Memorandum Order No. 210, issued on April 10, 2006, amends Memorandum Order No. 178-A, which established the Panglao Tourism Special Infrastructure Program (PTSIP) with the Panglao Airport as its key project. It reaffirms the Manila International Airport Authority's (MIAA) role in overseeing international airports in the Philippines and allows for MIAA to fund the Panglao International Airport Development Project (PIADP). The amendment specifically alters Section 6 to ensure the regular release of funding from various government departments as outlined in the General Appropriations Act. Additionally, any conflicting directives are repealed or modified, and the order takes immediate effect.
