of former first lady Imelda Marcos.

=================================

The modernization of the airport has been repeatedly delayed after a botched financing plan which originally involved P1.3B funding from the Japan Bank for International Cooperation with the national government giving a counterpart fund of around P600M.

The original project envisioned the construction of a new two-storey passenger terminal building equipped with two passenger loading bridges, departure and arrival baggage conveyors, one escalator, three elevators, a flight information display system and security equipment.

The great thing about new airports is that the the designs keep changing into something better. This is just the proposed design and I'm expecting evn something greater. :)

P900-M rehab of Tacloban airport set in 2008

By Joey A. Gabieta
Visayas Bureau
First Posted 23:20:00 01/27/2008

TACLOBAN CITY -- The rehabilitation of the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport, the lone airport operating in Eastern Visayas, will start in 2008 on an estimated cost of nearly P900 million.

The Tacloban city government will put up P350 million as its counterpart, with the national government footing most of the cost of rehabilitating the airport, according to city administrator Jimmy Yaokasin.

Once finished, the city government will run the airport for 15 years before turning it over to the national government.

Yaokasin said they have been waiting for the approval of the P1.227 trillion 2008 national budget to secure the P530 million national government counterpart, which would be released through the Department of Transportation and Communications.

Based on the proposed memorandum of agreement between the DOTC and the city of Tacloban, the funds coming from the DOTC would be used for land acquisition and site development; relocation of the affected families; improvement of the airport's runways and procurement of navigational facilities, among others.

The city government, in turn, would be responsible for the rehabilitation of the airport's terminal building.

The city would run the terminal on a build-operate-and-transfer scheme and turn it over to the DOTC after 15 years, enough for it to recoup its investment, Yaokasin said.

The city government would raise its P350 million counterpart through a loan from a still unnamed financial institution, Yaokasin added.

The city administrator said the MOA would be set for signing after the approval of the national budget in Congress.

The agreement will be signed by Mayor Alfred Romualdez, representing the city government, and DOTC Secretary Leandro Mendoza, representing the national government.

Yaokasin said Secretary Cerge Remonde, head of the Presidential Management Staff, promised to help fasttrack the signing of the MOA.

He said Remonde, the Cabinet Secretary for Regional Development (Cord) for Eastern Visayas, earlier met with the city administrator in Malacañang and personally made a commitment for the immediate signing of the MOA after the passage of the national budget.

The 2008 national budget is still being deliberated by members of the bicameral conference committee, responsible for reconciling the House and Senate versions of the General Appropriations Act.

Mayor Romualdez said the DZR Airport must be improved as it would be an important component to his administration's campaign to attract tourists and investors to the city and other parts of the region.

it looks like the Shanghai-pudong IA (the terminal building), really nice. Hope they make it bigger, since it is the only airport in Eastern Visayas region.

sosyaling airport ito. sana masimulan na agad. kadiri lang name niya.

At initial glance, I actually thought the aiport was named after Daisy Romualdez. Isip ko ganun na pala kasikat sa leyte ang nanay ni Cristina Paner :nuts::lol:

Good looking renderings though. I hope they make it spacious. We Filipinos tend to be good at making cramp spaces :bash:

THey should also make more airports for that region.

Very beautiful airport. Ugly name. :D

^^ Uy di naman. Pero kasi meron talagang conceptions ang non-Warays na Romualdez = Imelda, hehehe!! Just think of Cristina Gonzales-Romualdez na lang. :okay:

sabi ko nga, dapat La Imelda airport na lang....

Kailan sisimulan ang construction ng New DZR Airport? Hindi ba maapektuhan ang airport operation once na sisimulan na ang pagconstruct?

it's so beautiful!!! grabe!!!! hands down! two thumbs up!

how do i that ? :nuts:

anyway i hope this airport project will not be tainted w/ anomalies again!

D.Z. Romualdez airport na lang. :D

Kailan sisimulan ang construction ng New DZR Airport? Hindi ba maapektuhan ang airport operation once na sisimulan na ang pagconstruct?

unless same location ang terminal building tapos idedemolish ang old terminal, di naman siguro

when the new DIA terminal was built, di naman na apektuhan ang operations ng airport although i think may konting adjustments sa flights nung nag expand ang runway

Wow nice terminal. 2nd to Ilo-ilo na pinaka magandang airport terminal sa Visayas. kaso "DZRA" parang radio station :lol:

It would be nice if this was built, we need to have modern world-class airports at every major corners of the Philippines. Western Visayas has got theirs last year with the opening of Iloilo Airport and New Silay Bacolod Airport. Southern Mindanao has Davao International Airport and Northern Mindanao will get the Laguindingan Airport by 2010.

Wow nice terminal. 2nd to Ilo-ilo na pinaka magandang airport terminal sa Visayas. kaso "DZRA" parang radio station :lol:
lol., oo nga no :lol: btw hinde lang Airport ang ipinangalan sa Romualdezes dito, meron rin:
RTR Plaza
RTR Medical Foundation (School + Hospital)
Justice Romualdez St.
Imelda Avenue (formerly Avenida Veteranos)
:bash:

THey should also make more airports for that region.

we have airports in Ormoc, Hilongos and Maasin but no commercial flights. Sana kahit Hilongos man lang may flight from Manila para doon na ako. 4 na oras din kasi ang biyahe from tac to hilongos.


ang pangit ng airport ng tacloban ngayon, parang terminal ng bus sa pasay. hehehe.

Impressive building design. I like everything about it. Tacloban Airport nalang ang itawag.

Baka sa mga Romualdez ang lupa :)

The rendering is bad but the design looks good. It's that blue glass, I hope it is. A nice airport, lots of new airports in the visayas region, nice.

"Imelda's airport" is in Mati, Davao Oriental (for reasons unknown to me).

Anyway, since I'm finally cleaning up translated airport names in Wikipedia, how would you translate the airport's name into Waray-Waray?

is this airport of international standards?

is this airport of international standards?

Well of course it is...why build an airport thats new but not at international standards? :nuts:

peace.

Well of course it is...why build an airport thats new but not at international standards? :nuts:

peace.

just asking..because its never indicated in its name..in usual cases, airports of international standards are being named with the word :international" attached to its new name..

...President GMA will be coming around here for the ground breaking of the new terminal...:hehe

...Di pa rin nauumpisahan...
...The final budget is about 2billion...

is the design final already?

^^ Matagal na ang design na iyan.. Not quite sure if they have made revisons.. Maybe Urban can answer..

