    The DOT should work closely with DOTC, DPWH to enable the tourists to fly straight to Palawan, Bohol and Camsur. also Ilocos (it’s beautiful there with Pagudpud and Vigan). There should be no need to pass by Manila. we can easily get a million more if we do this. DPWH is needed to ensure good roads going to the tourist spots.
