SAN FERNANDO CITY, La Union — President Arroyo led yesterday the groundbreaking of a P5- billion tourism complex project inside the Poro Point Special Economic and Freeport Zone (PPSEFZ).


The project, which is being implemented by Thunderbird Pilipinas Hotel and Resort Inc., a subsidiary of the US-based Thunderbird Resorts Inc., will lead off with the construction of a luxury hotel and a world-class nine-hole golf course intended to put the former US military air station at the world map of major tourist and recreation destinations.
