Major business organizations appealed to the Office of the Ombudsman to review its decision to dismiss Cesar Chiong and Irene Montalbo from their Manila International Airport Authority posts, saying these officials implemented the mission entrusted to them by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to upgrade the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to global standards.
According to reports, the Office of the Ombudsman, in a 21-page decision on August 4, ordered the dismissal of Chiong and Montalbo for alleged grave abuse of authority and misconduct. Furthermore, nearly 800 airport personnel have rallied behind Chiong and Montalbo by signing a manifesto, saying “only now have they experienced transparent and honest management in the agency.”
Moreover, the groups said, “They reported an impressive income of P1.9 billion in 2022, a striking turnaround from the combined losses of P3.6 billion suffered in 2020 and 2021.” Dismissing Chiong and Montalbo for implementing what is a normal management practice may discourage other officials from employing this important tool to improve efficiency and fight corruption, the groups said.
