SP supports direct Davao-Tagb. Flight
In
a bid to boost tourism industry by providing easy access to visitors particularly
Boholanos, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan has approved a Resolution supporting the
move of Davao City asking the airplane companies to establish direct flights between
this capital city and Davao City.
The
SP found merit of Davao City's approved Resolution No. 0768-08, requesting Philippine
Airlines, Cebu Pacific and Asian Spirit to explore the possibility of establishing
direct flights between Dvao City and Tagbilaran City, Bohol, said Vice-Gov. Julius
Caesar Herrera after the approval of SP measure.
Gov.
Erico Aumentado, who was in receipt of the said Davao City Resolution, stressed
the direct air travel "will definitely be to our mutual and equal advantage,
as it will further promote tourism and investment in our places."

Davao City officials
said that it's the city's policy to promote the City as a tourism, investment
and trade destination, hence, it is needed that it has to have a direct transportation
links with other cities and countries.
The
Resolution recognizes that Davao and Bohol share the same thing because both are
the country's prime tourist destinations, visited by both foreigners and locals
alike.
"Davao
City and its neighboring provinces are home to hundreds of thousands of residents
tracing their roots to Bohol, who travel on a regular basis, particularly to attend
town fiestas, family homecoming and to transact business." |
The SP
Resolution was adopted en masse during the regular session on June 10, 2008 presided
over by Herrera, the Chronicle learned.
DAvao
City Resolution was signed by Vice-Mayor Sara Z. Duterte, daughter of Mayor Rodrigo
Duterte and approved by 24 city councilors as certified by Zuleika T. Lopez, secretary
to the Sangguniang Panlungsod of Davao City. (RVO) |
