00:00Turnover of NIA to New NIA Infrastructure Corporation,

00:04we will discuss with Atty. Chris Bendijo,

00:07the spokesperson and head executive assistant of Manila International Airport Authority.

00:13Atty. Chris, good afternoon to you.

00:17Asset Joey, Miss Nina, good afternoon.

00:20Sir, how is your preparation for the turnover of NIA to New NIA Infrastructure Corporation?

00:28Sir, we are doing a lot of activities in preparing for our turnover.

00:34At the beginning of this week,

00:36we already had employment contract signings of our NIA employees

00:42who will be transferred to our private concessionaire.

00:44We are also continuing our coordination with local government units

00:49because it will be private that will operate our terminal.

00:53We are also continuing our coordination with our private concessionaire,

00:57New NIA Infracorporation,

01:00so that we can be sure that come turnover on September 14,

01:04there will be no disruption.

01:06Our operation will continue.

01:08And NIA will continue,

01:10as it is mentioned here,

01:12we will continue our new role as regulator

01:15in running our terminal.

01:19Will NIA's operations and maintenance only turn over to you?

01:26Is that correct?

01:27And what are the changes that we can expect

01:30when it comes to NIA's operations and facilities?

01:35Yes, ma'am. In the concession agreement,

01:37the operations and maintenance is only what we call a project.

01:42As a rule, everything related to terminals,

01:45from Terminal 1, Terminal 2, Terminal 3, and Terminal 4,

01:48even their newly built terminal,

01:51where the Philippine Village is located,

01:54this is what we call a project land.

01:56So all the operations and maintenance,

01:58all the equipment, facilities,

02:00and running within this project land,

02:03that is what is in the clause of our concession agreement

02:06and that is what we will turn over to the private concessionaire, NNIC.

02:11As for our question on improvements,

02:14we'd like to manage also the expectations

02:16that this won't happen overnight,

02:19that it will be good and enhance our area.

02:22We are looking at the obligations of our private concessionaire

02:27and maybe in the small ticket items

02:31of their construction and improvements,

02:35we will see and the soonest we will feel

02:39new toilets, especially in Terminal 3,

02:43additional seating capacity,

02:45additional gang chairs in the waiting area,

02:48in the pre-departure area,

02:50our air conditioning, generator sets,

02:53the compiling and making sure that

02:56all our elevators, escalators, and walk-a-lators

02:58will run smoothly,

03:00those are also the immediate things we will feel.

03:03You mentioned, Attorney,

03:06that in the small ticket projects,

03:08the improvement will be experienced immediately.

03:11But what are the other key performance indicators

03:15in the concession agreement?

03:17Will all facilities in the perimeter fence of Paliparan

03:22be maintained by the private concessionaire?

03:25That's right.

03:27All facilities within the perimeter fence

03:29of what we call the project land

03:31will be maintained and operated by

03:34the new IA Infra Corporation.

03:36In your inquiry as to the big ticket items,

03:40for me, this is my personal take,

03:44there are two important enhancements

03:46in our Paliparan,

03:48the upgrade and update of our

03:50passenger boarding bridges,

03:52and our visual docking system.

03:54For me, this is one of the most important

03:58investments that NNIC will make

04:00because if you have encountered

04:02an airplane landing,

04:04but the passenger is not allowed to get off

04:06because there is a lightning alert,

04:08because our ground crew

04:10is ensuring their safety,

04:12so even if the airplane is parked,

04:14the passengers will not be able to get off.

04:18This visual docking system

04:20will automatically park the airplane

04:22so even if there is a lightning alert,

04:24the passengers will be able to disembark.

04:28That being said,

04:31we can avoid inconveniences

04:33like queuing and waiting.

04:35Let me mention the two KPIs

04:37that are also important

04:39for the operation of our terminals.

04:41The obligation of NNIC is

04:43number one to increase

04:45the current passenger capacity

04:47of our terminals.

04:49As to the design,

04:51at present, it's designed

04:53just for 30 million passengers per year

04:55but we're hitting around 50 already.

04:57So in their KPI,

05:00they want to increase it to 60

05:02and the construction of new terminals

05:04will be addressing this.

05:06Aside from this,

05:08there will also be under obligation

05:10under the concession agreement

05:12to increase the number of movement

05:14of flights per hour from 40 to 48.

05:16This means that

05:18all the infrastructure

05:20to achieve this,

05:22like improving and adding a taxiway,

05:24they need to do

05:26to increase the number of flights per hour.

