lets just wait and see which is which when april comes

The more dates, the merrier. Imagine having three opening dates at the same month? (just joking). There's an inconsistency of posting dates here. I've noticed it as well. Maybe it all depends on writers or papers. Officially, they never released any proper date. We'll just go for PIA then, which is April 12th.

brilliant night shots. How about pictures of test flights ongoing in the new Iloilo Airport?

ditto. We have so many residential developments lately. Subdivisions are sprouting every corners of Iloilo City and its neighbouring municipalities. I think ny residential development will be located within MIG areas sans Iloilo City. Iloilo City is too crowded already for additional subdivisions. The city of 70sq km housed to more than 500,000 is too much considering that it is the most densely populated outside Metro Manila area. Unless it's a condo-type development, better relocate subdivisions outside the city perimeter by now.

Ganda talaga !

The Mandurriao Airport thread turns into Nabitasan Development. Anyhow, Nabitasan development looks very promising. Tutal nag-strt na guid man ang constructions dira, medyo hulat-hulat lang ta diutay kung ano pa guid ang mga development nga matabo.

Reminder guys: April 24 is the bidding. Will they annouce the winning bid a day after or it'll take months for study pa?

thanks to daks2003

obviously the commercial lots are bigger and situated along the main road

i would love to the GREEN lined up with smallville-boardwalk style restos while the BROWN yung "boardwalk" talaga like what they have abroad syempre plus they should somewhat landscape that part of the river

a flyover over diversion road from this part of should also be put into consideration.

could somebody tell me what are those lots in yellow dots? i'm still trying to update myself of developments in iloilo since i'm quite lost already. seems so many good things happening lately in iloilo

Wecky, have a good look:

Five big property developers
interested in ‘old’ airport site
By DAVID ISRAEL SINAY

ILOILO City – Five big property developers are interested to buy the 54-hectare Iloilo airport in Mandurriao district here.

Mayor Jerry Treñas said the five already secured bidding documents – Robinsons Land Corporation, SM Prime Holdings, Rockwell, Megaworld (Empire East), and Filinvest Land Inc. – from the Department of Finance (DOF).

“These are very serious bidders,” Treñas said.

No Iloilo-based investor expressed interest to acquire the property, the mayor added.

Treñas also said Finance Undersecretary for Privatization John Philip Sevilla, who chairs the bids and awards committee, told him that the bidders want to align their possible business ventures in the area to the programs of the city government.

Treñas said he encourages the bidders to develop the property into a theme park, put up a convention center, establish a hospital, and set up an information technology park for business process outsourcing.

Treñas hopes that the theme park, like the Enchanted Kingdom and Star City, will draw more tourists to the metropolis.

The mayor also envisions a 5,000-seater convention center in the metropolis. He dreams of making the city a “convention center” of the country. Presently, Treñas said, Iloilo City has no facility that could accommodate such number of people in a convention.

“They can also establish hospitals accredited with medical insurance abroad,” he said.

Also, with the fast growing business process outsourcing industry, Treñas said putting up an IT (information technology) park would encourage more call centers to invest in this city.

Several call center companies have expressed interest to invest here but the lack of facilities is holding them back, the mayor explained.

Last Wednesday, Treñas met with top officials of Robinsons Land Corporation.
The city mayor will be meeting with key officials of Megaworld today.

The government is closing the Mandurriao airport property when the new airport that sits on a 188-hectare land area in the municipalities of Sta. Barbara, Cabatuan and San Miguel opens next month.

Treñas hopes Ayala Land and airline companies, Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines, that also expressed interest in the property, shall participate in the bidding.

The DOF will know the actual level of interest of the property on March 27, the deadline for buying of bid documents and for submission of pre-qualification requirements and comments to transaction documents.

According to the mayor, the DOF will notify eligible bidders on April 3, release the final transaction documents on April 10, schedule the actual bidding on April 24, issue the notice of award on May 9, and close the transaction on May 24.

During his visit to Iloilo for the pre-bidding conference, Sevilla said the government would require all bidders to deposit a bond of P150 million.

The winning bidder will pay 25 percent of the bid price as down payment and settle the balance within one year, Sevilla added.

The winning bid will be approved by the Privatization Council comprising the Departments of Finance, Trade and Industry, Budget and Management, Justice and the National Economic Development Authority.

Also, the winning bidder would have to take care of squatters numbering to about 300 households occupying the property.

Sevilla said the national government is expecting a revenue of between P500 million and P2.5 billion on the property privatization of the existing Iloilo Airport.

It's official, Ayala Land is not joining the bidding of the old Mandurriao Airport site.

[daks2003]

Guess who they commissioned to do the test flight.






GOTCHA!!!!!!! HEHEHE lapit na lang!

[IMPRESARIO]

OMG! OMG! photoshopped Concorde! you got me there,lol, parang British Airways pa yung logo ah! cool!

[wecky]

that's right - British Airways Concorde. Thought all Concordes operated by BA are in museum right now. I never knew that one of them escaped and have their test flight in the new Iloilo Airport ! Very nice photoshop @daks !

[wecky]

@kirby: I've posted my response in Iloilo Infra Thread and Iloilo Thread already. Cheers mate.

[totopurz]

FYI, during the RDC orientation the other week, Mr. Java (airport manager) mentioned that SM City is negotiating for an area near the airport.

[wecky]

most likely. They want to expand their empire in Iloilo @totopurz. Imagine another area for development by SM? Actually, SM City has 18 hectares lot in Diversion connected to the old Iloilo Airport. That means, if they'll come out as a winning bidder this April, SM area will be increased from 18 hectares to 72 hectares (54-has courtesy of old Mandurriao Airport). A very good and ideal size for more developments by a single developer.
