New Manila International Airport Runway Delayed to 2028

San Miguel Corporation's New Manila International Airport in Bulacan has seen its first-runway target pushed back to 2028 after a sand shortage stalled land reclamation.

San Miguel Corp confirmed in August 2024 that completion of the New Manila International Airport in Bulacan would slip to 2028, mainly because of difficulty sourcing sand for backfill^[3]
The suspension of Manila Bay reclamation projects limited sand access; project cost is Php740 billion ($13.15 billion)^[3]
SMC also expected MRT Line 7 in Bulacan to be delayed to 2028 over the alignment of the San Jose del Monte Station^[3]