05:29And when it comes to fees

05:31and requests,

05:33are these already in the private concessionaire

05:35or will they remain in the government?

05:37And is there an expectation

05:39to increase these

05:41like the terminal fee?

05:43Last Sunday,

05:45ma'am, to my understanding,

05:47our revised AO1 rates

05:49have already been published.

05:51It has been approved by the cabinet already.

05:53In determining

05:55whether to increase

05:58or not,

06:00there will be two classifications of fees.

06:02These are regulated and non-regulated.

06:04If it is regulated,

06:06it will remain in the government

06:08through MIA if it should be increased

06:10and will also go through the process

06:12of publication and approval by the cabinet.

06:14As for the non-regulated,

06:16these are the charges

06:18for the services

06:20in our area that are not necessary

06:22but are incidental

06:24like parking.

06:26These things will go through

06:28the control of our private concessionaire.

06:30As for your question,

06:32if we will be anticipating increases,

06:34it is included in our AO1 rates.

06:36We are expecting increases

06:38but there are also

06:40for example,

06:42the terminal fees that are often asked.

06:44We are anticipating

06:46an increase but this will happen

06:48on the anniversary of ONM start date.

06:50In short,

06:52this will happen and will be implemented

06:54in September 2025.

06:56Atty. Chris,

06:58we often hear

07:00comments about NIA

07:02that the four terminals

07:04of NIA are not able to accommodate

07:06the passengers,

07:08the looks are different.

07:10Are we expecting

07:12an expansion?

07:14Will there be changes?

07:16Are we expecting improvements

07:18like beautification

07:20and structure and facilities

07:22of NIA?

07:24That is correct, Asec.

07:26Under the concession agreement,

07:28the beautification and

07:30enhancement of our terminals both

07:32inside and outside is an obligation

07:34of the private concessionaire.

07:36We will just remember,

07:38especially with respect to Terminal 1,

07:40it is already considered as a historical site.

07:42Maybe in terms of

07:44the facade outside,

07:46we will do a limited

07:48enhancement here.

07:50As we've mentioned earlier,

07:52the increase of passenger capacity

07:54is part of their obligation.

07:56You're right in what you said.

07:58We will build a new

08:00passenger terminal where

08:02our Philippine Village is located.

08:04With that, we're hoping to hit

08:06really almost close to

08:0860 million passengers per year

08:10so that it will be more convenient,

08:12more organized,

08:14and our terminals will be cleaner.

08:16I think the intention

08:18really is to connect Terminal 1,

08:20Terminal 2, and the

08:22new terminal where the Philippine Village is located.

08:24We're still trying

08:26to determine really if they will be

08:28expanding Terminal 4

08:30and if it will be connected or

08:32they have a different purpose here.

08:34With the plans that they're showing us,

08:36definitely a new terminal will be in the

08:38pipeline.

08:40What about the

08:42congestion of airport taxis

08:44and other TNVS services

08:46outside of Paliparan?

08:48Is this also part of the

08:50improvement?

08:52That's right, ma'am.

08:54We've launched

08:56since last month

08:58more strict regulations

09:00on our private

09:02sorry, our

09:04transport providers.

09:06We're

09:08tightening our regulations

09:10because we're still being

09:12warned that there are

09:14vendors, contractors,

09:16color room. That's why we're also

09:18inviting and encouraging

09:20that we have new

09:22transport service providers

09:24that can be hooked here in

09:26Paliparan and through competition,

09:28we can improve

09:30the services of

09:32our transport services.

09:34For that, we can also avoid

09:36abusive drivers.

09:38As to the programs, we still have ongoing

09:40programs with the LTFRB

09:42so that we can check

09:44the taxis.

09:46I think last week, we already had a sample

09:48because we caught them.

09:50They have a thing called Bating Ting.

09:52Their metro and taxi

09:54are a bit simulated and we really want to

09:56avoid these instances

09:58because this is a very bad experience

10:00if this is the first experience

10:02of our tourists in our country.

10:04We're still tightening this

10:06and under the concession agreement,

10:08I'd like to inform you also,

10:10the transport police will stay in MIA.

10:12With that, I think we can

10:14really focus more on

10:16regulating and monitoring

10:18our transport providers.

10:20We've talked to

10:22attorneys and employees.

10:24What are the

10:26changes in the employment

10:28of MIAA employees

10:30in joining operations

10:32in private concessionaires?

