[Chrisvenz]

pero there are repercussions if it will be daily..the plane to be used will be changed to a smaller plane..not like ngaun, malaki ung planes servicing Zamboanga-Davao routes kc 4 times weekly lang ang biyahe..

mas okay na gamiting ng CebPac ang ATR nila than the jets. I find ATR very cute. :lol:

[regjeex]

Congrats... 2nd thread na:cheers:

[zoroethgenre_003]

cute nga..pero very turbulent..

[Chrisvenz]

^^ hahaha that would be fine. After all, CebPac finally made it ZAM-DAV to daily than 4 times a week.

Dba ZIA terminal can only accommodate 500 passengers. I wonder why they didnt expand the terminal since ZIA now has 400k passenger per year. Sa calculation ko, ZIA terminal can only accommodate 180,500 passenger annually.

u mean 500 passengers daily?

[Chrisvenz]

^^ yup.

[zoroethgenre_003]

so meaning..with a 480,000 passengers yearly..ZIA is serving around 1,300 passengers daily..exceeding by 800 passengers..

[Chrisvenz]

^^ yup. kaya nga medyo hassle na sa loob ng ZIA eh.

[zoroethgenre_003]

^^ yup. kaya nga medyo hassle na sa loob ng ZIA eh.

napansin ko nga..one time i have to catch a 7am flight of PAL..wala na kaming maupuan sa waiting area..

[Chrisvenz]

^^ see. That happened to me last time. There are 4 flights in ZIA around 7am. These are Philippine Airline (Manila), Cebu Pacfic (Davao/Cebu), Cebu Pacific (Manila), SeAir (Jolo).

[chuck23]

^^ Wala pa yan un Zest Air..what more if it is already plying routes here..so busy..

CEB expands domestic
services in leisure markets (http://www.dailymirror.ph/Feb/business02172009&02.html)

Cebu Pacific (CEB), will mount additional frequencies to Boracay (Caticlan), Busuanga (Coron, Palawan), and for its Davao-Zamboanga service in anticipation of strong demand in the summer season.

Starting March 25, CEB will increase its Manila-Boracay (Caticlan) service to 77-times weekly from 56-times weekly. The airline also ups its Cebu-Caticlan frequency to twice daily from once daily.

CEB will also add three flights to its Manila-Busuanga service, making it a twice daily service. It will also increase the frequency of its Davao-Zamboanga service to daily from four-times weekly.

The airline will use its eighth ATR 72-500 aircraft to mount these additional flights in time for the summer peak.

This brings CEB's weekly domestic flights to 1,206 from 1,152.

"We hope to continue stimulating air travel in these leisure destinations," Candice Iyog, CEB vice president for marketing and distribution, said.

"Aside from the increased frequencies, CEB will still offer its low fares and brand new aircraft to its passengers. We hope that this will draw more local and foreign tourists to these areas," Iyog added.

The lowest year round 'Go Lite' fare to Boracay (Caticlan) starts P1,188 all-in while its Manila-Busuanga fares starts from P788 all-in. Davao-Zamboanga all-in 'Go Lite' fare starts from P1,348.

Iyog concluded, "We encourage travelers to book their flights early through CEB's website, www.ce-bupacificair.com, or through their nearest travel agent."

Now in its 13th year, CEB has the youngest aircraft fleet in the Philippines. It flies to 15 international cities and 29, soon to be 31 domestic destinations with the addition of Calbayog on Wednesday, Ferbruay 18, and Siargao on March 2.

they should also consider increasing the frequency of Manila -Zamboanga to 3 times daily..always fully booked na kasi sila..

[Chrisvenz]

^^ that's true.

[xzibit31]

you know what, IMHO, 5J is overstretching the flight time of their aircraft. sa sobrang dami ng flights nila they have only 22 aircraft. halos wala nang pahinga ang mga eroplano nila.

its not that dangerous. Cebu Pacific has the youngest fleet in Philippines. So it's normal for the planes to fly several times in a day. But the thing is, its not good for their passengers and to the company.

The one who made this must be dreaming. Very Hard!:lol:

For one, there is only one export processing center in Zamboanga. You will find it in ECOZONE and its nowhere near Mercedes. I give you a clue, its near Ayala. And if you travel by car its 1 hour away from Putik.

Second, there was yet no official design. Three proponents are still drawing the plans in accordance with specifications. Last time I checked, none has submitted. That means they are still working on it.

Third, I know how it looks like, meaning, how DOTC wanted it to be.

If only you folks visit Celso Bayabos, I'm sure he will give you details on the plan and how it is supposed to look like. He is very friendly and accommodating too!:)

it seems to me that you know everything about it..but you dont want to share it..

it seems to me that you know everything about it..but you dont want to share it..

i believe arianespace is doing a very good job in the forums informing us on a lot of details no one else has such precise hands on and i suppose he is telling us everything he simply is allowed to. :)

[lochinvar]

So when is the new airport going to be built and what's the plan for the current airport?

[arianespace]

^^
I will tell you everything if you read my post and others in the previous thread. Sometimes answers can be found by reading back. I don't know if you are up to it.

If you want to know what will happen to the old one, THINK Iloilo and Bacolod. You can find answers by reading their threads too.

