Old Tagbilaran City Airportbecomes a venuefor PGBh big events
The Tagbilaran City Airport operations had been terminated last November 28, 2018, following the opening of
the Bohol Panglao International Airport on the same date has become the venue or center of the different activities
of the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh).
Since the previous administration, the holdings of the Ubi Festivals, Tabo and Sandugo Agri-Fairs, among others
have been conducted at the Old City Airport in Tagbilaran City.

dooms for shelter to protect against the heat of the sun and rain.
