“[W]e are again in every social media portal, news channel, and newspapers across the world. Again, today's incident pointed to a string of inadequacies that showed how weak, bad, and vulnerable our airports are,” she said. “What happened to the backup and redundant systems that the DOTr and MIAA promised to upgrade? Yes, we expect a certain amount of chaos during holidays and peak seasons. But now, outages and technical glitches seem to have become a common occurence at our airports—'di na tayo natuto,” she said.
He said the Senate committee on public services had already identified the absence of redundancy or systems backup as among the critical reasons that led to the airport shutdown last January 1 along with the issue of lack of real maintenance to the airport equipment. “Unfortunately, parang sirang plaka na kami na disappointing ‘yung ginagawang mga hakbang para ayusin at i-improve ang ating airport, ang ating CAAP,” Villanueva said.