And yes, there are some things I know which I'm not allowed to divulge otherwise i lose the trust of my friends who made me look a peek at it. I still valued the trust if you don't mind.

And aside of it, How hard can it be to visit the local CAAP office when the airport is situated in downtown Zamboanga? Makes me wonder. I already give you the address. I don't suppose you want me to walk with you there!

hi mrboy and lochinvar,

sorry if i am intruding in this dicussion but please consider:

without all the detailed information arianespace can offer the public we would be bearely informed through best kept address on progress and inside information on trends of philippine civilian aviation.

lets just appreciate what he can do for us and accept his honorable justification and attitude in valued trust to and with his fellow informants and friends.

i myself have learnt a lot through his frank- and openness about the aviation scene in the philippines, more than anyone was able to inform the forum before (bustero would be to mention as well).

and that fact has stimulated fellow forumers to participate and contribute with beautiful photos, online information and open discussion.

so lets not grump, rather be greatfull for further cooperation with all of us who enjoy and frequent the aviation forums.

don´t you agree ? :)

No problem with that, you said it yourself its an open discussion. the way we reacted is not being grump but because the way he reacted regarding the supposed new airport plan seems that he knows truly the details of it. So that's why we asked... openness you say? hmmm... really? I wonder too... Anyway, let's end it... and back to the topic... peace everyone!!!:)

but they have 47 destinations..

assuming they airline company is serving daily flights to those destinations..still kulang pa rin..

[zoroethgenre_003]

unlike Philippine Airlines..they have 47 aircraft but they have only 42 destination..see the difference?

tama ka talaga. kaya mas well maintained ang planes ng PAL. even though medyo matanda na yung iba, there is really time for heavy maintenance check on their aircraft. at kung nasusunod ang maintenance schedules ng PAL planes, its virtually brand new.

[zoroethgenre_003]

i hope, Cebu Pacific can acquire new planes..this is to protect their fleet as well as their passengers..

[chuck23]

^^ Pero may order pa sila diba?

[xzibit31]

^^ Pero may order pa sila diba?

yup meron pa. pero as the new planes arrive, they keep on adding destinations and adding capacity on routes. sa pal naman, as the new planes arrive, they just increase capacity a small bit on high traffic routes and retain the same number of destinations.

so mas strained pa rin ang planes ng cebu pac kesa pal.

From: Commentary: President Arroyo delivers; Zamboanga City benefits from SONA - Philippine Information Agency's Website(http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=12&fi=p080725.htm&no=82&r=R09&y=09&mo=02)

Zamboanga Airport and Seaport Make-over Projects

A report coming from the Department of Transportation and Communication IX, thru the Presidential Management Staff IX, showed that Zamboanga City has been a recipient of the President's promise during her State of the Nation Address.

As a key city in the south, hundreds of millions of pesos were utilized to further improve the infrastructure facilities in the city.

As of June 15, 2008, a total of P301 million was released for the rehabilitation of Zamboanga City International Airport. P222 million was released by DOTC for the asphalt overlaying of the airport's runway. It is still 45.55% accomplished as the project has been suspended since April 19, 2008 due to the request of the Joint Special Task Force – Philippines signed by Lt.Col. Daniel Gard of United States Air Force for a temporary night runway operations to facilitate the completion of a local command and control exercise, and the semi-annual night flying requirements since April 20 to August 4 this year, awaiting the official concurrence from Western Mindanao Command Commander Lt. Gen. Nelson Allaga.

Aside from these, DOTC released P32 M for the rehabilitation of the existing terminal building, including the comfort room, construction of elevated water tank, and construction of terminal power house. P17 million was released for air navigational facilities, P6 million for purchase and installation of baggage conveyor system at the arrival area, and P25 million for feasibility studies, P16 million of which will be used for the feasibility study of the new Zamboanga International Airport, while P9 million is intended for the existing airport.

In July 28 of last year, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo personally laid the time capsule for the rehabilitation of Zamboanga International Airport, silencing her critics here in the city who thought that Zamboanga City is being neglected by the President for her failure to mention the city in her 2007 SONA.

President Arroyo acknowledges the vital role of Zamboanga City Airport as the gateway to the Brunei-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines – East Asia Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA) region and an improved airport facility is important to serve and spur development in the region.

As per report, the rehabilitation effort in Zamboanga International Airport is still on going and is on track to its completion.

Mayor Celso L. Lobregat has also downplayed the issue of the President not mentioning Zamboanga in her SONA as recipient of SONA projects and even announced that the national government has already lined up 3 projects worth billions of pesos. This includes the expansion of Zamboanga City Sea Port.

The port of Zamboanga is the busiest port in Mindanao and 3rd most utilized port in the Philippines as it is strategically located between the provinces of Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi and the mainland Mindanao serving as entry and exit point in Western Mindanao.

hoping the city government will maximize its whole effort in developing the city of zamboanga, living in a truly highly urbanized city, they should realise that following a master dev't plan is very necessary to zc's contnuous growth n dev't.

w/ the zc's lmited flatlands, the AEROPUERTO INTERNACIONALE DE LA CUIDAD de ZAMBOANGA (abbrev. as AICZ), should be relocated on the city's deserted islands...--- just like Mactan and Cebu connected.


islands such as the Tictapul or Sacol Islands (either of them) can be a perfect location for the city's airport. and bridge shalle be connected..

