Clark stakeholders to intensify calls to liberalize aviation policy

Business and political stakeholders in Clark and Subic signed today a collective manifesto calling on President Arroyo to sign Executive Order 500-B, which intends to effect a pocket open skies policy at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA). This is the second time the stakeholders are collectively sending their sentiments to the president. In 2007, they also wrote a letter to president Arroyo, but did not make this public. Clark Investors and Locators Association (CILA) president Jeannie Ng, a signatory, told abs-cbnNEWS.com/Newsbreak that they need to intensify calls for the liberalization of aviation policy in Clark as E.O. 500-B is awaiting the President's signature. Ng said they will not allow other parties who oppose the liberalization to have their way. » FULL STORY
