00:00The situation of our borders and the preparations for the upcoming waves.

00:06We will discuss this with Atty. Chris Bendijo,

00:10the spokesperson and head executive assistant of Manila International Airport Authority.

00:16Atty. Chris, good afternoon to all of you.

00:20Good afternoon, Ma'am Nina Asikweng.

00:23Atty., we would like to ask for an update on our borders after the storm Christine.

00:29What are the damages that were caused by this?

00:34Insofar as our last typhoon, we sustained damage to our water supply.

00:40One of our water pipes was damaged.

00:43We also had a breach in one of our x-rays.

00:47However, our private concessionaire, the UNIA Infrastructure Corporation,

00:52was able to repair it.

00:54Here, we can see the advantage of the private sector in protecting our borders

01:00because they can immediately buy parts to compensate for the damaged equipment.

01:07Sir, what are your preparations for the possible effects of this typhoon?

01:14Right now, Ma'am.

01:16Sorry, Ma'am.

01:18Hello, Sir.

01:20Sorry, Ma'am. What is it?

01:21What are your preparations for the possible effects of this typhoon?

01:29Right now, we have a team actively monitoring this typhoon.

01:32We understand that it intensified.

01:34But so far as operations, we have not received any news from our airlines.

01:39We are hoping our passengers can actively monitor and directly coordinate with their airlines

01:44so that if there are cancellations, they can be informed immediately.

01:48We have to be aware that the weather here in Paliparan is not bad yet.

01:54But in our destination, the weather there is already bad.

01:58So it is possible that cancellations will still occur.

02:03In the upcoming typhoon, what are your preparations for this?

02:11That's right, Ma'am.

02:12At present, we are here in the office of CAD.

02:16Our coordination meeting is ongoing as a preparation for the typhoon.

02:21We have an off-plan trip to the typhoon 2024

02:25from the directive of our Secretary of Transportation, Jimmy Bautista.

02:29This is also exciting for us because this is the first time

02:34that we will launch an off-plan trip with the private sector, our NNIC,

02:39because the operation and maintenance of our terminal is already in the private sector.

02:43Even so, our off-plan trip will continue to coordinate with the agencies running around Paliparan

02:50so that we can ensure that our trip is safe, safe and reliable,

02:55especially for the passengers of Paliparan.

02:58When it comes to personnel, will airport security be added that can help our passengers?

03:06That's right.

03:07In our coordination with the security block,

03:11our Philippine National Police Aviation Security Unit,

03:15they will add additional warm bodies.

03:18To my understanding, they will deploy additional 100 to 200 personnel

03:22so that we can ensure that our terminals are safe.

03:26Okay. How is the situation of our airport now?

03:30When it comes to the comfort of our travelers,

03:32because before, there were complaints that there is no aircon,

03:36the line is long, and it's crowded, especially now that it's the off-plan trip.

03:42That's right, Ma'am Nina.

03:44Our private sector is now operating.

03:48We can notice that they have additional deployment of seats,

03:52so some of our passengers can already board.

03:54In terms of queuing, just like our preparation for the off-plan trip,

03:58our Bureau of Immigration and OTS have a commitment

04:02that they will deploy additional personnel

04:05so that our passenger processing inside the airport is efficient.

04:09So, deployment of additional immigration personnel,

04:12deployment of additional OTS screeners,

04:15so that our passengers can continue their processing.

04:19Aside from that, when it comes to processing and check-in counters,

04:23how can you prepare for the congestion there

04:26and to avoid having the same problem in the luggages?

04:30In our coordination with our private concessionaire,

04:34as well as with our airlines,

04:36they can see that they can open our check-in counters early,

04:40so that our passengers can be processed early.

04:44When they are processed, they can enter the airside

04:48and we have a lot of amenities here for our passengers.

04:51As for our baggage handling,

04:53this has been addressed by our private concessionaire.

04:56They already have the remedies

04:59to solve the problem in our screening device,

05:04the X-ray that was detected in our baggage handling system.

05:08Okay, our time is a bit different.

05:11Are you ready for suspended or cancelled flights?

05:15And how will you take care of the passengers

05:18if they are stranded at the airport?

05:21What are you going to do if they are stranded there?

05:24That's right, Ma'am Nina.

05:26In fact, we just discussed that here at CAB.

05:30We are reminding them that it's good for our passengers

05:33to visit the CAB website

05:35so that they can be aware of their passenger bill of rights.

05:40We are also reminding our airlines

05:43about their responsibilities in cases of cancellations.

05:47What are the things that we can extend to help

05:50if we need to provide meals,

05:51if we need to provide accommodation?

05:53We are reminding our airlines about their obligations.

05:57Okay, and again,

05:59for those who will travel to the airport,

06:02how many hours before they need to arrive?

06:06Ideally, local or international flights.

06:11As a reminder, for international flights,

06:14we hope you can come to the airport

06:16three hours before your flight

06:18and for domestic, two hours before.

06:20But this is just to accommodate your entire process

06:24and possibly contingencies.

06:26That being said, we also invite our passengers

06:29to visit the websites of the different government agencies

06:32that operate within the airport.

06:34Our OTS so that you can be familiar with the prohibited items.

06:37We need to register our e-travel here

06:40and we can do it within three days before our flight.

06:44As well as our familiarity with the processes

06:46in immigration, customs,

06:48and other agencies that are located in our area.

06:51That way, we can be sure that your process

06:53for your flights is smooth and very efficient.

06:56Sometimes, the prohibited and non-prohibited items

06:59need to be clarified so that the queue won't get longer.

07:02There are prohibited items that need to be checked in,

07:04for example, laptops, batteries.

07:06What are the prohibited items that need to be checked in

07:09and should be hand-carried and vice versa?

07:12That's right, Ma'am.

07:13We can see the list of prohibited items

07:16on the website of the CAO.

07:19And then, regarding our aerosols,

07:22our liquids, aerosols, gels,

07:25there are only 100 ml limitations, if I'm not mistaken.

07:28That's why, again, we suggest for our passengers

07:31to visit the website of the different agencies

07:33working in the airports

07:35so that they can familiarize themselves

07:37with what's prohibited and what's allowed

07:39so that they won't have to worry

07:40about boarding their airplanes.

07:43That's right.

07:45Because sometimes, you're there

07:47and you're being asked to remove and hand-carry.

07:49That's why, we should be clear

07:51on what can be checked in and what can't be checked in.

07:53Thank you very much for your time,

07:55Atty. Chris Bendijo,

07:57the spokesperson and head executive assistant

07:59of Manila International Airport Authority.

08:05Thank you for the opportunity, Grappanon.