OT: It's really futile for non-warays to equate Tacloban (or Leyte in general) to an Imelda country.. Imelda may come from Leyte but we do not adore her like a queen.

Like every rational being, we do not patrionize lavishness and fancy lifestyle..

The project, in contrary to speculations, is not spearheaded by Imelda. This project is a manifestation of Tacloban's economic progress as evidenced by it's recent inauguration as a Highly Urbanized City (HUC).

its unfortunate, indeed..

but we can' really remove it from Filipinos..Imelda ran for Representative of Leyte in the 1995 Elections..and won it..meaning, gusto pa rin xa ng tao..

^^ yeah.. It's really hard to remove biases and stereotypes once these are already inculcated in the minds of the people.. Hope their perception will change since those things are past already..

I'm just excited about this project in as much as other warays do, and I hope tuloy-tuloy pa ang mga developments sa Tacloban (without unnecessarily equating it with personalities)..

where this new airport be located just near the current one? when is also the estimated year of operation?

^^
...Same location pa rin...:)

diba there as provision in the Local Government Code prohibiting naming of government infrastractures and establishments in honor of living persons??

Nope, there isn't. They're proposing a measure, but it has not come to pass. Why do you think there's a "Belmonte Hall" in almost every high school in QC?

is the design final already?

sana yun na yun yung final design pangit kasi yung unang design ng DOTC. hehehe

^^^ thanks for the pic...

The runway

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/52/193081581_aba1b0219b_o.jpg

...What does the number stands for?

^^ From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runway): :colgate:

Runways are generally numbered according to their magnetic heading (the takeoff direction it is "pointing towards"). The runway number is the whole number nearest one-tenth (degrees divided by 10 rounded) of the magnetic azimuth of the runway centerline, measured clockwise from the magnetic north. Each digit is pronounced separately for clarity in radio communications. For example, Runway Three Six would be aligned in roughly a 360 degrees direction (magnetic north), Runway Nine would be used for a runway with a 94-degree alignment (close to magnetic east), and Runway One Seven for 168 degrees (16.8 rounds 17): 36 ~= 360/10, 9 ~= 94/10, 17 ~= 168/10.

Each runway can be used in either direction, and hence has two numbers, each 180° apart. Thus, Runway One Zero (100°) becomes Runway Two Eight (280°) when used in the opposite direction and Runway One Eight (180°) becomes Runway Three Six (360°). Runways in North America that lie within the Northern Domestic Airspace are, because of the magnetic north pole, usually numbered according to true north.

In International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and some United States military (such as Edwards Air Force Base) airports, numbers for runways less than 100° include the leading "zero", for example, Runway Zero Two or Runway Zero One Left. However in the United States at most civil aviation airports, numbers for runways less than 100° are often given as single digits; for instance, Runway Nine or Runway Four Right. This also includes some military airfields such as Cairns Army Airfield. This American anomaly may lead to inconsistencies in conversations between American pilots and controllers in other countries. It is very common in a country such as Canada for a controller to clear an incoming American aircraft to, for example, Runway 04, and the pilot read back the clearance as Runway 4. Users of flight simulation programs may note that those of American origin might apply U.S. usage to airports around the world. For example Runway 05 at Halifax (CYHZ) will appear on the FS program as the single digit 5 rather than 05.

Runway designations do change over time. Because the magnetic poles slowly drift on the Earth's surface, but the runways stay fixed, the magnetic bearing will change. Depending on the airport location and how much drift takes place, it may be necessary over time to change the runway designation. As runways are designated with headings rounded to the nearest 10 degrees, this will affect some runways more than others. For example,if the magnetic heading of a runway is 276 degrees , it would be designated Runway 28. If the magnetic heading changed upwards by 5 degrees, the Runway would still be Runway 28. If on the other hand the original magnetic heading was 284 (Runway 28), and the heading increased by only two degrees to 286, the runway should become Runway 29. Because the drift itself is quite slow, runway designation changes are relatively uncommon, and not welcomed, as they do require an accompanying change in a wide range of navigational and descriptive documents.

If there is more than one runway pointing in the same direction (parallel runways), each runway is identified by appending Left (L), Center (C) and Right (R) to the number — for example, Runways One Five Left (15L), One Five Center (15C), and One Five Right (15R). Runway Zero Two Left (02L) becomes Runway Two Zero Right (20R) when used in the opposite direction (derived from adding 18 to the original number for the 180 degrees when approaching from the opposite direction).

At large airports with more than three parallel runways (for example, at Los Angeles International Airport, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport,Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Denver International Airport), some runway identifiers are shifted by 10 degrees to avoid the ambiguity that would result with more than three parallel runways. In Los Angeles, this system results in Runways Six Left, Six Right, Seven Left, and Seven Right, even though all four runways are exactly parallel (approximately 69 degrees).

At Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, there are five parallel runways, named 17L, 17C, 17R, 18L, and 18R.

For fixed-wing aircraft it is advantageous to perform take-offs and landings into the wind to reduce takeoff roll and reduce the ground speed needed to attain flying speed. Larger airports usually have several runways in different directions, so that one can be selected that is most nearly aligned with the wind. Airports with one runway are often constructed to be aligned with the prevailing wind.

Runway dimensions vary from as small as 245 m (804 ft) long and 8 m (26 ft) wide in smaller general aviation airports, to 5,500 m (18,045 ft) long and 80 m (262 ft) wide at large international airports built to accommodate large passenger jets.

it's so beautiful!!! grabe!!!! hands down! two thumbs up!

looks like Washington DC airport............

^^ yeah, close to looking like the Dulles...

Ngayong April yung Ground Breaking para sa bagong terminal building! :cheers:

Impressive building design. I like everything about it. Tacloban Airport nalang ang itawag.

correct! Gawing Tacloban International Airport...

Ngayong April yung Ground Breaking para sa bagong terminal building! :cheers:

wow...kaupay la..ano man nga design ira subaran?the old one or an bag-o? :)

^^ I hope it would be the latest design. Pangit kasi yung first design. :D

^^ I hope it would be the latest design. Pangit kasi yung first design. :D

maraksot gud liwat..heheh..kun mayda pa mas maupay nga design mas better diba?

nag start na ada hira pag extension hit run way ha airport...kumita ak kanina baga nag filling man adto hira :dj:

^^
...Pagtagalog or English...:D

^^ Using a very, very limited understanding of Waray (admittedly, my Cebuano is marginally better), the post talks about both the terminal design and the runway extension. It seems that runway expansion works at TAC have commenced.

The second terminal design (which we have yet to see) seems to be better than the first one.

