MANILA — Senate President Juan Miguel Zubiri criticized the problems experienced by passengers in the country’s international and domestic airports, saying that it “seems to not do justice to what our beautiful country has to offer.”
“Huwag po nating pahiyain ang ating bansa sa mga ganitong klaseng pagkukulang natin bilang public servants,” Zubiri said.
“We cannot subject our people to this level of inefficiency, and these low standards of service,” he added.
Zubiri said every week he gets reports from friends from various regions about their awful experiences in airports, from defective air conditioning units and escalators to the lack of chairs in waiting lounges.
This is aside from the perennial problem of flight delays and cancellations.
Meanwhile, the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) has vowed to repair the faulty escalators in Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminals 2 and 3.
