Cebu Rep. Pablo John Garcia issued this clarification to rectify a local newspaper report that the airport will be renamed as Lapu-Lapu International Airport following the approval on third reading of House Bill No. 8986.
Garcia explained that the facility will be called as it is as the bill merely seeks to name the domestic and international terminals of the airport as Lapu-Lapu Domestic Terminal and Lapu-Lapu International Terminal.
He further explained that this is a substitute bill following a compromise brokered by House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco and House Committee on Transportation Chairman Samar Rep. Edgar Sarmiento between the proponents, led by Rep. Paz Radaza of Lapu-Lapu City, and the opponents of the bill, led by Garcia.

House Resolution No. 1536 was adopted by the House Committees on Health and Information and Communications Technology after a joint hearing on March 9.
Filed by House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco, the measure calls for a single contact tracing protocol “for a more effective health emergency data monitoring system”.
“Disparate apps and non centralized repository leads to redundant products, cost duplication and less effective solution,” Velasco said in the resolution.
“There is a need for the modification of existing systems and the development of new user-friendly data interfaces to manage multiple data streams with seamless interoperability,” he added.
