00:00 The Manila International Airport Authority assured that the facilities in Paliparana are clean.
00:06 This is after passengers were bitten while they were inside the airport.
00:11 Noel Talacaya has details.
00:14 Because of the viral incident of passengers bitten by the virus in Naia Terminal 2 and 3,
00:23 the Manila International Airport Authority assured that the facilities in the airport are clean.
00:32 Because they do defogging every day.
00:36 Every time people are a bit naughty, they enter the airport and clean up.
00:42 But when it comes to seats, cleaning is rotational.
00:47 For example, in Naia Terminal 3, it has 2,028 total gang chairs and each gang chair has 4 seats.
00:59 Every day, only 20 gang chairs are disinfected.
01:04 So, even after 3 months, the disinfection cycle of the seats in the terminal is still not over.
01:14 But because of what happened, disinfection can be leveled up.
01:21 That's what I'm telling the terminal managers, that you have to do more.
01:25 I mean, we probably need to do more checks.
01:29 Although we've done, we're doing it right now, but probably we need to do more.
01:34 In a social media post, the wide screen and the bite of bed bugs was seen on the passenger's cheek in Naia Terminal 3.
01:45 While the other was in Naia Terminal 2, where the passenger's back was bitten by a virus.
01:54 The passenger even took a video of the bottom of the seat with viruses.
01:59 The Mia'a board promised to provide assistance to the passengers affected by the spread of the virus.
02:09 And they also asked for compensation from the victims.
02:13 Here in this part of Naia Terminal 3, the departure area, the seats were infected with the virus.
02:20 Because there were no seats, the other passengers were sitting on the side. The others were standing while waiting for their flights.
02:29 Yesterday, disinfection of the affected seats started.
02:34 According to the pest control personnel of Naia Terminal 3, it will take three days to do it.
02:41 It's a contact chemical, so once it's infected, it's dead immediately.
