Lago de Oro Wakepark Hotel Helipad

Economic reasons. The helipad was not an independent entity but an amenity for the Lago de Oro Wakepark Hotel. The hotel closed down due to business challenges, making the helipad obsolete. Its closure was a direct consequence of its parent establishment ceasing operations, not due to military conversion, a specific accident, or regulatory action.

The site is abandoned and derelict. The physical concrete helipad still exists on the property, but it is unmaintained and unusable for aviation. The entire Lago de Oro Wakepark Hotel complex, including the wakepark, hotel buildings, and grounds, is closed, in a state of disrepair, and overgrown. The property is not accessible to the public.

The facility was a private helipad, not a public airport. Its significance is tied to the Lago de Oro resort, which was the first cable wakepark in the Philippines. The helipad's operations were limited to private helicopter flights, primarily used for transporting VIP guests, hotel owners, or affluent tourists directly from Manila and other nearby areas, allowing them to bypass road travel. It catered to a high-end clientele and symbolized the exclusivity of the resort during its peak. The ICAO identifier 'PH-0067' is an unofficial code, likely assigned by flight simulator scenery designers or aviation database hobbyists, and is not recognized by official civil aviation authorities.

There are no known official plans or prospects for reopening the helipad. Any future use is entirely contingent on the potential sale and complete renovation of the entire Lago de Oro resort by new investors. A significant capital investment would be required to restore the hotel and its facilities, including the helipad. As of now, its future remains uncertain, and it is considered a permanently defunct facility.
