Nearly wiped out by the super typhoon, the Tacloban airport was repaired and restored to normal operations since then. According to Romualdez, the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) during the PNoy administration supposedly allocated P800 million to undertake the Tacloban airport rehabilitation project. Romualdez disclosed he would author an administration bill for President Duterte to ask for a supplemental budget that will include the Tacloban airport rehabilitation project. This represents the amount of government infrastructure projects nationwide that suffered cuts when President Duterte vetoed the congressional insertions identified by their Senate counterparts that delayed the approval into law the 2019 budget. Pushing for supplemental budget for the President and his fellow congressmen, Romualdez is hitting two birds with one stone.
