MANILA — Senator Grace Poe has urged authorities at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to conduct a thorough deep cleaning of the facility in response to recent reports of rats and bed bugs.
“NAIA should undergo a comprehensive deep cleaning to ensure that all areas, including hidden nooks and crannies, are free of pests,” Poe emphasized.
“While the incidents of bed bug infestation and rat sightings may be isolated, they have the potential to deter travelers and negatively impact our tourism industry,” she added.
Last Friday, a traveler bound for Singapore captured a video showing a rat scurrying across the ceiling light fixtures at Gate 102 of NAIA Terminal 3.
Poe expressed her hope that the planned rehabilitation project for NAIA would proceed without any hitches, aiming to eliminate all pest-related issues and provide passengers with a consistently positive experience.
