NAIA name change timely
It is time to correct and change the name of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), the country’s national airport.
This was announced yesterday by Deputy Speaker and 3rd District Negros Oriental Rep. Arnie Teves. He will file a bill at the opening of the 19th Congress to correct the name of the NAIA, formerly Manila International Airport (MIA).
“Dapat na po natin itama ang pangalan ng ating international airport. Akin po na ihahayag ang dapat na maging bagong pangalan nito sa sandaling ma-i-sumite ko na ito (House Bill),” said Teves who again won as Congressman in his district.
“Kasabay po ng aking pag-sumite ay hinihiling ko rin ang suporta ng aking mga mahuhusay na kapwa mambabatas upang agarang maaprubahan at maisabatas ito,” he added.
Duterte Youth Partylist Group Rep. Ducielle Marie Cardema previously pushed to restore the NAIA to its former name MIA based on its filed House Bill 10833.
The airport is named after Senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino Jr., who was assassinated at the airport on 21 August 1983. It is managed by the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), an attached agency of the Department of Transportation (DOTr).