^^Bravo. Madali lang pala maintindihan ang Waray-waray eh. Hehehe . :lol:

^^
...Nalilito ako...

...nasaan ba ang first and second designs?

...Sana baguhin nalang yung name...
...Kahit Tacloban Airport nalang...Wag na madaming ka ek-ekan...

...Sabi pa ni Le Reine, kadiri yung name...:lol:

Ngayong April yung Ground Breaking para sa bagong terminal building! :cheers:

yu mean..ang terminal lang ang bago not the whole airport?

ah ganon ba? so the same runway?

asya na, sangkay :)

The first one..

The original project envisioned the construction of a new two-storey passenger terminal building equipped with two passenger loading bridges, departure and arrival baggage conveyors, one escalator, three elevators, a flight information display system and security equipment.

2nd..
http://leytegulf.callezaragosa.com/images/TacAirport-Aerial-W-1B.jpg

^^ I thought the second design was the first design. Haay.

well definitely the 2nd design is better.....i've seen the first design before...para siyang kapatid ng ilo-ilo at bacolod airport....at least yung 2nd design has a character all its own...pero kalain gudman han ngaran....tacloban airport would do just fine....

^^
...Yah...MAs maganda yung 2nd...

yup...pangit lang ang pangalan.....i don't know why taclobanons put up with it....

^^
...Yan na kase ata yung previous name ng airport na yan...

...kung ako nga yung tataningin gusto kong baguhin ang pangalan...

...Tacloban City Airport nalang sana...
...Pero wala na tayong magagawa...

meron magagawa di mag petition ang mga taclobanon na tac airport lang ang pangalan...

It looks like the 2nd design is much more expensive. the 1st pic just looks like bacolod airport, only with 2 bridges for TAC.

Ang ganda naman! Sana nga Tacloban airport na lang ang ipangalan, simple at madaling tandaan.:)

^^

...Pero wala na tayong magagawa...

meron magagawa di mag petition ang mga taclobanon na tac airport lang ang pangalan...

Ang ganda naman! Sana nga Tacloban airport na lang ang ipangalan, simple at madaling tandaan.:)

Well the airport was named after Former speaker of the Philippine House of Representatives, Daniel Z. Romualdez. He was the one who passed the bill for the cityhood of Tacloban. Marcos era. :)

so it will not be upgraded into an airport of international standards?

It will. May plano ngang gawin yung DZR Aiport na International Airport. [TIA]. ewan ko ano yung nangyari sa planong yun.

^^

Ganda ng plano ah!:D

^^
That will be the next major terminal construction after Cagayan de Oro. As usual, the airport project is foreign funded but I will not disclose the details yet. Its still classified information. Just an advance notice to the people of Tacloban. It will be constructed next year 2010 and will be the last airport project to be undertaken by PGMA before she steps down in June. I know it was supposed to be done this year but the government again moved its construction date due to budgetary constraint on the counterpart funds. It is projected to be done in 2012 and may preempt the opening of Cagayan de Oro airport by months.:)

thanks for the info.

haayz, we'll have to wait another year nanaman :( pero at least hinde na move ang target completion date

wala po bang change of plans? kasi it has recently been confirmed na tuloy ang groundbreaking kasama ang pangulo this april 27

PGMA arriving tomorrow for formal opening of Palaro

TACLOBAN CITY -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo would personally welcome the more than 10,000 young athletes from the country’s 17 administrative regions on the opening of the Palarong Pambansa on Tuesday.

Aside from attending this year’s Palarong Pambansa, the President would hold a Cabinet meeting and lead in the ground-breaking ceremony of the rehabilitation of the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport, said Philippine Information Agency Regional Director Olive Tiu.

The President is expected to arrive here in the city around 9 a.m. Tuesday and she would immediately proceed to the Leyte Sports Development Center (Grandstand), the site of the annual sports event involving elementary and high school students.

“We are now ready for the opening of the Palarong Pambansa,” Tiu said.

A grand cultural presentation involving hundreds of students would be among the highlights of the opening ceremonies of this year’s Palarong Pambansa, the first to be staged in the region in 26 years.

The provincial government of Leyte is this year’s host of the Palarong Pambansa, where the powerhouse National Capital Region is expected to dominate again as it tries to defend its crown both in the elementary and secondary divisions.

Elimination rounds of some games, however, are to begin today, Monday, to be held outside the newly-refurbished LSDC, said Editha Jacer of the regional office of the Department of Education’s consultant to the Palarong Pambansa.

She said that games at the LSDC would start right after the formal opening. “Some of the games will be played outside the Grandstand,” she said.

Among the venues for the Palarong Pambansa outside of the Grandstand are the gymnasium of the DepEd regional office; convention center of the Leyte Park Hotel; in Palo and at the Government Center.

“We are now ready for the Palaro. Security measures are also in place now,” Jacer said.

Tiu said that after the President’s speech on Tuesday, all the athletes from the competing 17 regions would join a parade which is to start at the Grandstand sneaking their way to Veteranos, Rizal, Justice Romualdez and to Balyu-an Amphitheater where they would be picked up by their respective service vehicles to their billeting quarters.

Competitions using the Grandstand as the venue would commence in the afternoon, Tiu said.

Meantime, the PIA-8 chief said that after her speech at the Palarong Pambansa opening, the President would motor her way to DZR Airport where she would preside a Cabinet meeting.

President Arroyo would also lead in the ground-breaking of the long-delayed rehabilitation of DZR Airport which is estimated to cost P4.1 billion, Tiu said.

None. Groundbreaking serves no other purpose than politics. In real world, groundbreaking is done to formally start the project but in the Philippines it is done to announce the coming of things to come. Only in the Philippines.

As far as the government is concerned, there is still no money to build the new terminal, but they are already being processed for foreign funding approval and the money will be released next year. Sadly, it won't probably come before GMA's term ends. That could be the reason for the early groundbreaking. Thats it!:)

^^ So sad. :ohno: 'wag na lang mag-groundbreaking kung wala pa nman budget.. puro politika lang mangyayari... next year nalang kung meron na.. :P

could you please lay down all your sources before stating any info in the thread....:)

^^
Sure. Sadly, these are not E-datable yet. If you could come at the DOTC office in Mandaluyong (now I'm stating my source) I'll direct you where to go. I'll help you get the access pass to get close to it but promise this forum to shoulder the cost of processing and convert a pdf version of the file for upload so that others can see as well. Sounds fair! I'll do my part you do yours.

