In February 2017, San Miguel Corporation proposed the construction of an airport with two parallel 3.5 km-long runways under a BOT scheme. This would be later reversed by the succeeding administration, which expressed interest in developing multiple airports for the Greater Manila Area. However, the Aquino administration rejected the unsolicited proposals, stating that they "spark controversies" that detract from the "open, transparent bidding" they intended for the project. Meanwhile, competing proposals from San Miguel Corporation headed by Ramon Ang and the All-Asia Resources and Reclamation Corporation (ARRC) venture headed by Henry Sy were submitted to the national government by 2013.

JICA later recommended the construction of a new airport in the vicinity of Sangley Point, Cavite City and conducted a full feasibility study.

In May 2011, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) submitted to the Philippine government a study concerning air transport needs within the Greater Manila Area, which concluded that the development of a new gateway airport was "an urgent need" given that the runway capacity at the existing Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) was "already almost saturated." In response, the government adopted a dual airport system in May 2013, which entailed the upgrade of the facilities at Ninoy Aquino International Airport while also expanding capacity at Clark International Airport. See also: List of airports in the Greater Manila Area § Proposed new Manila airportĪs early as the 1980s, there has been recognition of the constraints to expanding Manila (later renamed Ninoy Aquino) International Airport's capacity and its continued ability to handle the projected growth in aircraft movements and passenger traffic. The groundbreaking of the new airport began on October 14, 2020, and the actual construction of the first phase of construction on the project, which includes two runways and the terminal buildings, of the new airport began on 18 March 2022, and is planned to be finished by 2026. The ₱735.634-billion airport development will cover the passenger terminal building with airside and landside facilities as well as an airport toll road and railway.
The proposed airport will be built on a 2,500-hectare (6,200-acre) coastal property as part of an envisioned 12,000-hectare (30,000-acre) township that features a residential zone, government center, seaport and an industrial zone. The airport is a part of the flagship " Build! Build! Build!" infrastructure program of the Rodrigo Duterte administration. The project was proposed by the San Miguel Corporation (SMC) and is set to help decongest Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), the main entry and exit point to the capital for air travelers.
New Manila International Airport ( Filipino: Bagong Paliparang Pandaigdig ng Maynila), also known as Bulacan International Airport, is an international airport under construction on the coastal areas of Bulakan, Bulacan, 35 km (22 mi) north of the capital Manila.