Dpat lumaban ang ZC, If Cebu can connect with Mactan ; Davao with Samal (SOON!) y not Zamboanga with Tictapul or Sacol Island?!

Sayang lang 3rd largest chartered city tyo sa buong Pinas, pero d naman na mamaximize ang potentials ng ating malawak na lupain... DESPERTA GOVIERNO dela CIUDAD de ZAMBOANGA!!

Dehado na tlga tayo..

w/ the zc's lmited flatlands, the AEROPUERTO INTERNACIONALE DE LA CUIDAD de ZAMBOANGA (abbrev. as AICZ), should be relocated on the city's deserted islands...--- just like Mactan and Cebu connected.


islands such as the Tictapul or Sacol Islands (either of them) can be a perfect location for the city's airport. and bridge shalle be connected..

Dpat lumaban ang ZC, If Cebu can connect with Mactan ; Davao with Samal (SOON!) y not Zamboanga with Tictapul or Sacol Island?!

Sayang lang 3rd largest chartered city tyo sa buong Pinas, pero d naman na mamaximize ang potentials ng ating malawak na lupain... DESPERTA GOVIERNO dela CIUDAD de ZAMBOANGA!!

Dehado na tlga tayo..

MEJORA PA ZAMBOANGA!!!

Godbless our land..


(hopin our city leaders are reading these... calling our representatives, mobe pronto!)

^^ Sobrang layo na po ang Tictapul para gawing airport dun..and mas ok na if sa Mercedes gagawin un airport kaysa sa Sacol. To much expenses na if gagawin pa to. hehe..

...Abante y Adelante Zamboanga!

(manada gale quien ta visita aqui na mga forums..hmm...man register ya tamen alli n share maga informacion de ustedes aserca di aton ciudad..:cheers:)

[XZVHEN 8©]

^^ How far is Sacol Island from pueblo?

30+ kilometers.

[habagatcentral1]

^^ Quite far, IMO. I think Mercedes is a better alternative.

[Noize_320]

^^ yeah, thats a lot longer than Cebu-Mactan and Davao-Samal IMO...

iba kasi ang case ng Cebu..Mactan is already a flourishing island ever since..Sacol on the other hand, is far at Mactan's status..U need first to develop the area to accomodate one of the most vital installations in the city..you must first improve the road network connecting it, not to mention you will still be building a bridge for you to connect to it..And lastly, you must improve the security in the island because you are making that area the entry point of Zamboanga..

@XVHEN - no hindi po aabot 40kms, sacol island is just off to taluksangay, mercedes, which is 15kms away.. pag may bridge going to Sacol, about a kilometer lng ang haba. kasi if 40kms long, abot na Sangali.

@ZORO - pwedeng-pwede xa. Let Sacol show what it takes to be a paradise haven.. napakaganda ng Sacol, try to search it sa googlearth. ang ganda. ang lawak ng lupain. Sacol is akin to Mactan Island, may mga white sand coastalines doon that can be good investment for resort haven. the WestminCom can relocate to that Island. even just the AirForce.. Just lyk Hawaii before... So, viable tlga xa to become the logistics and tourism haven..

pag Samal is known as IGACOS (Islang Garden city of Samal

ang Sacol naman, gawing Isla Clara (named after our beloved Maria Clara lobregat) --> calling calling mr.celso. u like it, don't u?! :p ;p @@,

i been to Sacol and Pangapuyan Islands..i agree its very beutiful..white sand beaches, beautiful corals, name it..

But do u want to ruin its beauty by putting the international airport there? Dont you think we should preserve the beuty of the island for the generations to come..

hopefully there's no current prove to open a new route from ZAM to KL nor in KK yet..it says on the Article News in Air Asia Website. they're going to use Thai AirAsia and Indonesia AirAsia, sometimes this year they're going to start new route destination in KL to Cebu...

if we're going to look the target of Asia would be in the Philippines to Thailand and Indonesia Destination base on the plane that they're going to use...:)

anong balita di2?...its already March 8...^^

[arianespace]

I just stated what happened to it in the previous pages.

By the way, I don't recall Sabah Air serving Zamboanga on regular scheduled flight from the time Grand Air roamed Davao and Cagayan de Oro skies or from any other dates. Because they never did. If they were I should have known. Visited, yes. Charter, maybe. I'm not sure about it. Regular service, Nil.

Only Philippine Airlines and Malaysia airlines previously served the route before South Phoenix Airways came. even Mindanao Express failed to launch the route. By the way, some people behind South Phoenix and Asian spirit that used to fly out of Zamboanga are my friends. Now you know. :)

nope the plane to ve used for ceb-zam is also the plane to be used for zam-dvo...

the route of the 72-seater plane is ceb-zam-dvo-zam-ceb.. :)


Special Flight lng ung last March 21. ang Airbus 319 last flight nila sa ZAM-CEB while on that time din nag start ang Daily flight ng ATR sa ZAM-CEB routes

[Chrisvenz]

yeah ung engine nya is located sa Tail ng Plane. i saw with my 2 eyes nah may Seair sign ang Plane~

that must be a Learjet. Walang ganun ang seair sa pag kakaalam ko. :)

[zoroethgenre_003]

nope the plane to ve used for ceb-zam is also the plane to be used for zam-dvo...

the route of the 72-seater plane is ceb-zam-dvo-zam-ceb.. :)

but, its alright..at least the frequency is daily..unlike if its Airbus that the frequency is 4x weekly..