It would be unfair to us if I show you where to find yet doesn't bother to share what you saw. It hovers around a thousand pages more or less. That means you have to look for yourself what you really want. You want it you do it. Don't waste my time finding it because I wasted mine already.

So if you could do that personally, just tell me when, or better yet you can pm me so that I can pass your contact details for security check and off you go. If you can't then I cannot help you. Until then I have better information than you have. You might as well wait the spoon-feed press just like anybody else.

One more thing, not all you see will be publish for security reasons :)

All systems go for DZR (Tacloban) Airport Redevelopment project | Print |
All systems go for DZR (Tacloban) Airport Redevelopment project PGMA to lead groundbreaking rites at air hub of Eastern Visayas region


After almost a decade, the long-awaited redevelopment of the Daniel Z. Romualdez (DZR) Airport in Tacloban City in the province of Leyte will finally commence, with the groundbreaking rites for the project scheduled today, April 28, to be led by no less than President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

“This is indeed a welcome development for us, not only in Leyte but also in nearby provinces as it would boost development efforts in the whole Eastern Visayas region. For this, we would like to thank President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, who has always been supportive of this project,” declared Rep. Ferdinand Martin Romualdez (1st district, Leyte), who will be joining the President as well as other national and local officials in the groundbreaking.




Eastern Visayas, otherwise known as Region 8, is one of only two regions in the country which do not have a land border with another region, and is comprised of the provinces of Leyte, Southern Leyte, Biliran, Samar, Eastern Samar and Northern Samar.

The estimated total cost for the modernization of the said airport, officially dubbed as the DZR (Tacloban) Airport Redevelopment Project, is projected by the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) to amount to P4.1 billion, which will be funded on a year-by-year basis by the national government under the General Appropriations Act.

Originally, the redevelopment of the said airport was supposed to be coupled with the construction of the Bacolod-Silay Airport under the Selected Airports Development Project of the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC). While the construction of the Bacolod-Silay Airport was completed, the DZR Airport was left behind.

To date, a total of P1.410 billion has been alloted for the project, to cover some of the components such as the Airside Infrastructure of the Civil Works component, the construction of a new passenger terminal and the installation of air navigation equipment.

As of 2007, The DZR Airport was ranked as the seventh busiest airport in the country in terms of passenger volume, next to Mactan-Cebu, Davao, Iloilo, Bacolod, Cagayan de Oro and Caticlan. Its total passenger volume in 2006 was 400,000, which increased to 521,000 in 2007 and spiked to 627,000 last year.

“If the increase in the passenger volume is an indicator, then it means that the DZR Airport has a lot of potential and would be worth the expenditure. Its modernization would boost tourism and other industries not only in Leyte but in the whole region because we would now be more accessible,” Romualdez declared. (PR)

I've went through this same scenario at one point in another thread. Once you say something that would spoil their "day dream" you somehow is considered a monster even if you are just stating a fact or imparting your knowledge to everybody. They hate to hear the practical reality of facts sometimes. I wish people would stop being too sensitive and just simply keep in touch with the reality. It's not you were saying what they were hoping for wouldn't happen, you were just simply stating the fact that there would be delay, and it's not all impossible.

Philippines is not a rich nation whatsoever that when they decided to build something such as airport, they can do it right away just like China or Japan. The Philippines doesn't have the means so they would have to rely on the mercy of a foreign investors, IF, you can really call that a "mercy" because they would make money off it. Nothing comes out for free, not a million dollar projects such as airport terminal building or roads.

In tagalog, hindi masarap mangarap ng kagandahan at kaunlaran pero dapat din isipin at harapin ang katutuhanan na kailangan utangin at ipakisuyo sa mga banyaga ang pagpapaunlad sa ibat ibang parte ng lalawigan ng Pilipinas kasama na rin ang kamaynilaan.

Hmm.. Chilax lang kayo.. :) I think nobody is seeing other people as monsters in this thread.. Many people have high hopes about the project, including me, and it is just reasonable to air out their sentiments/disappointments.. It is just a delay if indeed it's a delay.. No need to be sensational and provocative..

I am confused.. I thought the cost for the project is already included in the General Appropriations Act.. May foreign funding pa pala?

Well nobody is saying someone is a monster alright, let me set that straight, it was just a usual scenario of what might happened, especially if someone would react negatively on a certain explaination and opinion. It's just that some are very impulsive and very confrontational, they tend to read through lines. Alright enough of that.

I'm pretty sure once this terminal building is completed, it would be one of the best airport in the Philippines. I hope the next president would focus on pan Philippines highway since arroyo's administrations legacy is to build dozens of new airport terminals all over the Philippines. It's time to have a very efficient roadways and highways that would connect the whole Philippines via bridges and highways as well as a very good rail system from Aparri to Jolo if possible. That would really help in progress.

I am confused.. I thought the cost for the project is already included in the General Appropriations Act.. May foreign funding pa pala?

Don't be. I'll make it simple for you.

Our government cannot afford to fund a multi-million project at once because it also has to fund others as well.

Its like this, did you not notice that your parents cannot buy all of you your dream shoes (unless you are rich) assuming that you are 3 or 4 Brod in the family because kulang ang budget nila. And 3-4 thousand pesos Nike shoes is already expensive for the average household. Even if your Dad and Mom is receiving 20 thousand pesos salary, that they can easily buy it for you, ang dami nilang babayaran; pagkain, bahay, ilaw, tuition mo, telepono at broadband, amortization sa computer na gamit mo, at iba pa. Ibig sabihin nun naka budget na pera nila.

So what your mother do on your birthday is go to the bombay and make some utang to finance what you ask them to so that you will be happy. But not all of you can have new shoes at one time.

Government projects work the same way. They have money for it but they cannot put everything on it. To make that possible they go to foreign funding agencies to finance it. These funding agencies are like banks. They won't let you loan the entire amount without the government spending something, which is called the local counterpart funds.

These counter part funds can only be provided by Congress thats why its part of GAA or General Appropriations Act, meaning naka budget siya for expenditure for that particular project on a particular year. Malacanang's job is to spend it. Congress is not crazy to put all the money in one project. Kaya si GMA order lang ng order to release funds. People doesn't know that she doesn't have the power to appropriate money to be spent but people are happy that way. That is called politics.

Going back, because a foreign funded project requires a counterpart fund, the government has to have that money ready if they want to start the project rolling. For example, if the project is worth 10 billion pesos, the government is required to shell out 10-20% of the cost. So that would be 1-2 billion.

Ang problema, government doesn't have that money at an instant. Poor Country lang tayo remember?

