En route to Camalig after checking out from our hotel, we passed by the old airport in Legazpi City. This was closed after the new airport in nearby Daraga became operational.

Legazpi and the Bicol region needed a new gateway after the old one could not be expanded. Add to that the fact that the runway configuration and location was compromised by nearby Mayon Volcano. The Bicol International Airport in Daraga is a modern gateway for a region deserving such infrastructure.
