PRRD Confident Tugade Will Meet November deadline for Sangley Airport

Wazzup Pilipinas!

President Rodrigo Duterte is confident that Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade will meet the November deadline for the augmented operationalization of Sangley Airport in Cavite.

The President expressed this in his speech at the 121st Philippine Navy founding anniversary celebration at Sangley Point, following his inspection of the construction progress of Sangley Airport yesterday, 17 June 2019.

"Art is a worker. He has built beautiful airports all around the country. Arthur was a valedictorian at the College of Law. Magaling talaga 'yan. He will do it with your [Philippine Navy’s] help," President Duterte said.

Aboard a coaster, the President, together with Secretary Tugade, inspected the completed asphalt overlay of the runway, and the ongoing construction of the Passenger Terminal Building (PTB), the improved drainage system, and the hangars.

President Duterte was accompanied at the inspection by Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, Presidential Spokesperson Salvador Panelo, Senator-elect Christopher ‘Bong’ Go, AFP Chief of Staff Gen. Benjamin Madrigal Jr., DOTr Usec. for Finance Garry de Guzman, Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Director General Jim Sydiongco, and DOTr Asec. for Procurement and Project Implementation Giovanni Lopez.

"Nagpapasalamat tayo sa tiwala ng ating mahal na Pangulo. Hindi natin siya bibiguin o ang ating air-riding passengers. Oras na matapos ang pagtatayo ng mga dagdag na pasilidad dito sa Sangley, makakatulong ito sa pagde-decongest ng NAIA,” Tugade said.

On 13 June 2019, Tugade ordered for the construction of additional facilities at Sangley Airport to be accelerated to 24/7 for the gateway to commence general aviation and turboprop operations by November of this year.

This move is seen as one among several in “a basket of solutions” to help decongest the four terminals of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) which, in recent years, have seen a significant increase in passenger and flight volume.

Tugade, in a meeting with aviation and military officials before the inspection with President Duterte, told project contractor Unimasters Conglomeration, Inc. Managing Director Shann Chan to make good on their word that they will finish all construction before the November deadline.

“Ang sabi natin ay 24/7, hindi 24/6 o ano pa man. Sisiguraduhin nating matatapos natin on time o mas maaga pa sa deadline,” Secretary Tugade emphasized.

Wazzup Pilipinas!

It’s been naturally soothing sensitive skin since 1743. Originating as pure rain mixed with sea –

spray rich in mineral salts, Avène Thermal Spring Water makes its 50-year journey through the Cévennes Mountains in Avène, France to do wonderful things to skin.

On its journey, the spring water gradually becomes infused with trace elements and silicates, and comes in contact with an ancient microorganism called Aqua Dolomiae, which was first identified by Avène in 2001. This remarkable biological property combined with the well-known mineral properties of Avène Thermal Spring Water ensures gentleness and tolerance, creating a unique skin healer that does not exist anywhere else in the world.

Over 150 stringent biological, pharmacological and clinical studies have clearly demonstrated the soothing, softening and calming benefits of Avène Thermal Spring Water.

Manufactured for world markets by Avène France, Avène Thermal Spring Water is available in the Philippines and reflects the company’s dedication to protecting Humankind and the environment. This one-of-a-kind product comes in a spray bottle covered with a hermetic, tamper-proof seal that preserves the Thermal Spring Water under sterile conditions throughout its use, thus preserving its soothing and anti-irritating properties, fresh from its source.

Avène Thermal Spring Water can be used as a fresher-upper, to heal or sooth sensitive or irritated skin or to set make-up. Spray it on the face after cleansing, during travel, after sports activities, after sun exposure, and to soothe allergic reactions and skin redness. Also spray it on diaper rash, or on scrapes and wounds to heal them fast. It makes a good after-shave spray for men as well.

With each spray, the Water is released completely intact, pure and clear, as if it is being drawn directly from the spring. Recommended for all types of skin, especially sensitive skin, it can fit neatly in a bag or purse and be used anytime, anywhere. The spring water has been effectively relieving skin conditions for more than two and a half centuries now.
