Given the fact that Alphonsinas "airport" is under water twice daily,
that government approval is interesting.

I'm not sure where that number comes from. In my experience it floods
for at most 3-4 hours per week.
The gov't has foced many recent changes at Alphoninas including new
signage and separation from the nearby road. Even though its one of the
few airports without locally based military they do come by at least
once a day to verify paperwork of all aircraft.

In the US private airports don't have nearly the same aviation safety
inspections or approvals.
