TACLOBAN CITY — Mayor Alfred Romualdez of this city has lauded the ongoing modernization of the Daniel Z. Romualdez (DZR) Airport, a project that will elevate the facility to international standards by 2026.

“As a highly urbanized city and gateway to Eastern Visayas, it is good news that our DZR Airport will achieve international status,” Romualdez said in a Jan. 10 statement.

Data released by the BSP on Tuesday showed the public sector’s foreign borrowings from July to September this year went up by 36 percent from the $2.81 billion in the same period last year.
