Manila
International Airport Terminals
…their
stink and Management’s Irresponsibility
By Apolinario Villalobos
Again, the spokesperson of Manila’s airport
authority mumbled alibis for their inability to come up to the international
standards of airports. Instead of being thankful for comments that should be
their basis for improvement, they condemn the commenting party, a travel buff
that knows what he is doing, in view of comparisons. It is the fault of the
Manila airport authority for promising comfort and convenience that did not
materialize. There were expectations that ended in disappointments.
Instead of being boastful about wishful
improvements in the four terminal facilities, the airport management should
instead, be honest enough about their limitations in finances and capability.
Finances, because, the Secretary of the DOTC, Mr. Abaya, himself, admitted that
projects for rehabilitation, have been held in abeyance. Capability, because
they know only so much – yes, hurting, but that is what is glaringly perceived
by both the local and international travelers. The agency cannot cite
corruption, for obvious reason – their heads will roll!
The spokesperson tried very much to save
their neck by stating that, international travelers should not expect much from
the Manila airport terminals as these are just used for transiting. That reason
smacks of irresponsibility. The spokesperson forgot that appropriate terminal
fee is imposed to travelers. So the question is, where did the millions of
terminal fee go? She should answer that, otherwise, she will be accused of covering
up the shenanigans going on inside the agency.
Ever since, irresponsibility in the
management of the Manila airport terminals is manifested in the inutile
administration and hand washing with statements that only the imprudent can
utter! A broadcaster who mentioned this issue one time, ended his delivery of
commentary with “what else can Filipinos expect from the present
administration?”
