Construction of the New Manila International Airport in Bulacan

San Miguel Corporation President and COO Ramon Ang confirms the construction of the New Manila International Airport in Bulacan will begin by October:

“At tayo naman sa San Miguel, tuluy-tuloy ang ating investment to build infrastructure projects. In fact, nakuha na namin ‘yung approval or review ng DOJ [Department of Justice] doon sa Bulacan Airport. At ‘yung Bulacan Airport, tinitingnan lang namin ‘yung araw for the signing of the financial closure with the financer banks. So tuloy na rin ‘yan within the next two to three months, ‘yung Bulacan Airport, groundbreaking na rin,” Ang says.

He described the project as a "game-changer" for tourism — with an expected 30 million tourists flying in — as well as for the economy of Central Luzon.

The main goal is to decongest the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, which has been the main entry and exit point to Manila for air travelers.

The planned international gateway will feature four runways and can accommodate up to 200 million passengers per year.