10:34Do we have any details about this?

10:36Yes, sir.

10:38In terms of the transferring

10:40employees, the so-called

10:42affected employees,

10:44NNIC has

10:46offers for them. Number one,

10:48they have a 25%

10:50increase in their basic salary.

10:52Number two, they have

10:54a signing bonus

10:56which is 2 times the monthly basic

10:58salary that they have

11:00times number of years minus

11:02the retirement benefit that they

11:04will be getting. We also have

11:06separation incentive pay.

11:08For those who

11:10will transfer to the private sector,

11:12they have

11:14a cash incentive.

11:16Even with that

11:18offer, we know

11:20that there are also employees

11:22who don't want to transfer to the private sector.

11:24If this is the

11:26decision of our employees,

11:28MIAA will have

11:30an obligation, number one,

11:32either to look for

11:34available positions in other agencies

11:36of our government, or number two,

11:38if there are still available

11:40positions here in MIAA

11:42that they can apply for,

11:44we can also allocate to them.

11:46Definitely, we can assure

11:48everybody that we really want

11:50to avoid the loss of

11:52jobs. And insofar

11:54as the structure of

11:56MIAA, presently we have

11:58a reorganization structure

12:00proposal. It's pending with

12:02GCG.

12:04We need to identify

12:06and streamline our

12:08structure because

12:10our role will change

12:12as a

12:14regulator of our area.

12:16That being said,

12:18our employees that are directly

12:20related to the operations and maintenance of the airport

12:22will lose their

12:24plantilla positions in

12:26MIAA.

12:28At the same time, we also have to

12:30prepare for this new role.

12:32That's why our auditors,

12:34our check-ups,

12:36if the KPIs are met,

12:38we will assign

12:40new positions

12:42as part of MIAA's new duties.

12:44Atty. Chris,

12:46how many

12:48employees are currently

12:50in MIAA, and

12:52how many of them can be

12:54displaced, and others

12:56may lose their jobs?

12:58In terms of

13:00organic, ma'am, I think

13:02as of yesterday,

13:04if I'm not mistaken,

13:06more than 450

13:08signed employment contracts

13:10with NNIC. I think

13:12there still are a few who will be

13:14signing today or tomorrow,

13:16but our organic

13:18is in that number.

13:20That being said, there will be

13:22only about probably

13:24100 organic employees

13:26that may decide not to transfer,

13:28or are still thinking about it.

13:30In terms of our service

13:32providers, we have around 1,000.

13:34Of course, with

13:36respect to operations and maintenance,

13:38maybe in the

13:402,000 range,

13:42we expect that there will be

13:44transfers to NNIC.

13:46But as to that aspect,

13:48I don't have those figures. I'll get

13:50more data, and I'll text that to your

13:52producer. Yes,

13:54we have you back, Atty.,

13:56but as a last message

13:58to our countrymen,

14:00that is in our hands right now,

14:02maybe it's very crucial,

14:04when will we feel

14:06the rise in prices

14:08at the airport?

14:10Yes, ma'am. To all

14:12our friends, to all our

14:14airway passengers,

14:16from MIA, we hope

14:18that our NNIC

14:20will be in good hands.

14:22As of now,

14:24repair and maintenance

14:26is already long overdue.

14:28This will be one of the biggest

14:30advantages of the private sector

14:32because their operations and

14:34maintenance will not be

14:36affected by our procurement law

14:38as a private sector.

14:40That being said,

14:42we expect a lot of changes,

14:44but still, if we want to

14:46manage our expectations,

14:48within the timeline,

14:50there will be improvements

14:52on the 5th or 6th year.

14:54In the meantime,

14:56we hope that our

14:58flights will continue.

15:00We expect rate

15:02increases. Maybe

15:04what we should worry about

15:06is the additional

15:08fees for our flights.

15:10There are alternatives

15:12and better enhancements

15:14for our terminal. From technology,

15:16we will also reduce

15:18waiting times.

15:20There will be a special lane

15:22for our OFWs, PWDs,

15:24persons with

15:26reduced mobility.

15:28All of these are our plans.

15:30Hopefully,

15:32we will fast-forward and

15:34finish everything.

15:36In the meantime,

15:38MIA is still here and ready

15:40to serve all of us.

15:42Alright.

15:44Thank you very much for your time,

15:46I'm Chris Bendijo,

15:48Head Executive Assistant

15:50of Manila International Airport Authority.