[zoroethgenre_003]

according to the ticketing station..its on March 25..

[zoroethgenre_003]

yoko na ng CebPac ngaun..mas mahal pa sila sa PAL..i bought tickets yesterday..CebPac's fare for the April 1 flight is 5,600 while that of PAL is only 5,200..why is that?

[marlowe_cano]

according to the ticketing station..its on March 25..

CebPac's ceb-zam dail flight is already existing... while the zam-dvo will be increased or upgraded to once daily starting march25..

pero on the bad side, PAL's cebu/dvo to zambo v.v. have decreased their flight to 5x weekly... u can check their website at: http://www.philippineairlines.com/Images/Domestic_Summer_21Mar2009_tcm61-8141.pdf

You can still see them every now and then particularly during volatile situation. I remember after the siege by the MNLF of Cabatangan that the C-130 aircraft bringing in more troops was actually shielded by 2 huey helicopters for possible RPG attack during its final approach. The APC was at the gate and the airport deserted.

Boy in hand carry bag delays flight
by Nonong Santiago

A four year old boy was found inside a bag by the crew of a Cebu Pacific flight bound from Manila to Zamboanga City, yesterday at the Manila International Airport causing the flight to be delayed for several hours.

The boy, identified as Alhabshi Jalang was allegedly placed inside a hand carry bag by his father identified as Monhamir Jalang with the consent of the boy’s mother who was also with them. The three are residents of Sta. Barbara, this city

Initial reports reaching Zamboanga Today revealed that the parents along with the boy tired to board an earlier Cebu Pacific flight bound for Zamboanga. However, the ticket of the boy as presented by his parents at the ticket counter was found to be already expired as its departure date indicates February 26, 2009.

The three returned in the afternoon to the airport and this time, they were able to board Cebu Pacific flight 5J855 scheduled to leave Manila for Zamboanga City at 2:40 in the afternoon.

It was still unclear as of press time as to how the three managed to pass airport security and boarded the aircraft. While inside the plane, a flight attendant approached the parents of the boy and instructed them to put their hand carry bag in the compartment above their seats. The parents refused, thus prompting the attendant to request them to open their bag. Upon inspection, the flight attendants found the 4 year old boy inside the bag.

The flight attendants immediately reported the incident to the authorities and the parents, including the boy were placed under the custody of the Manila airport police for further investigation.

The other passengers of the plane started questioning how the bag passed airport security and safety concerns on board the aircraft have been raised. Cebu Pacific denied any lapse in security and assured the rest of the passengers that all the baggage on board the aircraft has been fully checked.

Authorities are still conducting further investigation on the case.

AirAsia keen on more landing rights in Philippines
20-01-2009: by Gan Yen Kuan

KUALA LUMPUR: AirAsia Bhd is working on securing more landing rights in the Philippines to expand its network in the republic, its group chief executive Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes said.

In particular, he said, the budget carrier was keen for both its associates — Indonesia AirAsia and Thai AirAsia — to fly to Cebu, Manila, Davao and Zamboanga in the Philippines next year.

“We are keen to open more points from Thailand into the Philippines, as well as from Jakarta. We are looking at Cebu right now, and we are very keen on going to Manila. We also really want to develop Zamboanga and Davao.

“(Our target) is next year for sure. We hope we get the rights. Getting rights is not easy,” he told reporters after the launching of the Asean Basketball League here yesterday.

Currently, AirAsia’s only destination in the Philippines is Clark, about 80km north of Manila, with daily flights out of Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu.

At yesterday’s event, Fernandes launched the Asean Basketball League (ABL), an initiative by South East Asian Basketball Association and several private investors to create a regional basketball league that will see the participation of professional teams owned and operated by private owners.

ABL will be hosted by cities in each Asean member country, with the first season scheduled to start in September this year and end in February 2010. Fernandes, who is the league’s chairman, and several other investors would provide the initial funding of some RM5 million.

“This (ABL) has got nothing to do with AirAsia and Tune group. It’s in my personal capacity. I’ve always loved sports,” Fernandes said.

Asked if AirAsia would be chosen as the exclusive carrier to transport ABL’s players and fans, he said: “It’s up to ABL to propose to AirAsia. Naturally, it makes sense for AirAsia. We can move fans around due to our strong connectivity in Asean.”

Bernama reported that AirAsia would launch a new route from Penang to Macau beginning March 1. There will be four direct flights a week from Penang and three a week from Macau. The minimum fare for a one-way trip is RM49 and tickets can be booked online from Jan 19 to 25, for travel between March 1 and Oct 24.

