i was in Cebu Int'l Airport one time, we had to make a long queue because there was only one person in the booth.
the department of tourism has not been very aggressive in promoting our country. and the domestic problem discourages many tourists to come to our place.
for me, the redundancy of international airport is not a long time problem. it's a long time solution. pardon if this analogy will not suit for this argument. the marcoses built those huge hospitals in Manila, Phil Heart Center, Lung Cancer of the Phils, and National Kidney Inst. with so many people dying of poverty and hunger. but now, these hospitals have served their purpose.
I agree to your opinion glaz, in order for us to move forward as a strong and prosperous nation, we should believe the good intention of our leaders in the gov't. just like the Japanese who revered their leaders very much because that what their leaders felt from their constituents. In our case, Filipinos seems entangled in prophetic curse and disdain for their leader and our leader's behave so.
Back to the bridge project, surely, the gov't. has done its homework in considering its impact the cause and benefits to social, environmental, economic, and political once the project will be realized.
And this kind of mega project is not just intended only for this generation, but for the second generation or third generation of Filipinos. Of course, we will not be there anymore but we may be spared from the blame because we did not prepare our projects for them (and it should be the way). Look at the monstrous traffic daily in the metropolis, that's happening because the past leaders did not consider our time.
So, the Panglao International Airport and Cebu-Bohol Friendship Bridge has a long term benefits impact projects
