| Officials
to push for Negros Occidental and Bacolod City officials last night agreed to open the New Bacolod Silay Airport in Barangay Bagtic, Silay City, in November after the McKinley access road is completed, and to push for three other roads leading to it. During a visit to the new airport Friday, the president said it could be opened already but there was some debate on when to do it coming from Bacolod, so she was leaving it to the local officials to decide among themselves when the opening should be. She, however,
aired her preference for a November opening. | |||
