LINGAYEN, Pangasinan: President Rodrigo Duterte wants an international airport to rise in Lingayen, Pangasinan, before his term ends in 2022, according to Department of Transportation (DoTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade.

"I already have the instruction from the President and also the budget for that and before the end of [his] term [next year], there should be and there must be a commercial [and international] airport in Lingayen," Tugade said in English and Filipino during a meeting on June 12, 2021, with provincial officials of Pangasinan led by Gov. Amado Espino 3rd..

The planned international airport will actually emerge from the existing airport in Lingayen, the provincial capital, that has been undergoing renovation.

The "commitment of the DoTr is to make the runway longer from 900 meters to 1.5 kilometers and to widen it from 30 to 40 meters," Tugade told Espino and the other Pangasinan leaders.

Tugade cited the President's mandate "to provide people with connectivity, so their lives and businesses will be more comfortable and convenient."

After the meeting, he inspected the Pangasinan Port Cluster Development projects in Barangay Pangapisan and Barangay Capandan, both in Lingayen.

"Let's help each other. Let's make it enjoyable and beneficial to the community," Tugade also told the governor during the inspection of the projects.