Sacol Island: The Ideal Location for Zamboanga International Airport

By: Zamboanga.com Editorial - May 16, 2003



The future expansion of Zamboanga City’s International Airport (ZIA) and Cargo Terminal should be established in the city-owned big Island of Sacol. Sacol Island is the most ideal and logical choice for the future expansion of the city’s international airport because of its location and isolation from the limited flatlands of the city proper.



click to view Zamboanga's Sacol Island MapBy locating and building the future airport in Sacol Island, the city will wisely and thankfully provide a blueprint for all future building expansion within the limited peninsula flatlands of Zamboanga City, allowing for desirable skyscrapers to be built and promoted without worries of whether the building’s height will be in the flight path of a nearby flatlands airport, as is currently suggested for Barrio Mercedes. City officials and residents like to envision their city as becoming the next Makati, Singapore, or Hong Kong of the Philippines, with their signature tall skyscrapers hugging valuable lowland and coastal real estate. Can this vision happen when the Barrio Mercedes airport location seriously prohibits that ideal picture?



The current airport expansion site plan being considered by the Mayor and the City Council will forever damage the expandability of Zamboanga’s ideal and logical growth expansion by allowing airport traffic and management to dictate where and how future investors and developers will build, and how high they can build.



This current airport expansion site is nothing but a roadwork to future economic disaster for Zamboanga’s increasingly limited flatland space! On the other hand, Sacol Island provides for the best location any airport can have, with its enormous land size and isolated sea water location.



Incredibly, Sacol Island has its own water source that can service all the needs of the future ideal site for the city’s international airport, and all the accompanying services a world-class airport provides such as: airport hotels and convention centers, cargo storage warehouses, office space for airport services, ground transportation infrastructure, parking garages for short or long term parking, aircraft maintenance and storage facilities, restaurants and concessions facilities, duty-free shopping for local and international goods, and an airport industrial / business park, to name a few.



Additionally, there can be consideration made for a separate runway built and dedicated to military aircraft traffic and its command post, which is currently being provided by Edward Andrews AFB (former Moret Field).



The Sacol Island location can provide the military a great facility as it expands its role of safekeeping for the city’s population and its role as economic and tourism gateway to western Mindanao, nearby Basilan Island, and beyond.



The rugged mountains and sea access of Sacol Island can be used as valuable training grounds for the military or local law enforcement services, and their permanent presence there will give the city government a pro-active frontline defense against historical terrorist and illegal smuggling activities in and around the city-owned island. The lives of the poor law-abiding island residents will be enhanced tremendously with the city's law enforcement intervention, and economic expansion from the international airport's construction and operation.



The country’s President is even contemplating relocating the Philippine Marine Corps’ Headquarters into Zamboanga City, along with its over 10,000 troops and their attachments. Sacol Island will provide the Philippine Marine Corps’ Headquarters a perfect home, and it could even be converted into their own "Hawaiian Island" paradise base with their own private white sand beach and hotel for family R&R vacations, similar to what the US military has in Fort DeRussy’s Armed Forces Recreation Center, Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii.



Imagine the beautiful tropical island location of Sacol with its diversely rich marine life (instead of its current congested and polluted location in Manila), encased in the exotic splendor of Chavacano culture to help the city allure this prospective vision? It cannot be a better choice for the Philippine Marines to make Sacol Island its future Headquarters and also its new Corps Training Center, with an excellent amphibious training capacity, in addition to its rugged terrain features. It can help the Philippine government bring peace and business expansion into Zamboanga City, and expand its role as business center of south-western Philippines.



The location of a new international airport in Sacol Island will help propel Zamboanga City into a future of proper growth and expansion, opening up the extremely profitable air passenger commerce of that region that is currently underutilized but sufficiently accommodated with vessel traffic, which exceeded over 5 million passengers in 2002 - more than any city metropolis in the country! The city’s new international airport in Sacol Island will firmly establish itself as the BIMP-EAGA gateway into the country.



A world-class bridge system will need to be constructed to link the island’s international airport facility with the city mainland at its shortest distance span near barrio Taluksangay, or wherever it may be deemed suitable according to the orientation and location of the runways and terminal, providing further growth of interconnected business services at the entrance to the airport’s bridge system.



A world-class golf-course could also be built within the island's airport location facing the Moro Gulf and the island's white-sandy beaches and nearby islands vista, providing international appeal to tourists and business travelers.



The natural beauty of Zamboanga City lies within the extensive bodies of water surrounding it's peninsula-tip location, bounded to the west by the Sulu Sea, to the east by the Moro Gulf, and to the south by the Basilan Strait and the Celebes Sea, with its many beautiful islands nearby, and ideal fast water taxies/ferries that can be brought into service to help ferry airport passengers and tourists quickly to downtown hotels/businesses or tourists sites and vice-versa, avoiding the congested city streets while shamelessly exposing travelers to the beautiful scenery of Zamboanga’s environs from the water. At its worst case scenario, the trip to and from downtown and many other busy locations along the Zamboanga Peninsula would be about 5 miles in distance at the most. You cannot find many international airports that can proclaim this type of close proximity to their core city or region of service, and best of all, with an incredible tropical waterfront view that is unlike anything else in the world: imagine lush, verdant green mountains towering as a backdrop, then layered with tropical trees, palms, and exotic flowers that would be lining up its backyard, with splashes of a few white-sandy mainland beaches about a mile away that are peppered with a conglomeration of colorful endemic vintas plying their native owner's wares and services, with world-class hotels aching to spoil you with local Zamboangueño hospitality and excellent accommodations, then in the distance in front of you an incomparable azure blue Moro Gulf waterfront vista unfolds, festooned with its necklace of dozens of tropical islands resplendent with their own unabashed ribbon of white-sandy beaches ( oh, with one significant anomaly: a rare pink sandy beach island ) with names that foster visions of the city's over three and a half centuries of existence, and this while just waiting for your plane to arrive inside one of the world-class designed airport terminal of Zamboanga International Airport in Sacol Island. What a glorious sight to behold.



