Bicol International Airport (November 2009)

The Bicol Region will get its own international airport that promises to spur and accelerate the region’s economic development. Despite its vast natural resources including mineral deposits, geothermal power and tourism potentials, Bicol has remained among the poorest regions of the country today.

The Bicol International Airport (BIA) will be built at a 200-hectare plateau in Barangay Alobo, which is easily accessible to other provinces of Bicol, such as Camarines Sur, Sorsogon, Masbate and Catanduanes as well as provinces in Eastern Visayas through the Matnog port in Sorsogon.

The BIA easily qualifies as one of the biggest and most ambitious government projects in the Bicol Region to date, with prospects of even greater returns on investment that is certain to spur the region’s economy and thrust its tourism industry to the international stage.
