NAGA CITY — A skyway project will soon rise in Libmanan town, Camarines Sur in preparation for the implementation of a plan by the national government to build a new International airport in the province.

Observers said that the place is ideal because people coming from Samar and Leyte in the south, and Quezon province in the north would have easy access to the airport.

Negotiation for the skyway project is now on-going, and the work is expected to start this year.

Sources said the skyway, which is almost a kilometer long, will pass through Bungad island alongside the Bicol River and extend to San Miguel Bay and the municipality of Canaman which is a few kilometers from this city.

Many Bicolanos are in favor of having the new airport constructed in Camarines Sur because of the danger posed by volcanic ashfalls in Albay when eruption occurs.

The ash falls of Mayon Volcanao is a threat to aircraft and air travelers during take-off and landing.

The flagship projects of Congressman Dato Macapagal Arroyo (1st district, Camarines Sur) include the rehabilitation with asphalt overlay of Andaya Highway with total length of more or less 97 kilometers starting from the Quezon-Tagkawayan boundary to Tara in Sipocot this province. An amount of R500 million for the repair work has already been set for release, according to the central office of the Department of Public Works and Highways.

All the infrastructure facilities here, when finished, will greatly boost the development of Camarines Sur and the region. It will also help create employment.

Likewise, air travel to other places in Asia will be much easier.

At present, several new first-class hotels, rural and commercial banks are already cropping up in this city.

The development of first-class subdivisions is complemented by the opening of new shopping centers, like the E Mall, Avenue Square, Olivan Home Depot, LCC, and SM.