Allow us, for comparison purpose only, to present to you what would be a similar project for the Sacol Island location of the future Zamboanga International Airport: Hong Kong's new Chep Lak Kok International Airport. It is located about 25 miles from downtown Hong Kong on an artificial island filled in with dirt from the leveling a mountain nearby. The city's previous Kai Tak airport became too congested and too dangerous from its island-city location close to property that was increasingly valuable, scarce, and populated, causing its relocation which in turn helped developers to build more city skyscrapers to accommodate the supply and demand phenomenon of Hong Kong real estate. Chep Lak Kok's isolated man-made island location surrounded by water is similar to our proposal for locating the future Zamboanga International Airport in the big natural Sacol Island. It is rare in any part of the world to find an ideal location such as Sacol Island to construct an international airport so close to a city and the region it will service, with all the built-in requirements to make it a success, along with all the many natural tropical splendors that just so happens to be naturally surrounding it. How lucky can a city get? We're not equating Zamboanga City to Hong Kong, but fast forward 10 or 20 years from now and you will be able to envision our proposition of location and amenities.



Another benefit to the Sacol Island airport location is the reduced health hazard it will provide its nearby mainland residents in the elimination of serious noise pollution caused by increased airline traffic. On the other hand, the Barrio Mercedes site will still cause serious noise pollution to the already populated Barrios nearby, and will continue to do so in the future. The city planners and officials need to respect their citizens health concerns and the Barrio Mercedes airport proposed site does not provide that.



Once the new Zamboanga International Airport and Cargo Terminal is completed in the big natural Sacol Island, many international flights will come into the Philippines through the Zamboanga Gateway. This will be an incredible boon to area business and tourism. Zamboanga's position as the busy ancient trading outpost in the South-Western Mindanao Island will be incredibly enhanced with modern capacity and infrastructure. It's position as the area's main gateway for the Brunei-Darussalam/Indonesia/Malaysia/Philippines (BIMP) international business growth region will be favorably established and expanded on due to its ideal proximity to the partner countries in BIMP and its location in the #1 growth area in the Philippines.



Ideally, hotel and beach resorts could be carefully and environmentally provided along the beautiful white-sand beaches of Sacol Island, and a wild-life preserve established to protect the island’s delicate mangrove or marshland ecosystem. Another local abundance that can be developed further is the Scuba Diving Tourism business that is practically non-existent in one of the world's most prolific underwater creatures and features location. The close proximity of the new ZIA's location to majority of the known and still unknown dive sites is a boon for the city. With this goal in mind, we propose that the Sacol Island site will provide the best transportation specific to scuba diving: Sea Planes! A Sea Plane landing runway can be cut unto the existing natural harbor on the South-East center of the island or just set aside for sea plane traffic. This Sea Plane Runway will be of course a long water channel, a "water runway" for the sea planes. Along this Sea Plane "water runway" and surrounding it nearby, would be the new hotels that will cater to this type of clientele, and other tourists who will be staying in the many resorts that will be located in Sacol Island. Sea Planes can easily drop off divers on or near the diving site's waterway. Zamboanga's proximity to the Sulu Sea, the Moro Gulf, the Basilan Straights, and the Sulu Archipelago waters straddling the Sulu Sea and the Moro Gulf, makes it the best destination place for Scuba divers everywhere who are coming into the Philippines to enjoy its very rich marine life and coral reefs. The new Zamboanga International Airport in Sacol Island will be an incredible draw for tourists who are specifically looking to do their dives first and will benefit greatly from the one-stop destination convenience it offers. Upon arrival in the new ZIA in Sacol Island, tourists can stay in nearby white-sandy beach front hotels and resorts, then can hop on to their chartered sea planes just minutes away in the Zamboanga Sea Plane Terminal located on a beautiful secluded tropical harbor and experience a short distance ride to many of the world's best dive sites! Arguably the best dive site in the world, the Tubbataha Reef Marine Park is only 200 nautical miles nearby on the Sulu Sea versus about 500 nautical miles from Manila, where most scuba diving tourists fly into to make their dive trip (or 98 nautical miles from Puerto Princessa in Palawan, which still requires about 350 nautical miles travel from Manila). That's a lot of trip-miles savings for the weary divers! They'd just as well come to Zamboanga and enjoy their dive vacation and have plenty of time and energy to spare for partying and enjoying in Zamboanga when they return. Besides, they will want to explore the city's very own local dive sites. The City-owned 28 beautiful islands offer a marvelous variety of experiences to the tourists from great snorkeling and diving with underwater vistas of exotic corals and marine life that lends to the city's title as the "Seafood Capital of the Philippines," to lazing or frolicking on colorful beaches that range in hue from pink, white, grey, sand, black and textured from powdered sandy to rocky, while being served a cornucopia of ancient Chavacano and Moro cultural feast that is unlike anywhere else in the world. What an incredible location and position to be in! Wow, Zamboanga!