So ano ginagawa nila, they divide the cost overtime by releasing what is available this year, lets say naka budget ngayon 500 million, and last year 500 din. So what we have now is 1 billion counterpart.

If the funding requirements call for 20%, then our government must raise 2 billion. With the money that we raised kulang pa rin yun, so another 500 million will be added next year and the next year para makumpleto and 2 Billion. IF they have that amount, then the 8 Billion will be given to us to finance the remaining project. In our example, the main project will officially start 2 years from now because it will only be the time when our government completes the 2 billion counterpart.

In airport development, counterpart funds usually goes to site acquisition and improvements. What are those? The government has to buy land to put the runway on or the airport terminal on it or if they were there already, to expand the terminal or buy new land to expand the runway or for taxiway provision and to put new roads for access. If you notice, all new airports have new roads. Kasi paano ka naman pupunta dun kung walang daan o masyadong maliit yung daan? Eh di traffic bagsak mo, ma late ka pa sa flight. Common sense di ba! Thats why the NAIA T3 project includes provision for ramp access and flyover to expedite going to and from the airport.

If you look at Davao, Bacolod and Iloilo Airports, meron na silang land for future taxiway kahit wala pa. thats why government are buying lands for that purpose. Same thing goes with Tacloban.

I hope I cleared everyone's mind.:)

sabi ni arianespace, 2010 mag start at 2012 yung target completion date.

sabi ng media, 2009 mag start at 3 years yung pag build = 2012 parin :lol:

thanks for the info.

haayz, we'll have to wait another year nanaman :( pero at least hinde na move ang target completion date

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo led groundbreaking rites yesterday (28 April) for the new Daniel Z Romualdez Airport terminal in Tacloban, Philippines. The upgrading of DZR Airport is envisioned to meet the demands of an increasing number of air passengers in Eastern Visayas and boost the region’s economic and tourism development programmes.

The proposed US$3.2 million terminal building is being built on a 4,899m2 portion of the airport complex. Construction will begin this year and generate 600 jobs for residents in the area. When complete, DZR airport will become one of the country’s secondary international airports.

Already under way is the asphalting of the airport runway and construction of shore protection.

very nice airport ... :cheer:

Wooah. Medyo may kaguluhan dito sa thread na ito. Okey lang yan kung next year pa magstart ang construction. Maupay nala nga mayda nat pinapamulat kesa hit waray diba?

you speak waray? :)

"go to the bombay and make some utang to finance"

I hope our government doesn't rely on this usurious kind of financing. We all know about the 5/6 system (utang ng limang piso, bayad ng anim na piso in a week's time). Mahihirapan ang Pilipinas magbayad sa ganitong arrangement.

Wooah. Medyo may kaguluhan dito sa thread na ito. Okey lang yan kung next year pa magstart ang construction. Maupay nala nga mayda nat pinapamulat kesa hit waray diba?

Korek ka diyan mars!! For as long as matutuloy ang project na ito walang problema.. The problem is on people making the issue a problem to the extent of ridiculing other people just to prove their point.. Go go go Tacloban!! :)

Sure. Sadly, these are not E-datable yet. If you could come at the DOTC office in Mandaluyong (now I'm stating my source) I'll direct you where to go. I'll help you get the access pass to get close to it but promise this forum to shoulder the cost of processing and convert a pdf version of the file for upload so that others can see as well. Sounds fair! I'll do my part you do yours.

Until then I have better information than you have. You might as well wait the spoon-feed press just like anybody else.

One more thing, not all you see will be publish for security reasons :)

Nice try, but you can't BS youserlf out of this one. You may have seen it, but really, you don't have the sources until you post it here. You stated it, therefore you must provide the sources.

By pointing us where to get it, doesn't prove that you have the facts. Please if can't say anything nice, why not just keep to yourself unless you can back up what you say...:bash:

^^
Well if you want it then you can have my challenge then. Simple! NO BS. I don't have to go to lengthy debate here just to prove what I know. You can PM me if your interested. Again, simple. You don't have to be rude. At least all SC community can benefit from your inquiry but please don't waste my time doing it for you on your hearts content. You want it, you get it. Easy.

So why don't you take my challenge, see what you want, publish what you saw here and prove me wrong. Again, simple. Until then I have better facts than you have. How hard can that be? :)

If still that's too difficult for you then lets bet that no terminal construction will be made this year until December 31? If they start constructing the terminal, then I lose. If they start construction next year then you lose. Again, Simple. You can start your bid now and i'll match it. And then lets put the bet on escrew at any philippine banking institution you choose redeemable on January 1st 2010. I think thats fair to save the bruhaha we have!

I may not be Taclobanon, nor am I Waray, but I certainly know that the second design is certainly better than this one. No offense to the DOTC, but if they allow the first design to push through, people might think they landed in Bacolod, in the other side of the Visayas! :ohno:

kasi nga mass producti0n yan...dapat hindi pumayag ang mga waray.....kundiri waray gud kamo mga buot....:lol:

:lol:. Agat waray buot.:)

dapat yung second design.....mas maganda yun.....at naiiba...

^^


Don't be. I'll make it simple for you.

Our government cannot afford to fund a multi-million project at once because it also has to fund others as well.

Its like this, did you not notice that your parents cannot buy all of you your dream shoes (unless you are rich) assuming that you are 3 or 4 Brod in the family because kulang ang budget nila. And 3-4 thousand pesos Nike shoes is already expensive for the average household. Even if your Dad and Mom is receiving 20 thousand pesos salary, that they can easily buy it for you, ang dami nilang babayaran; pagkain, bahay, ilaw, tuition mo, telepono at broadband, amortization sa computer na gamit mo, at iba pa. Ibig sabihin nun naka budget na pera nila.

So what your mother do on your birthday is go to the bombay and make some utang to finance what you ask them to so that you will be happy. But not all of you can have new shoes at one time.

Government projects work the same way. They have money for it but they cannot put everything on it. To make that possible they go to foreign funding agencies to finance it. These funding agencies are like banks. They won't let you loan the entire amount without the government spending something, which is called the local counterpart funds.

These counter part funds can only be provided by Congress thats why its part of GAA or General Appropriations Act, meaning naka budget siya for expenditure for that particular project on a particular year. Malacanang's job is to spend it. Congress is not crazy to put all the money in one project. Kaya si GMA order lang ng order to release funds. People doesn't know that she doesn't have the power to appropriate money to be spent but people are happy that way. That is called politics.

