✈️ NAIA’s New Terminal 4 to Open by Mid-2026!

Big changes are coming to Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA). The old Terminal 4 — which served domestic turboprop flights since 1948 — has been demolished due to safety issues.

In its place, a brand-new Terminal 4 is being built at the former cargo area and is set to open by mid-2026.

✅ Expected to house domestic carriers like AirAsia PH and Cebu Pacific
✅ Designed to ease NAIA’s overcrowding (which handled 51M passengers in 2024 — way beyond capacity!)
✅ Part of a ₱123.5B modernization plan that also includes a future Terminal 5
✅ Frees up space for a new taxiway to improve aircraft flow between Terminals 1, 2, and 3

This means smoother flights, better passenger experience, and a big step toward a more modern airport for the Philippines. 🇵🇭

When your Google maps turns pre-colonial. 🙃

Baybayin also known as Alibata is a Philippine script widely used primarily in Luzon during the 16th and 17th Centuries.

Other regions in the Philippines used its own script like Badlit in Visayas, Tagbanwa in Palawan, and Jawi script in some parts of Mindanao.

The “flood control tunnel” in Bonifacio Global City (BGC) is actually an underground retarding basin or detention tank located beneath Burgos Circle. This critical infrastructure is designed to temporarily store excess rainwater during heavy downpours, helping prevent flooding in surrounding areas. Once rainfall subsides, the stored water is gradually released into nearby creeks and eventually into Manila Bay.

Capacity
The basin can hold up to 22,000 cubic meters of water,equivalent to around eight Olympic-sized swimming pools.

Function
Acting as a giant reservoir, it collects and regulates stormwater, easing pressure on BGC’s drainage system.

Impact
This innovation has significantly reduced flooding in nearby areas such as EDSA and Kalayaan Avenue.

Future Potential
Its success has prompted discussions on replicating similar systems across Metro Manila as a sustainable solution to urban flooding.

Hidden from public view beneath one of BGC’s most iconic landmarks, the retarding basin is a prime example of modern urban planning at work.
