Mlang Airport

A P100 million domestic airport is soon to rise at Municipality of Mlang in the Province of North Cotabato. It was about 6 years ago that I have heard about this news, I could not believe my ears when I heard about this, I was excited for this new development in my province. However, due to the economic slowdown today, I felt that its not what the province needs as of the moment. Airlines could be thinking twice or thrice before flying in the province because of safety reasons, low tourism receipts and the province is more likely an agricultural land. There are still roads that needs to be built to the farms, more classrooms is what we need and instead of an airport I think what the government should  build is a new hospital to replace the old and aging Cotabato Provincial Hospital that will soon be a fully tertiary Medical center. 

Yeah, airport is a great project but there is more possibility that the project will be stagnant. We have so many nonfunctional airports or airstrips in the country and money is wasted. If you build a new hospital, many poor will benefit from it, many lives will be saved and more healthcare jobs too.