Going back, because a foreign funded project requires a counterpart fund, the government has to have that money ready if they want to start the project rolling. For example, if the project is worth 10 billion pesos, the government is required to shell out 10-20% of the cost. So that would be 1-2 billion.

Ang problema, government doesn't have that money at an instant. Poor Country lang tayo remember?

So ano ginagawa nila, they divide the cost overtime by releasing what is available this year, lets say naka budget ngayon 500 million, and last year 500 din. So what we have now is 1 billion counterpart.

If the funding requirements call for 20%, then our government must raise 2 billion. With the money that we raised kulang pa rin yun, so another 500 million will be added next year and the next year para makumpleto and 2 Billion. IF they have that amount, then the 8 Billion will be given to us to finance the remaining project. In our example, the main project will officially start 2 years from now because it will only be the time when our government completes the 2 billion counterpart.

In airport development, counterpart funds usually goes to site acquisition and improvements. What are those? The government has to buy land to put the runway on or the airport terminal on it or if they were there already, to expand the terminal or buy new land to expand the runway or for taxiway provision and to put new roads for access. If you notice, all new airports have new roads. Kasi paano ka naman pupunta dun kung walang daan o masyadong maliit yung daan? Eh di traffic bagsak mo, ma late ka pa sa flight. Common sense di ba! Thats why the NAIA T3 project includes provision for ramp access and flyover to expedite going to and from the airport.

If you look at Davao, Bacolod and Iloilo Airports, meron na silang land for future taxiway kahit wala pa. thats why government are buying lands for that purpose. Same thing goes with Tacloban.

I hope I cleared everyone's mind.:)


well explained :) so in our case kasi ung budget ng airport naging 4billion na so in next 4 years pa yan mauupisahan? tama ba? :)

^^
Well if you want it then you can have my challenge then. Simple! NO BS. I don't have to go to lengthy debate here just to prove what I know. You can PM me if your interested. Again, simple. You don't have to be rude. At least all SC community can benefit from your inquiry but please don't waste my time doing it for you on your hearts content. You want it, you get it. Easy.

So why don't you take my challenge, see what you want, publish what you saw here and prove me wrong. Again, simple. Until then I have better facts than you have. How hard can that be? :)

If still that's too difficult for you then lets bet that no terminal construction will be made this year until December 31? If they start constructing the terminal, then I lose. If they start construction next year then you lose. Again, Simple. You can start your bid now and i'll match it. And then lets put the bet on escrew at any philippine banking institution you choose redeemable on January 1st 2010. I think thats fair to save the bruhaha we have!

What is it with you? you're too negative. People are drawn to read posts here not to be discouraged, but to be inspired, where is your spirit? taga diin ka ngani, kay ano nga ikaw inin gin kukurian kun madadayon o diri.

I am simply saying, please don't be to ahead of the situation, let it be. Siring paman han akon nanay, ta nawarayan ka hin pag ka inocente. Duro in imo pagkamaaram. Hinayhinay la intoy bangin ka atakihon dida! aber kon nakasayod ka? :bash:

I may not be Taclobanon, nor am I Waray, but I certainly know that the second design is certainly better than this one. No offense to the DOTC, but if they allow the first design to push through, people might think they landed in Bacolod, in the other side of the Visayas! :ohno:
Hmmm, now I'm thinking...Remember the Marcos era airports where most airports have steep triangular roofs that resembled either a Torogan of the Maranaos or the bahay na kubo? That was during then...

And looks like now, this is the current trend of Philippine airports...but I hope it could've been that blue all glass airport na lang instead ang pinili nila for TAC. DOTC just recycled another design...is it because for cost-cutting?

Anyway, the good news is at least the airport's improvement is on the pipeline. Given the increase in passenger traffic in Tacloban. :)

Hindi naman. Pilots knew how to steer their gear to the right direction and read compasses LMAO

The original one does looks really nice but the second one isn't bad either. I don't think the people from Bacolod that they are being stripped off their identity just because the airport looks the same. Besides, it is more of a modern design so it does not reflect the bacolod culuture. Maybe it's the budget that is at stake and that they hired the same architech and engineers so they came up with a design similar to BCD.

I don't think arianspace is trying to bust someone's balls. Nor he is trying his rain dance to spoil a parade. He was just simply saying it may get delayed. I'm sure nobody wants to hear this but he is not saying it's not gonna happen at all. I mean, if some say YES YES YES and he knew all along that nothing is going to happen right away until later, wouldn't that would cost disappointments as well? I mean, I myself would want to hear "what's up" so I won't be going expect something that i would only be disappointed in the end. I understand about alot of people are excited about the project, I'm sure even arianspace wanted to share this with you guys but if someone knows an actual update, that can also be used as something constructive because you would still hope the project would materialize at a given time so we can psych ourselves into expecting it will happen but we have to be a little more patient. You do have the right to ask for a proof or evidence, that would really help having a bit of peace of mind. PEACE Y'all!

No one said it isn't ok to tell, but before you say something that is discouraging to so many hopefuls, have your facts and sources ready for us to see. Otherwise it's all hersay...I don't think you get it either. :cheers:

I just realized that unless you've been through as passengers using DZR for years, you will never share the disappointments we've (mga waray) had over the years...so I understand why you feel that way.

arianspace had good insights and info in the bacolod airport thread so he's a good resource person for this thread.

I've seen that mock up of the "new" DZR airport like for ages at the departure gate. i wonder if it has been changed. It had a "banig" style interior.

is a runway extension / rehab in the works ? the runway seem short (and ancient) for larger aircraft.

dapat yung second design.....mas maganda yun.....at naiiba...

Mas maganda nga ang second design, Siguro hindi aware ang media na may second design kaya ang scale model ng DOTC ang pinakita nila at tinawag na official airport design. Sana lang yung proposal ng city government ang masunod.:)

I totally understand what you are saying but I was just saying, why would one would make up a story if they have something they got that from. What would he get from lying? The best response to his previous post is "let's just wait and see". Knowing how it is there in the Philippines half of the time, what arianspace mentioned is not all so impossible because those things happens, just like in MCIA of Cebu, same thing in DMIA in Clark. Both were said have new terminal building or remodelling. MCIA was supposed to start with the renevation and it never happened yet...

