LAPU-LAPU CITY, Philippines — The GMR-Megawide Cebu Airport Corporation (GMCAC) has officially opened its Airport Bazaar: Yuletide Edition at the Terminal 1 of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA).

Librodo said that this is not the first time that the airport has opened a bazaar inside the facility.

“So like we want this to make it a regular, an annual thing already no. So it’s like we want it to be a tradition here in the airport and we want the airport to like, you know, festive, because it’s the Christmas season,” Librodo said.
