REPORTS of malfunctioning air-conditioning and other concerns in the facilities of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) and other airports in the country are set to be looked into by the Senate.
Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri said he will file a resolution “within the next few days” to launch a public inquiry and find out who must be held accountable over the breakdown of airport facilities.
On March 27, the NAIA Terminal 2 experienced a three-hour and 16-minute limited power supply due to a series of power fluctuations.
According to the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), the power fluctuations affected the air handling units at the departure area.
Apart from NAIA, Zubiri also cited the Laguindingan International Airport in Misamis Oriental which he described as “very messy” and resembling a public market.
“An inquiry and a report from the Department of Transportation to the Senate on why Cagayan de Oro Airport has not been transferred yet to the private sector consortium which has been awarded six months ago. Same with the breakdown of the facilities in the NAIA. Kailangan magpaliwanag sila sa taumbayan,” Zubiri said. (PNA)
