Solution: Develop the tourism industry to attract people to come to our region especially foreigner and those from visayas and luzon!

pati strengthen the business climate of our city...

Kahit gawin pa nilang palasyo ang airport kung wala sila pupuntahan dito sa GENSAN... WALA...

correct! GENSAN has really the potentials when it comes to tourism industry... mindanao na mindanao ang dating.. can't wait to convert Sarangani Island into so-called "Boracay of the South..." It's a matter of implementation na lng, GENSAN needs the work, coz it has what it takes 2 be!

I think Gen San Airport is the largest airport in Mindanao as seen on google earth. Government can even construct 4 parallel runways up to 7 kilometers in length.


Is this airport build by Americans or DOTC?

They also want to use the airport for free in landing and take-off for their military aircraft

Clark's primary runway is also pure concrete without asphalt overlay same as Gen San. Halos parehas ang standard nila coz both were build by the Americans. Parehas pa silang may Chevron on both ends of runways which is made up of asphalt

Rajah Buayan Air Base

Rajah Buayan Air Base was one of the Philippine Air Force's newest facilities in 2009. It was also one of its most southerly bases. The base has a single 5,577 foot by 98 foot runway. (Coordinates: 6o6'20.002 N, 121o14'2.000 E)

Rajah Buayan Air Base occupies what once was the region's only major airport, General Santos Airport. In 1996, the Philippines finished construction of a second, larger civilian airport, approximately 9 miles to the west. It was financed with $50 million in US aid and was known both as General Santos International Airport and Tambler Airport. After it opened, the old General Santos Airport was shut down and shifted to military use, being renamed Rajah Buayan Air Base.
