GRACE POE ON THE PARALYSIS OF NAIA OPERATIONS

One plane went off the runway and our entire international airport operations is paralyzed.

Many hours after the mishap, the airplane is still stuck in our runway. No flight can land or take off. Meanwhile, our passengers are stranded in our airport.

We call on the MIAA and the DOTr to resolve this problem at the soonest possible time. We ask them: what is our contingency plan for occurrences such as this? Do we have the necessary equipment to tow airplanes? We are losing not only economic opportunities because of this stoppage in operations, but moreso our face in the international community.

So much for promoting tourism. Fix this first.
