Senate Finance committee chairman Juan Edgardo Angara said the Department of Budget and Management should include the airport’s budget when they for inclusion in the proposed General Appropriations Act to be submitted to Malacanang.For her part, Senate public services committee chairperson Grace Poe said an extra P1- billion was necessary to provide backup power to the airports.
In seeking the complete checkup of the NAIA, Recto cited the eight-hour power outage that struck facility last, May 1, causing the delay or cancelation of dozens of flights. “Even if this light bulb moment had come too late, after the airport had been hit with electrical crashes, it should be treated as an urgent request. Everytime the NAIA is hit with a blackout, the nation gets a black eye,” Recto stressed.“Since the MIAA is a corporation, it need not seek appropriation authorization from Congress,” Recto noted.