The point of the matter is, nobody said no new terminal is going happen in Tacloban, because there isl.. the keyword is, it will be a bit delayed, do we know it for sure? possibly.. Possibly arianspace picked up a wrong information (even infact what he saw, he copied it and posted in SSC Bacolod thread). Now, arianspace mentioned where he got his message and if he deem to be legally unsafe for him to posts it publicly and he just said something partial to play safe. Everybody can check the sources he got and find it there. I am not taking either side of you, that is why on my last post, I mentioned you do have the right to ask for his sources. And I do undestand the frustration on you guys part, it's the same frustration almost every filipino travelers have about NAIA's T1 and T3. We can still take what arianspace mentioned constructively, after all, most of his input make sense and if he was proven wrong, I have witnessed him apologized and took the correction in a gentlemanly manner.

hay ang hirap makipag usap sayo..kung may sasabihin ka na discouraging para sa mga taong gustong-gusto ng magkaron ng pagbabago, siguraduhin mo na may sources ka at talagang totoo yang sinasabi mo. Ikaw ba sa lahat nang binabasa mo pinaniniwalaan mo? hindi diba? kung ikaw ba naman sinabihan nang ganyan tapos excited ka na kasi may movement na, matutuwa ka ba? open kami sa mga news na ganyan din hindi lang naman mga positive.

Gusto din namin ang totohanan. Pero para naman kami maniwala bigyan nyo kami ng evidensya na para kami maniwala. Di naman namin kilala sya, kung tito ko sya at sinabi nya sa akin yun eh di maniniwala ako kasi alam ko tito di magsisinungaling kasi kilala ko sya. get mo na?

tinuturo sa english 101 yan, pag may sinulat ka at may balita ka, kailangan ilagay mo ang sources mo, kasi di namin alam kung san mo nakuha yan. ganun lang ang point ko. wala nang iba.

Mas maganda nga ang second design, Siguro hindi aware ang media na may second design kaya ang scale model ng DOTC ang pinakita nila at tinawag na official airport design. Sana lang yung proposal ng city government ang masunod.:)

that's what we are hoping for. yung ibang media ung glassy na design yung pinakita nila, yung sa TV Patrol Tacloban at LSDE lang ang hinde. yung facilities nga ng airport ni-quote pa (without citing sources ng LSDE) galing sa post sa SSC/wikipedia.

maganda ang BCD pero kung parehong design ang gamitin para sa TAC hinde na sila maituturing na landmark sa bawat lungsod.

Maybe because ang national gov't ang magfifinance para sa project kaya yung 1st design yung pinili. But kung pinayagan lang ng DOTC na ang city gov't ang maguundertake sa pagtayo ng bagong airport terminal building yung 2nd design yung susundin nila.

I really like the 2nd design. Hindi natanggal ang tuwa sa aking mukha nung nakita ko yun. Well its better kesa naman sa hindi irerehabilitate yung airport.

P500M allocated this year for Tacloban DZR airport's site acquisition and dev't

TACLOBAN CITY — The national government has allocated P500 million this year for the Tacloban Airport site acquisition and development, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said.

This was revealed by CAAP Eastern Visayas area manager Merla Negradas, following the confirmation that no less than President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will lead in the groundbreaking of the new airport terminal building today.

“There’s already an allocation for this project and this will be released soon,” Negradas told Leyte Samar Daily Express.

Involved on this P500 million worth work are site development, relocation site of around 200 families living along the areas that would be used for the expansion of the airport

Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) records show that the airport’s property occupied some 123.7 hectares. Under the proposed airport development project seeks to expand the airport to a more than 100 hectares new site.

At present, development activities that have been implemented include the construction of shore protection wall, asphalt overlay of the runway, grading of the runway shoulder.

The rehabilitation of the DZR Airport has been in the pipeline for over 10 years now but for some reason, the project failed to materialize. It has been in operations since 1973.

New terminal building construction is part of the estimated over P2 billion Tacloban Airport development project, which has been long overdue. This is to cope with the increasing air traffic demand until 2015.

Engr. Dante Lulu, DOTC area manager for Regions 6 and 8, said the central government has initially released P155 million for the for the construction of the new building.

“We have no idea about the total amount. It will be released by tranche,” Lulu said in a phone interview with Leyte Samar Daily Express.

The DOTC has yet to come up with a final design of the building that will suit the atmosphere of the province.

“Our experts are in different airports of the country to see which of the existing terminal building designs is ideal for the city,” Lulu added.



Last year, DZR served 308,379 incoming passengers and another 310,322 outgoing passengers.

This number of passengers is relatively higher compared to the 2007 number: 256,177 incoming passengers and 253,789 outgoing passengers.

The country’s two leading airlines, Cebu Pacific and the Philippine Air Lines, have a combined seven flights a day for Manila and four flights on a daily basis to Cebu. Zest Airways launched the Tacloban-Manila daily route last March. ..............................






good news guyss!!! DOTC has a new design for the airport...so i think hndi yung miniature model na nkadisplay sa departure area of DZR airport yung gagamitin.. so far, DOTC has not released yet to the public the rendering of the new design....

Hindi ba nag bigay siya ng sources niya na puwede mo o kahit sinong gusto mag access?? Besides, may projected time frame siya na nabangit.

asya na, sangkay :)

it's posted in the previous pages..

The first one..

The original project envisioned the construction of a new two-storey passenger terminal building equipped with two passenger loading bridges, departure and arrival baggage conveyors, one escalator, three elevators, a flight information display system and security equipment.

para saan ang 3 elevators ng DOTC (BCD) design?

sana mag pag aralan nila yung design ng city architect. ilang beses ko na kasi napaniginipan yan :lol:

@urban, don't worry....meron pa ksing third design...i think fusion between 1st & 2nd designs...hintayin na lng natin....

@urban, don't worry....meron pa ksing third design...i think fusion between 1st & 2nd designs...hintayin na lng natin....

Sino po gagawa ng third design? Ang third design po kaya ang magiging official or final design?

i think there is some misinterpretation. Saying that there will be a third design is still premature.. The article mentioned:

The DOTC has yet to come up with a final design of the building that will suit the atmosphere of the province.

“Our experts are in different airports of the country to see which of the EXISTING terminal building designs is ideal for the city,” Lulu added.

I think the existing terminal they are refering to is either that of 1st design which resembles the new terminal building of Bacolod, or the second design proposed by the city government..

^^ By existing, I think they mean the two existing designs already allocated for TAC. I hope it's the second one. :D

^^ yep.. i hope it's the second one.. :)

mas bagay ang 2nd design sa ganitong setting

yung cottage siguro ginawang tambayan ng mga tga PAF :lol:

sana umpisahan na. 10x much better than the design of Laguindingan/CDO airport. and wag sanang matulad sa CDO na umabot ng 2 decades in the making. good luck Tacloban!:cheers:

^ more than a decade lang naman in the making.

fact: Tacloban Airport is located on a peninsula. It occupies almost the whole Cataisan Peninsula :D

i will still go for the second design......galing ng gumawa nun.....

naniniwala ako sa sinabi ni arianespace. tama sya, groundbreaking lang yan pero mga 1-2years after pa yan masisimulan kapag nakumpleto na nila ang budget para sa project na yan. yan din malamang ang dahilan kung bakit na-downsized ang hitsura upang makatipid ang pamahalaan.

