The Governance Commission for GOCCs gave the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines three days to turn in a report about the Jan. 1 incident.
GCG chair Alex Quiroz said in a statement this was done as part of the commission’s efforts to support the Caap in preventing a repeat of the circumstances surrounding the air traffic management system that led to Ninoy Aquino International Airport flights being canceled, delayed or diverted.The GCG is the central advisory, oversight and monitoring body for GOCCs. It monitors and evaluates the operations of GOCCs “to be transparent and responsive to the needs of the public.
Citing GCG records from the past administration, Quiroz said having a Communications, Navigation and Surveillance/Air Traffic Management system was a strategic goal in Caap’s 2017 performance scorecard and its transition and implementation were the agency’s strategic target in its 2018 and 2019 scorecards.
