Commentaries

CAAP and the government should not just shrug off their shoulder and take the Jan 1st NAIA incident disdainfully as if the situation is normal and not unusual. Aside from a possible aeronautics catastrophe, there's the problem of passengers having to deal with delayed or canceled flights, problems of rebooking and rerouting, problems on who will shoulder their hotel accommodations, their food, and how about the sardine-packed airports looking like a makeshift refugee camp?

And not to be forgotten are the international flights having to refuel or have stopovers in Manila ...  this is a big blow to  our tourism industry which already experienced severe beatings brought about by Covid.
