The Manila International Airport Authority has implemented a reshuffle covering terminal managers and airport personnel.
The move, initiated by MIAA general manager Eddie Monreal, came a few days before the scheduled ban in connection with the upcoming village and youth council elections which prohibit the transfer of all government employees.
Monreal assigned Ninoy Aquino International Airport-Terminal 2 manager Irene Montalbo to replace Terminal 1 manager Dante Basanta, who was transferred to Terminal 3.
Joycelyn Mapanao, of the MIAA Property Management Division, was appointed as Terminal 2 manager.
Monreal also reassigned Terminal 2 Airport Police Department chief Supt. William Dolot to Terminal 1. He was replaced by Supt. Adrian Tecson.
Supt. Luis Cometa was transferred to Terminal 3 while Supt. Teotimo Cruz retain his post as Terminal 4 APD chief.
The Commission on Elections prohibits the transferring, appointment and hiring of government officers and employees to any national or local government office or agency in connection with the May 14 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan polls.
Monreal said the reorganization is part of the agency’s reform program and improve public service.
The MIAA has instituted numerous reforms and improvements to better serve the passengers and airports users of the four terminals of the country’s premier airport.
Among the reforms initiated was the reactivation of the Airport Security Center in close coordination with the National Police-Aviation Security Group.
ASC, under the supervision of the MIAA general manager, is tasked to protect the security regularity and efficiency of the Naia by developing and implementing the necessary procedures in compliance with the provisions of the National Civil Aviation Security Program for safeguarding persons, terminals, air navigations, aircraft and equipment against acts of unlawful interference.
Monreal also created a central desk connecting all agencies designed to provide immediate response to passenger complaints and concerns.Ӭ
In terms of decongestion, the Airport chief, with the help of the Civil Aeronotics Board and the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, had introduce restrictions on general aviation and aerial works traffic at Naia that in turn will increase the numbers of commercial flights per hour to minimize flight delays.
The MIAA is also putting up state-of-the-art closed circuit televisions (CCTVs) at the baggage build up areas particularly at the Naia Terminal 1 to replace the old which were installed in the 1990s.
