Former Transportation Secretary Arthur Tugade must be invited to the Senate's investigation into the supposed power outage that caused flight disruptions at the Ninoy Aquino Airport on January 1, Senator Jinggoy Estrada said Tuesday.
"Siguro we also have to invite former Secretary Tugade to shed light on it. Kung talagang ginastos niya sa ibang paraan. Pero what I heard from the [former] secretary, I think he already gave a statement, na hindi niya ginastos 'yung P13 billion sa iba’t ibang gastusin," he said in a virtual interview.Hundreds of flights and thousands of passengers were affected by a power outage at the Philippine Air Traffic Management Center on Sunday.
Once the system was reconnected to the power supply, however, warnings were released at around lunch time due to over voltage as 380 volts were coming in instead of 220 volts. This then affected the very small aperture terminal , which also had to be addressed.
