NAIA invites "world's worst airport" title anew - Miriam

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">MANILA, Philippines - Presidential candidate Miriam Defensor Santiago on Monday warned that the five-hour blackout that stranded thousands of passengers threatens to put the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) back in the list of worst airports in the world.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRRe5jdSTWmN1oQi2RZlCno5q6IOr1UGOTKhzDUO77N5L9Kgsl6l3Okus6QxSgqRs8x21oYMoJxwt6LB-y9hLmsJWCtyG2PX23br6A-E29_k0zL4gqD-6ctplPK5I8Nf90YfHHx5uND92S/s1600/NAIA-terminal3.JPG" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="Five-hour power outage hit NAIA Terninal 3 on Saturday night" border="0" height="466" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRRe5jdSTWmN1oQi2RZlCno5q6IOr1UGOTKhzDUO77N5L9Kgsl6l3Okus6QxSgqRs8x21oYMoJxwt6LB-y9hLmsJWCtyG2PX23br6A-E29_k0zL4gqD-6ctplPK5I8Nf90YfHHx5uND92S/s640/NAIA-terminal3.JPG" title="Five-hour power outage hit NAIA Terninal 3 on Saturday night" width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption">Five-hour power outage hit NAIA Terninal 3 on Saturday night.

Meralco has meanwhile denied a power outage.<br /><br />Santiago, for her part, said that the NAIA must have uninterrupted power supply. "Assuming for the sake of argument that the Meralco line tripped, where were the generators? The explanation that they were not working is unacceptable," she added.<br /><br />The infrastructure agenda Santiago posted on her website includes the development of a modern international airport. The NAIA runway design, she said, is one of the main factors for congestion.<br /><br />"The runways are perpendicular to each other, barring planes from using one runway when the other is in use. If NAIA will be expanded, we must build runways parallel to each other," the senator said.<br /><br />"In the meantime, it would be wise to reallocate some flights to the airport in Clark, which is currently underutilized. Clark Airport should complement and not necessarily replace NAIA," she added.</div>

Her brother, whom Suarez didn’t identify, was apparently put on hold at the Immigration because his identity matched that of a killer from Bulacan.<br /><br />Suarez’ brother insisted his innocence and pointed out that he’s from Sta. Rosa, Laguna and had been frequently leaving the country for Dubai. He also showed copies of his police and NBI clearance as proof. <br /><br />Her brother immediately contacted Suarez, who happens to be a lawyer, to seek advice on how to handle the ordeal. Suarez then instructed her brother to let her talk to the personnel. <br /><br />“Sabi ng kuya ko dun sa Kalbong taga Immigration kakausapin siya ng kapatid niyang abogado which is ako yun,” Suarez wrote on Facebook.<br /><br />(My brother told the bald man from Immigration that his sibling, who’s a lawyer, will talk to him.)<br /><br />Upon hearing this, the personnel told Suarez’ brother that there is no need for them to talk as the matter has been settled. Suarez’ brother also noticed that the immigration personnel were already moving away from him while he was talking on the phone.<br /><br />Aside from Suarez, two other netizens claimed that they fell victim to the same scheme.<br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpzD7YLa6S5WTpbB9bC_3_a029vQiUM4gqQfyGM4dIuJdqFUewV7VqFvuH7AmME8gzT9S1eaQgiK1CwlHtLto3x3QnqqCbeajBGXWmD7M4zQICf_s3SO92DEgoF5ttf74LYxwcV8plSwAv/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-NAIA-facebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="new modus operandi in NAIA 3" border="0" height="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpzD7YLa6S5WTpbB9bC_3_a029vQiUM4gqQfyGM4dIuJdqFUewV7VqFvuH7AmME8gzT9S1eaQgiK1CwlHtLto3x3QnqqCbeajBGXWmD7M4zQICf_s3SO92DEgoF5ttf74LYxwcV8plSwAv/s640/Screen+Shot+2016-NAIA-facebook.jpg" title="new modus operandi in NAIA 3" width="544" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">PHOTO CREDIT: Facebook/Usapang Korapsyon</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHZGD_FxNposMqkOei23K8fIMZrp_c6mCX3-Or1dFl2hZdFj0P9ocs9kPbuKgmzDpOxiIvTh3vP8YvlOifqaY0aaDGpjQFGwiXGWidIk7EmDGIHy-boDIIEiby64BthVu3jihtNCkw4LzI/s1600/Screen+Shot+2016-NAIA-facebook2.jpg" imageanchor="1" rel="nofollow" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="new modus operandi in NAIA 3" border="0" height="232" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHZGD_FxNposMqkOei23K8fIMZrp_c6mCX3-Or1dFl2hZdFj0P9ocs9kPbuKgmzDpOxiIvTh3vP8YvlOifqaY0aaDGpjQFGwiXGWidIk7EmDGIHy-boDIIEiby64BthVu3jihtNCkw4LzI/s640/Screen+Shot+2016-NAIA-facebook2.jpg" title="new modus operandi in NAIA 3" width="560" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">PHOTO CREDIT: Facebook/Usapang Korapsyon</td></tr></tbody></table><br />The post, which has been shared through the Facebook page Usapang Korapsyon on January 10, has gone viral amassing over 78,000 shares as of press time. <br /><br />Check out the full Facebook post below.<br /><center><div id="fb-root"></div><script>(function(d, s, id) {  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script><div class="fb-post" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/khitanunah/posts/1202683629746566" data-width="500"><div class="fb-xfbml-parse-ignore"><blockquote cite="https://www.facebook.com/khitanunah/posts/1202683629746566">Guys may bagong Modus na naman ang Naia Terminal 3 after ng Tanim Bala at kanina lang kuya ko ang nabiktima.
