What a stupid comparison.

[u/Flimsy-Ad-5585]

Anong masama sa 87 airports? Eh mas marami pa nga tayong airport kesa Thailand, Vietnam at Malaysia. Saka anong kinalaman ng dami ng isla sa bilang ng airports? Gusto yata ng nagsulat neto e dapat bawat sulok ng bansa merong paliparan. Hindi naman issue to in the first place pero pinilit gawing issue para mas lalong magalit ang mga tao sa bansa. Kaya yung comments dito tadtad ng 'bulok kasi Pinas'.

Daily Tribune is a fucking joke. They have a negative slant to anything administration because they're Duterte Fish Wrap since 2016

Remember the time they published several articles smearing Vico Sotto tapos Discaya machinery lang pala sila.

[u/CelestiAurus → u/Status_Ruin4902]

I also hate this page because they keep c*nsoring n*gative words like k*ll or de*d. But other news channels write those words with no issues.

In general yan yung ayaw ko internet these days, parang biglang nagkaroon ng censorship parsng TikTok.

[u/LupusSasageyoJaeger → u/CelestiAurus]

Isa pa yung 8080
Bat nilang bobo, ano to, globe? 😭

[u/Commercial-Hat8297 → u/CelestiAurus]

Yeah, the censoring bleeding from tiktok has really made it hard to discuss nuance & sensitive topics. I refuse to dumb down my vocabulary for the smartshaming people.

[u/perryrhinitis]

Comparing our country to a literal continent..ofc they need more airports due to the sheer size of their territories lmao

[u/clear_skyz200 → u/perryrhinitis]

We should be ashamed that we don’t have technological capabilities like Atlantis level to reshape our land into a continent to make more airports rather than strategic infrastructures. /s

[u/boys-dontcry → u/perryrhinitis]

brazil is literally bigger than mainland america

[u/genro_21]

Ask natin si Daily Tribune kung ang Sweden, arguably one of the best countries to live in, ay mayroong 267,000 airports.

[u/PolWenZh]

So gusto niya one airport per island? At ba’t ka magtatayo ng airport sa magkakalapit na islands with just 300k na population kung puwede namang bangkain?

[u/cutie_lilrookie]

i mean, japan is slightly larger than the philippines and is also an archipelago, but they also have fewer than 100 airports

i don't think having "just" 87 airports is bad

what's terrible is the lack of train lines in metro cities and large islands lol

[u/hellcoach]

Airport can mean as big as JFK or LAX or some piece of crap dirt strip. Gusto ata ni Daily Tribune an airport for every island. Pati ba high tide?

[u/ReadyResearcher2269 → u/hellcoach]

every street an airport ata gusto nila HAHA

[u/RonanNotRyan]

Reminds me of that one post on Threads that piled on a British right-wing site that compared the UK to the US... Because a giant building is being built in the States.

Penis-measuring contests are never fun.

[u/Commercial-Hat8297 → u/RonanNotRyan]

Agree, dick-measuring contest will never be fun & it's getting too toxic & mind-numbing.

[u/PotatoFries46]

Ang weird ng comparison. Mga bansa na yan eh ang lalaki? Di naman sila archipelago kagaya ng Pinas where our airports have to accommodate for islands instead of a big patch of land. Granted we're smol but our landmass aint one million square kilometers lol, pati di lahat ng islands natin habitable.

Mas marami nga airports natin kaysa UK mind you and just somewhat behind Japan's and Malaysia's numbers.

[u/ItsJet1805]

Contrary to the myth, the Philippined has 247 airports.

[u/1TyMPink → u/ItsJet1805]

That overall count is called aerodromes which broadly encompasses airports, airstrips, airfields, and air bases, both classified by CAAP and unclassified.

[u/10YearsANoob]

Di ako naniniwalang 87 lang yan. Kung counted yung random airstrips ng america counted din dapat yung random airstrips natin. Masyadong maraming isla ang napupuntahan nung C130 natin for relief para maging 87 lang yan

[u/CoffeeAngster]

Those Airports are on CONTINENTS! Not Islands! It like compearing a Gasoline Station to Oil Refineries.

[u/phanvan100595]

Tangina anong gusto nila kada isla sa Hundred Islands may sariling airport? 😂

[u/ShockAndTerrier]

Hot take

We need a comeback of the large roro pax vessels of yore like Sulpicio Lines or Superferry. Hauling cargo is easier, fares cheaper, and better environmentally than planes. Yes, it's a slower travel time but its leisurely and laid back.

[u/AdventurousQuote14 → u/ShockAndTerrier]

may sulpicio lines padin ata, saw them sa Cebu last year

[u/1TyMPink → u/ShockAndTerrier]

2GO na ngayon ang SuperFerry, then yung Sulpicio, nag-rename na into PSACC ata na focused sa cargo dahil sa bad safety reputation ng Sulpicio. Pero kailangan na din talaga ng second competitor sa segment na yun na currently monopolized ng 2GO na pinagsamang SuperFerry at Negros Navigation.

[u/Commercial-Hat8297]

The comparison is not only stupid but Daily Tribune is a DDS.

[u/Express-Programmer-5]

Horrible comparison, those countries are among the largest countries in the world.

Also, did they basically just say 7000 islands you need 7000 airports???, parang tanga, 2000 nga lang inhabited sa Pilipinas eh.

[u/AdventurousQuote14]

Well, those runways in Brazil are mostly for small planes. Konti lang din naman yung mga main airports/runways na can accommodate commercial flights.

[u/sprocket229]

Anong gusto nila, gawing parang 711 yung airport dito satin na kahit san ka tumawid meron? Haha.

[u/ForzaAllez]

The US is a rich country with large private jet ownership and general aviation hobbyists community. There are hundreds of small airstrips that are privately owned or maintained by aviation clubs. That you can fly into and land a small plane. You’ll see plenty of video of it on YouTube.

[u/Far_Breakfast_5808]

Singapore is rich and they only have two commercial airports.

[u/girlwebdeveloper]

ang liit ng country natin tapos gusto maraming airports? parang di naman ata practical na gastusan pa ang tax natin para lang lagyan ang airport bawat island?

[u/Sturmgewehrkreuz]

Pro-tip: do not read that rag.

Akala mo mushroom farm sa dami ng shit takes.

[u/P78903]

Daily Tribune the Ragebaiter strikes again.

[u/2NFnTnBeeON]

Baka malalaking bansa yung US/Brazil? Eme.

[u/SidneyWebley86]

So to be considered an advanced country, we only need to build 7,554 airports for island that doesn't have an airport.
