Caticlan (MPH) is closest but has no lights- daytime clear weather landings with turboprop craft only. Roxas City is next closest but has only an 1800 m runway, not sure that is enough. Iloilo is next, has a longer 2500 m runway.

The next day some aircraft were still diverting; they all seemed to go to MNL (3700m) or CEB (3300m), both within 50 min flight time.
