SAN JOSÉ MINDORO - AIRPORT - GENERAL![]() The McGuire Airstrip which was abandoned by the Allied Forces in 1945 was converted into a commercial airport by the government. (Now called San José Airport) Since the airport is located in San Roque, a concrete road from the center of San Jose to the runway was constructed by the national government. In addition, the road at the center of the barrio and other parts of the place was made concrete by the late Congressman Pedro Mendiola, Sr. Through the efforts of the late Congressman Pedro Medalla. Sr., the wooden bridge over Pandurucan River was replaced with a concrete one, in 1967. The bridge hastened the economic growth of San Roque. The city center can be reached by tricycle from the airport - about 5 kilometers. PAL Express and Cebu Pacific Airlines have daily flights to/from Manila. The flight time is about 45 minutes. There are several banks that have ATMs. Metrobank (Sikatuna St.) and PNB (Philippine National Bank) - (Corner Quirino and M.H. del Pilar Streets) change travellers cheques.
