CATICLAN AIRPORT MANAGER RESIGNS
Godofredo P. Ramos Airport general manager Bong Tirol has announced his resignation amid speculations that he is running for public office.
Tirol said his decision to step down was in consultation with San Miguel Corp., which develops the airport.
Irma Mendiola, the deputy general manager, has temporarily taken over the airport management.
In a press conference Tuesday, Tirol said speculations on the possibility that he will join politics had been around for years.
“[But] right now, I could not comment on the said speculations since 2016 is still far,” he said.
He said Gov. Florencio Miraflores and Rep. Teodorico Haresco were his “close relatives.”
It was learned that the business community in Boracay had been encouraging Tirol to run for public office.
Tirol managed the Godofredo P. Ramos Airport, more commonly known as Caticlan Airport, in Barangay Caticlan, Malay, Aklan for four years.
There were no reported major incidents at the airport during Tirol’s term.
“My secret is I managed the airport as a hotel,” he said. “I think my experience in managing hotels came out naturally while managing the airport.”
Tirol will now serve as a director of government affairs of Shangrila Hotel Boracay.
He said he also plans to organize a series of community projects in Malay.
San Miguel Corp. will appoint the next full-fledged general manager of the airport.
The airport, while small, is one of the busiest airports in the country, accommodating local and foreign tourists bound for Boracay.
San Miguel Corp. is currently developing it based on international standards, with an initial allocation of P2.5 billion./

Boracay priest thanks Aquino
A “downpour of blessings” happened in this island, thanks to the administration of President Benigno Aquino III, a parish priest here said.
The Aquino administration, especially the President himself, has helped a lot in boosting tourism here, said Fr. Arnaldo Crisostomo of the Most Holy Rosary Parish in Barangay Balabag.
Crisostomo said the Aquino administration “had been largely instrumental in the arrest of the suspect in the killing of Ati spokesman Dexter Condez.”
Police collared Daniel Celestino, a security guard of a hotel here, in Barangay Palasan, Sta. Cruz, Laguna on March 5.
The Philippine National Police is under the Department of Interior and Local Government under Secretary Mar Roxas.
“The President, with the help of his sister, Viel, has also helped a lot in the establishment of the Ati village in Boracay,” said Crisostomo.
He said the Ati community in the island now live peacefully with the 24/7 protection that the local police provide.
Just this year, the indigenous peoples here were provided a certificate of ancestral domain title.
Also, the Department of Tourism and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources were grateful for Aquino’s executive order ensuring environmental sustainability here./
