Alaminos airport to bring more investments for Pangasinan, says city mayor
By Danny O Sagun
 
Dagupan City (29 January 2010) ? "Hindi kami nakikipag-contest," an ecstatic Alaminos City Mayor Hernani Braganza clarified Thursday in reference to the airport project which is about to rise in that city which hosts the famous Hundred Islands after three years of waiting.
 
Braganza urged all Pangasineses to fully support the project stressing that it benefits not only his city but the entire province. "Huwag na nating pulitikahin ito, mapag-iiwanan na tayo at buong probinsya ang kawawa, hindi kaming mga pulitiko," he told the KBP Forum at the Philippine Information Agency. He was apparently irked by the intense lobbying of other municipalities for the hosting of the project, with Sta. Barbara as the more aggressive.
 
He recalled that he had proposed the project to President Macapagal-Arroyo during her meeting with Pangasinan local officials in Baguio City sometime in December 2006. In 2007, the President included the airport project in her State of the Nation Address.
 
Describing it as a "trigger project," Braganza sounded confident that more businessmen, investors and tourists will be coming once the facility is put in place. "Buong Pangasinan ang makikinabang dyan, hindi lang Alaminos," he pointed out. "Ni hindi ko na pakikinabangan yan during my term," he said noting that the project implementation will take at least three years. Braganza is running for his third term in the May elections.
 
While smaller provinces have one to two airports, ironically Pangasinan, whose population and land area dwarf the other provinces in the Ilocos Region and also nearby provinces, has no major facilities like an airport or seaport. "Natutuwa nga ako kung maraming airport, kung puwede lahat ng bayan para marami tayong solar dryers," he said in jest.
 
The city is now on the process of purchasing lands at the project site in barangay Sabangan, which is located east of the city proper and some seven kilometers away from Sual town. Technically the area is unproductive and was considered the most feasible for an airport from among the eight sites earlier eyed in the province, he said.
 
Initially it will operate as a domestic airport with a budget of P2.2 billion but it is upgradable to an international airport, he added.
 
The mayor disclosed that the city government is now preparing facilities for the expected arrival of more visitors, tourists and businessmen in the years ahead. A hotel that can accommodate up to 200 persons is being constructed at the old PTA Resort in barangay Lucap, with two more hotels being built by the private sector, he bared.
 
With prohibitive costs of lands now in the city proper, Braganza said that the move now is to decongest the area by developing business centers away from the poblacion. The running price of lots now in the poblacion is up to P55,000 which, he said, turns away prospective businessmen and investors.
 
He admitted though that his city and even bigger cities like Dagupan does not have big facilities enough to accommodate visitors and conventioneers. He said he dreamed of a big convention center and a hotel that can accommodate a big number of people in just one area. "Ang alam ko, ang mga hotel dito sa Dagupan kayang i-accommodate ang 2,000 na katao pero walang isang facility na kayang kargahin ang 500 na tao," he noted.
 
From 82,000 tourists and visitors when he became mayor some five years ago, the number went up to 150,000. "Kahit na mahigpit ang kumpetisyon sa ibang lugar tulad sa south, meron silang Tagaytay at Laguna Bay," he said.
