The strength and resolve amid various challenges have enabled the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) to complete airport projects across the country under the administration of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte, Transportation Secretary Art Tugade said on Friday, 04 March 2022.Secretary Tugade said the CAAP, along with the Department of Transportation (DOTr) Aviation Sector, had endured challenges, criticisms, and doubts through commitment, passion, and love for the people.

These hardships, according to Secretary Tugade, motivated the CAAP to work harder to deliver the mandate of President Rodrigo Duterte.

“When I heard the song coupled with pictures that accompanied the song, napaluha ako. Pagkat nakita ko ‘yung damdamin, yung pakikisama, commitment at passion ng CAAP. Na kung saan nakipag-isa sila sa akin upang magawa at magawa ‘yung mga katungkulan na minandate sa atin ng ating mahal na Pangulo – make the Filipino life convenient and comfortable,” Secretary Tugade’s emotional message during CAAP’s 14th anniversary celebration on Friday.

“Nilalabanan natin ‘yung mga kutsa, agam agam. Nilalabanan natin ‘yung bagyo. Nilalabanan natin ‘yung tinatawag na earthquake, kung anupamang challenges. But we have strength. We have resolve because we never felt alone,” Secretary Tugade added.

Since the start of the Duterte administration in 2016 and amid the COVID-19 pandemic for the past two years, CAAP and the rest of the DOTr Aviation Sector had completed a total of 243 airport projects nationwide. Of this number, 169 airport projects in 55 airports were completed by CAAP throughout the country as of February 2022.

Secretary Tugade commended the CAAP, led by Director General Jim Sydiongco for the ongoing works for the completion of additional transformational airport projects, facilities, and infrastructures across the country.

“Lahat kayo magagaling, matatalino, inspirado, committed, passionate. Nakita ko kung papano kayo maglingkod,” Secretary Tugade stressed.

On the other hand, DG Sydiongco pointed out that the accomplishments in the DOTr Aviation Sector over the past five years would not have been possible without the support of Secretary Tugade and the hardworking personnel of CAAP and the DOTr.

“I’d like to thank Secretary Tugade, Sec. Art, for giving me your trust and confidence and being an ever-bright beacon of light to bring us back right on track,” DG Sydiongco said.