It is unfortunate that the only way to dive in the Tubbataha Reef Marine Park is by live-aboard boats, mostly from Batangas, at the end of June to February. Batangas is about 400 nautical miles from Tubbataha Reef, double the distance from Zamboanga! Puerto Princessa in Palawan is another popular embarkation point to the reef and is closer at 98 nautical miles. However, we can't see why those dive tourists who can afford to pay for the luxury of time, can choose to fly to their dive spot by sea plane after the live-aboard boat has sailed ahead of them for the rendezvous! Why not? Time is precious, and time is money. They could easily loose a day or so traveling in those live-aboard boats and become weary and tired from the rough seas. They would rather spend their vacation time diving than traveling on live-aboard boats. It's called options. Some can afford it and others can't. If you offer it and the price is right, people will use it.



If the bottom line is what's preferred by the tourists, this live-aboard travel option can be a natural income stream for the ancient Zamboangueños who are more adept at live-aboard living than any people in the Philippines, or the world for that matter - the Badjaos! City officials can help introduce greatly needed employment development assistance for our fellow Zamboangueños, the Badjaos, the unsung heroes of the sea and one of the founding tribes of Zamboanga, in helping harness their expertise in live-aboard living and create a one-of-a-kind Zamboanga-ONLY experience for dive tourists to be chaperoned by real-life "Water World" people who are indigenous to the waters surrounding Zamboanga. Development funds would have to be secured by City leaders to embark on this Zamboanga-specific project to help promote the inherent job skills of the Badjaos and provide them with the tools and training to be duly educated and employed. The Badjao leaders will need to be partners in this empowerment project and their people promoted in this endeavor. The live-aboard boats will need to reflect a uniquely Zamboanga Badjao-design outlook with modern amenities that cater to the expectations of the dive tourists - or some. This Zamboanga-Badjao Live-Aboard Boats business concept could further develop a local industry of live-aboard boat building and can employ more Zamboangueños.



With careful consideration, planning, design, and management, the future Zamboanga International Airport in Sacol Island can be one of the most beautiful and effective airport facility in the Philippines, and possibly the world. Without proper vision, the city government’s decision on where to place the future airport expansion can be a death sentence to the expandability and livability of Zamboanga City.

The Sacol Island location for the city’s airport expansion is an ongoing research project by our staff for the benefit of our city government and its people, and we will provide updates as needed.





P. Princesa airport rehab, expansion project starts

Saturday, August 9, 2003 11:6:0 p.m

The rehabilitation and expansion of the Puerto Princesa City airport has taken off with the groundbreaking late last month, the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) said.

A consortium of international and local investors, meanwhile, is offering to construct a modern airport in Zamboanga City at a cost of P8.7 billion (US$158 million) under the build-operate-transfer (BOT) scheme.

DOTC Secretary Leandro R. Mendoza said that the Puerto Princesa airport is one of the six airports lined up for rehabilitation and upgrading under the Third Airports Development Project funded by the Asian Development Bank and the Export-Import Bank of the United States.

Once completed, Mendoza said, the project would complement the “strong republic nautical highway” of the Arroyo administration, further strengthening and broadening the country’s air, sea and land transportation network.

DOTC assistant secretary Robert Castañares, representing Mendoza during the July 24 groundbreaking, opened the first phase of the airport-improvement plan, which involves the replacement and construction of military facilities that would be dislocated by the expansion project.

Castañares explained that since the expansion of the Puerto Princesa airport would encroach on existing military facilities, the affected military facilities would be replaced first before the actual construction starts.

The Third Airports Development Project involves the development of two trunk-line airports, those of Puerto Princesa and Cotabato, and the upgrading of four other smaller airports (Dipolog, Sanga-Sanga, Butuan and Pagadian).

Castañares presided over the ground-breaking ceremony, assisted by Palawan Gov. Joel T. Reyes, Puerto Princesa Mayor Edward S. Hagedorn, Air Force vice commander Maj. Gen. Apolonio D. Ugale Jr. and Armed Forces wescom commander Brig. Gen. Edwin Galzote.

The consortium of investors from Germany, France, Japan, Guam and the Philippines presented the offer to build the modern Zamboanga Airport to the Air Transportation Office (ATO).

The proposal was also unveiled by Dr. Muss Ballaho, president of Asia Pol Development Corp. (APDC), and Louie Lucban, manager of Siemens Phils., to the investors and stockholders during a meeting in Zamboanga City last week, where APDC and Siemens are part of the consortium.

Under the proposal, the airport will be constructed in one of the barangays at the eastern coast of Zamboanga to make it also accessible through the Zamboanga-Pagadian Highway to the nearby provinces like Zamboanga Sibugay, Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga del Norte.

In a press statement, Ballaho said the construction of the new airport would take three (3) years, and that the company proposes to operate the airport for 15 years after its completion.

