SunStar CEBU. The Cebu Mactan International Airport. (SunStar File) + IT WILL still be named Mactan Cebu International Airport. Representative Pablo John Garcia (Cebu, Third District) clarified this after news items in some local dailies claimed that House Bill 8986, approved on third reading before Congress went on recess on March 18, seeks to rename the airport to Lapulapu International Airport. Garcia said the bill merely seeks to name the domestic and international terminals of the airport to Lapulapu Domestic Terminal and Lapulapu International Terminal, while retaining the name Mactan Cebu International Airport for the entire facility itself. He added that this is a substitute bill following a compromise brokered by Speaker Lord Allan Velasco and Committee on Transportation Chairman Representative Edgar Sarmiento (Samar, 1st District) between the proponents, led by Representative Paz Radaza of Lapulapu City, and the opponents of the bill, led by Garcia.
