The Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority on Thursday announced that domestic flights of the Cebu Pacific Air and Cebgo will be transferred to Terminal 1 (T1), citing the need to manage the significant increase in passenger traffic.

In a statement, Edilyth Maribojoc, communications officer for GMR Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation’s corporate affairs and branding, said the new location for servicing of Cebu Pacific and Cebgo flights will take effect on June 16.

The airport management, she said, decided to transfer the flight servicing as MCIA “experiences a significant traffic growth, with domestic demand now at 52 percent of pre-pandemic levels”.

In 2019, at its peak, MCIA saw a daily average of 25,743 domestic passengers.

Maribojoc said Cebu Pacific Air and Cebgo flights departing before 23:59 of June 15 will still depart from T2.

“All other domestic departures, such as Philippine Airlines/PAL Express, AirAsia, and AirSwift, will continue in T2 until further notice,” she noted.

The City of Sipalay in Negros Occidental has been declared the Kite Tourism Capital of the Philippines during the staging of its 8th Burangoy Kite Festival over the weekend.

The plaque, which was conferred by the Kite Association of the Philippines (KAP) headed by its president Orlando Onkingko, was turned over by Supervising Tourism Officer Jerick Lacson to Mayor Maria Gina Lizares at the Government Center on Monday.

“The KAP confers to the City of Sipalay the title ‘Kite Tourism Capital of the Philippines’ in grateful recognition for the enduring commitment in promoting the traditional Filipino kite culture as an annual tourism activity,” the plaque dated March 31, 2022 read.

The declaration is an affirmation of the city’s efforts in promoting sustainable tourism by showcasing the kite festival as a family-friendly activity, kite flying as an eco-friendly sport, and kite making as a venue to promote local arts and culture.

“Most importantly, the kite itself is our symbol of hope to soar high and recover from the impacts of the Covid-19 (coronavirus disease) pandemic and Typhoon Odette,” he said.

Lacson added that the latest recognition received by the city serves as a challenge for stakeholders “to strive, to innovate, to be better, and to improve” Sipalay’s image and quality as a tourist destination.

This year’s Burangoy Kite Festival, which was among the activities alongside the city’s 21st Charter Anniversary, was the first after it was suspended for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The kite flying exhibitions were conducted from March 30 to April 3 while the actual competition was held on March 31 at the Poblacion beach.

For the second time, the festival showcased colorful and unique kites made of various materials except for plastic in support of the local government’s “no plastic policy”.

The annual Sipalay kite festival is the grand winner in the Best Tourism Event (Sports) City Category of the 2018 Pearl Awards organized by the Association of Tourism Officers of the Philippines and the Department of Tourism.

Its official name “Burangoy” was coined from the words “burador” or kite, and “barongoy”, a local term for flying fish.

Sipalay, officially the City of Sipalay, is a 4th class component city in the province of Negros Occidental, Philippines.
