00:00 Senators are blaming the problems in their countries.
00:05 These are the ones who are affected by tourism.
00:08 And MAV Gonzales was able to point it out.
00:10 Broken aircon, broken escalator, and broken bathroom.
00:17 These are just a few of the things that were blamed by the Senate Committee on Public Services.
00:24 The facilities are often dirty, hot, and damaged. There are not enough services, whether it's domestic or international.
00:32 Flight delays, cancellations, and of course, because of that, we have a recipe for disaster.
00:38 If this is the only way we will succeed, who will be willing to visit our country?
00:48 How do we boost our tourism with airports like this?
00:51 And the escalator of IA Terminal 3 was broken several times by the Senate President.
00:57 It's been busted for the last five months, I think.
01:00 Yes. The only escalator they have is busted.
01:05 So everybody has to walk down carrying their bags.
01:07 I felt sorry for the senior citizens.
01:09 The elevator is full. There's only one elevator, right?
01:12 The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines explained that it's taking a long time to deliver spare parts.
01:18 The operation of IA Terminal 3 was turned over to the private concessionaire on September 14.
01:23 San Miguel is doing the OFW lounge in Terminal 3.
01:28 They are also renovating, repairing the basement of Terminal 3 in order to improve the amenities afforded the IA employees
01:38 in terms of cafeteria and rest space and some mini-barracks.
01:45 Even in the provinces, some airports have problems like Iloilo.
01:50 Many complaints already. Air conditioning, escalators. The escalator problem has been going on for a long time.
01:55 In fact, during the last budget, we allotted more than a hundred million for the repairs and upgrades in the Iloilo airport.
02:05 The new BPP code and the new regulations that were issued in April 6 has an impact on fulfilling the requirements.
02:13 We are very much on schedule now for Iloilo.
02:16 In Lagindingan Airport of Cagayan de Oro City, it's tight and white.
02:22 The corners are standing. The bathrooms are still good in the morning but in the afternoon, it's white.
02:29 We have this ongoing rehabilitation of CRs.
02:32 Regarding Lagindingan, we are constructing a modular terminal that is capable of 360 passengers.
02:39 And we expect this to be completed by August.
02:42 The initial design I saw was a container van.
02:45 No, sir.
02:46 Because it's a pity to use a container.
02:48 It's something similar that they use in Singapore.
02:51 So we can transfer that to another airport.
02:53 Air conditioning.
02:54 Air conditioning with toilets.
02:56 The open-airport, the gateway to Boracay, was also closed.
03:00 If you're going back to Manila, you need to take a bus.
03:04 So we were in the bus for like 30 minutes to bring us to the tarmac.
03:09 And the airport is also very small.
03:12 We want more visitors in Boracay.
03:16 But the airport itself does not have the capacity to accept more visitors.
03:22 She added that the domestic airport should be inventory-oriented
03:26 because they have the same problem and it affects tourism.
03:30 As a nation comprising of 7,641 islands, the Philippines relies very heavily on air transport.
03:38 Over 99.5% of our foreign international guests arrived via our airports in 2023.
03:46 The accessibility of our destinations--
03:49 Maybe Secretary Fransco, we can give them a video about our tourist spots.
03:55 Instead of--because they're showing the ribbon-cutting of the DOTR.
03:59 You're waiting in your suitcase, you're a tourist.
04:02 For GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, for Tutok 24 Horas.
