US envoy describes Clark development as ‘tremendous’

CLARK FREEPORT, Pampanga, June 20 (PNA) -- American Amassador Harry K. Thomas saw tremendous economic developments at Clark Airbase which he said will create opportunities for international business in the near future.

Thomas expressed his observation on Clark during his first time visit at the Clark International Airport to inspect the ongoing construction of the P580-million expansion project of the first terminal of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport here.

In an interview with local newsmen here, Thomas said “We are very, very pleased to be here. Ang Amerika at Pilipinas ay matalik na magkaibigan."

"We have heard about Clark Air Base in America and we know that this was the premier air base which was used during the American occupation and after World War II,” he added.

The US Ambassador also said the United States is very pleased to witness the progress that they were able to make of Clark, their largest air base outside America.

Thomas added he is very proud of the collaboration of USAID and Asia Foundation to support and anchor the success of the projects being done at DMIA.

In the same interview, Thomas also uttered his visions about the potentials of the Philippines to becoming a modern country in the near future.

He said he knows of foreign investors who saw the system of the DMIA, how it looks and how efficient it has functioned since it started operating.

Investors have observed that the airport is free from corruption and is very transparent.

Moreover, Thomas himself said he thinks that the airport is making a great contribution to the Philippines and they felt honored to be given the chance to be at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport.

Thomas showed his satisfaction throughout the entire scrutiny of the DMIA, saying that he was extremely impressed by the development at DMIA.

He said he views it as a first rate airport and an airport with tremendous potential for development in the future.

He also promised that Clark should expect to welcome a lot of international business to come in the Philippines due to the transparency and corruption-free system at Clark.

On another note, Thomas said, “The United States congress have given $ 200 million for assistance to Filipino veterans of World War II and we have spent $ 188 million from all of that. And we continue to provide assistance to them.”

Ang ibig mong sabihin ang Lexus Hotel ay yaong under construction sa tapat ng Orchid Hotel.

Yung malapit sa Marquee Mall ay parang wala pang constructions doon..... mga earth works pa lang doon sa malapit sa gilid ng City Hall.

haha it's just a small bridge after batis asul sa manila north road. 2 lanes lang kasi sya, ngayon irereplace sya dahil 6 lanes na yata ang manila north road, nagiging bottleneck kasi sya... kaya lang 6 months nila gagawin, e wala man atang 10 meters ung bridge na un e. I mean, if you come now to angeles city (as in old angeles) grabe ang paralysis ng traffic. :'( dagdag mo pa ung maling traffic lights na kinabit ni mayor.

ay naku nico tamang tama ang sinabi mo. Kung sasakay ka ng chkpoint hiway sa may Cathedral at pupunta ka ng SM Clark or balibago, aabutin ka ng 3 oras. Yun namang mga jeep na pupuntang villa, andun lahat sila sa harapan ng Jenra. Halos hindi umuusad ang traffic.