^^Base sa mga nabasa ko hindi pa talaga masisimulan ang actual construction ng terminal this year pero magsisismula na sila ng ilang improvements sa vicinity ng airport within this year.:)

basta magsimula...ok na....kahit magtabas muna ng damo....:lol:..basta meron na work done....

I have no idea kung saan nila ilalagay yung bagong terminal building. Hindi ba maapektuhan ang flights sa airport once magstart na ang rehab?

^^ They could do what they did with GenSan when it first opened: there was no permanent terminal, but the runway and taxiway were already operational for the 1996 Palarong Pambansa.

Kaya nga. Bagay yung 2nd design sa kulay ng tubig na nakapalibot sa Airport. Pero sabi sa news yung miniature model na pinakita sa groundbreaking hindi pa daw yun final. pagiisipan pa ng DOTC kung anong design ang pipiliin nila yung 1st or yung 2nd.

naku delikado....pano kung walang isip....:lol:

ano daw?

DOTC undecided as to design of proposed DZR airport terminal building (http://leytesamardaily.com)

TACLOBAN CITY – Over a week after the groundbreaking of the Tacloban Airport terminal building led by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the Department of Transportation and Commu-nication (DOTC) is still undecided as to what would be the final building design.

DOTC area manager for Regions 6 and 8 Dante Lulu said that they are still looking for a design that will be incorporated in the final plan of the P155-million project.

“Our experts are in different airports of the country to see which of the existing terminal building designs is ideal for the city,” Lulu said in a mobile phone interview.

The official who takes charge of the project said that the miniature displayed during the Presidential visit is just one of their options and it’s not the final blueprint.

Even after the groundbreaking, the government will not yet start the project since they are still on the process acquiring lots for airport expansion which is now 30% accomplished.

The central government has allocated P500 million for lot acquisition this year. Under the original plan, it will be finished by August along with the installation of navigational facilities.

When asked when the project will start, he said that they would just wait for directives from higher transportation officials.

It can be recalled that the Chief Executive lowered the time capsule of the proposed P155-million airport terminal building on a 4,899.96 square meter portion of the airport complex.

The airport terminal building project will generate 600 jobs for residents in the area, according to Office of the Press Secretary.

The Arroyo administration has already released an initial P1.141 billion for the modernization of the airport. When completed, the DZR airport will become one of the country’s secondary international airports.

Already under way is the asphalting of the airport runway and construction of shore protection costing P625.5 million.

The other components of the project to be implemented include the installation of air navigational facilities costing P230 million and the acquisition of lots for the expansion of the total land area of the airport terminal complex. A total of P130 million has been earmarked for land acquisition.

The balance of P 2.989 billion of the total allocation for the TADP will be released under a multi-year obligation allotment scheme until 2012.

Aside from the passenger terminal building, a new and larger cargo terminal building is planned to be constructed to cope with the rising demand for air cargo services in the region.

The rehabilitation of the Tacloban Airport has been in the pipeline for over 10 years now but for some reason, the project failed to materialize. (Sarwell Q. Meniano)

^^Oh baka dun din nya kinuha. So kung gumawa ng tulay connecting downtown area to Cataisan Peninsula it will be a 2.2km bridge? :lol:

i mean kung tignan mo ang angle ng kuha, sa sagkahan talaga kinuha ang pic :lol: amo tak pagkita ha GEarth :lol:

tutol ako sa bridge na yan :lol: saka na kung maging mega metropolis na ang Tacloban.. mga year 2050? :lol:

A taxiway is a path on an airport connecting runways with ramps, hangars, terminals and other facilities. They mostly have hard surface such as asphalt or concrete, although smaller airports sometimes use gravel or grass.

Busy airports typically construct high-speed or rapid-exit taxiways in order to allow aircraft to leave the runway at higher speeds. This allows the aircraft to vacate the runway quicker, permitting another to land in a shorter space of time.

Repair of DZR Airport terminal to start this month -CAAP (http://leytesamardaily.com)
TACLOBAN CITY — The dilapidated terminal of the Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport here is to undergo repair within the month with a budget of P10 million.

The repair of the airport terminal, however, is independent and separate from the major rehabilitation plan of the said airport, stressed Sergio Sumergido, officer-in-charge of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines-8.

“The (physical) condition of the terminal is no longer conducive to our passengers. Some of its ceilings need to be fixed,” Sumergido said, explaining the repair work to be done at the terminal building.

It was learned from him that the Cebu-based Vargas Construction Company would undertake the repair of the terminal building.

Sumergido said that the construction company is just waiting on the issuance of the notice to proceed (NIP) from the Department of Transportation and Communications for the repair work to start.

“But the repair work will start anytime this month and is expected to be finished within 90-day calendar day,” the CAAP officer-in-charge officer said.

He, however, said that he has no idea what is the specific scope of work with regard to the repair of the terminal building, which was constructed in 1974.

But for sure, Sumergido said, once finished, the DZR terminal building would not only make the passengers comfortable while waiting for their departure but “aesthetically” good to look at.

“Its present condition is not really good to look at. But with the repair, its aesthetic value would be enhanced,” he said.

“Of course, the main reason for the repair is to make our passengers more comfortable,” Sumergido added.

It was learned from him that the major rehabilitation of the DZR Airport would proceed as planned.

“It will take some time for the rehabilitation of the airport to start. But meanwhile, we have to repair our terminal building for the convenience of our passengers,” Sumergido said.

In fact, asphalt overlay of the runway and construction of shore protection of the airport in the amount of over P600 million has started already, he said.

Last April 28, President Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo led in the groundbreaking of the DZR Airport planned rehabilitation attended by several regional officials and Mayor Alfred Romualdez.

Meantime, Sumergido said that there is really a need for the airport to be given a face-lift considering the volume of passengers is in the uptrend.

The DZR Airport is the region’s premièred airport with the Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific, to include the new player Zest Air, have a combined 11 daily flights for Manila and Cebu.

From January up to June this year, more than 637,000 passengers, both incoming and outgoing, used the DZR Airport in going to their respective destinations. (JOEY A. GABIETA)
