simang na man ning estoryaha. if you did read about the article about scrapping the roro projects and keep an open mind, klaro ato nga ang airport is to entice tourists and give them convenience nga moadto sa Panglao and not for Pinoys who visit their relatives. Panglao is envisioned to be bigger than Boracay, imagine the economic gains ana nga mapunta sa Bohol.
and who says other means of transportation will be ban in Panglao once the airport is there? kung movisit ka sa imong relative sa Panglao pugson gyud diay kag pasakay sa eroplano?