The proposed airport will be constructed on a 400-hectare area and will have a 3,440-meter-long runway. It would be bigger than the airports in Cebu, Kuala Lumpur, Australia and Singapore.

With the new airport in operation, there are about 16 international airlines expected to fly between this city and its neighboring foreign countries, per Civil Aeronautic Board approval, Ballaho said.

He said the exact area for the proposed airport has already been identified but that the Mayor’s Office, ATO, Regional Development Council (RDC) and the corporation’s representative had agreed to keep it under wraps to prevent an unnecessary increase in land value in the area.

He said that the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), ATO and RDC has expressed preference for his group’s offer, claiming that it meets all the necessary requirements, particularly funding.

NEDA and APDC has worked together to facilitate the necessary endorsement of the project proposal to the RDC, while the DOTC had appropriately acted upon it through the letters of Secretary Mendoza, Ballaho said. With Bong Garcia Jr.

Looks like Zamboanga City will get competition for peninsula air traffic.

Philippines to get new international airport

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Philippines - Construction of the P6 billion (US$109 million) international airport in Misamis Oriental, Philippines, will start in March next year, said Vicente Emano, the city’s mayor.

Emano said biddings for prospective contractors of the multi-million dollar airport is scheduled for December and the winning bid will be announced in February.

The Eximbank of South Korea has released an initial amount US$17 million for the conduct of the final feasibility studies and payments of some unpaid lots within the airport site. The bank along with Samsung Electronics have agreed to finance the international airport, which is expected to be completed in 2008.

When completed, the international airport will serve as a gateway to various economic growth areas in North Mindanao, extending to Surigao provinces in the northeastern corridor and to Zamboanga Peninsula in the western coast.

What else is Sacol Island good for, besides the future ZIA?

4. PHILIPPINES

4.1 Pilot integrated small-scale fisheries development projects in selected localities

(b) Sacol island, Zamboanga City

Sacol island is an extensive shallow sea area of mangrove and coral reefs located east of Zamboanga City centre:, Mindanao. The surrounding waters abound with fish, corals and seaweeds.

The island can be a very suitable site for pilot small-scale fisheries development project with seaweed culture as the major activity. It has extensive suitable grounds where the two main economic species of the carageenan seaweed can be cultured. These are Eucheuma striatum (cottoni) and E. spinosum. Improved techniques of Eucheuma culture initially demonstrated by Marine Colloids, Inc. (American firm) in

this island and now taken over as a demonstration station by the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources are readily available to private cultivators. The seaweed is widely used as food in this island and can also be brought to the Zamboanga City markets.

Culture techniques have been developed so that large quantities of seaweeds can be produced in the area. The fluctuating behaviour in prices as well as demand for the product has discouraged the local producers which consist of small-scale fishermen and their families. In order for seaweed small-scale venture to succeed in the area, handling, quality control, storage and marketing of the product should be properly managed; overproduction must be prevented and the marketing channels established for the benefit of producers and avoid the operation of unscrupulous middlemen.

Other areas in the small islands near Zamboanga City can also be identified as suitable sites for mussel and oyster culture. Cage or pen culture of high market value marine finfish is another possibility in the area, considering that Zamboanga City can serve as good local market. These later activities can serve as expansion of the initial seaweed pilot project at Sacol island.

what's ur comment? :D

This is old news as even shown by the date. I'll really be glad to hear any new and actual information either for Sacol, Tictauan islands or Mercedes.

yes i know. but i just wanna stress out that moving ZIA to Mercedes is wrong, Sacol is the best choice... :)

Actually, for me, it would be better if it will be at Mercedes.

When the time comes when we will have Metro Zamboanga, and both the east coast and west coast are already developed, therefore it would be best if ZIA will be trasnfered to Sacol City. Metro Zamboanga East Expressway will be directly connected to a viaduct leading to the Cable Stayed Hermosa Bridge towards Sacol City:lol::nuts:

Construction and rehabilitation works on the Zamboanga City Airport is estimated to cost P428.5 million and the P478.05-million Dipolog City Airport expected to be finished in October, the report said.

In the Dipolog City Airport, the shore protection project the widening and asphalt overlay of its runway were completed.

The extension of its runway was 46.37-percent complete, according to the Medco report.

The contract for the rehabilitation works for its terminal building was bidded out last March 26, while the purchase and installation of meteorological instruments are now being worked out.

The Korean Economic Development Cooperation Fund, the South Korean Export-Import Bank and the Nordic Investment Bank of Germany have funded the airport project.

The total cost for the the Mindanao airport development projects was estimated at P10.65 billion.

Sacol island is not a good choice for the location of New ZIA. To think it might be turned into white elephant, just like the NAIA 3

the sarimanok-inspired design for future airport architectural design should be considered, as it has become the trademark of Zamboanga Airport, as evidenced by the present terminal. Thus, it should be retained.

[marlowe_cano]

hope that the national government realize that all airports nationwide, both local and international, should be upgraded to a more eye-catching, tourist-thriving domestic and international airports. At present, the LCC terminals in our ASEAN neighboring countries are far more better than the numerous provincial airports all over the country. As these airports are very significant and are the reflections on how serious and driven our national government in developing our country forward, instead of downward, much worse stagnated.
