Detained senator Leila
De Lima slams Presidential son and House Deputy Speaker Paolo Duterte for his
act of filing the bill renaming the countrys international gateway to the world
from Ninoy Aquino International Airport to (NAIA) to Paliparang
Pandaigdig ng Pilipinas (PPP).
The opposition senator
said the intention behind the young Duterte’s bill, House Bill no. 7031 is
“plain and simple politics,” as well as “stupidity.”
“Ano na namang kabalbalan
ito?The lawmakers pushing for it has a distorted sense of nationalism, if at
all. Such a proposal is devoid of any salutary objective,” De Lima said in a
statement.

It was Paolo Duterte
along with ACT-CIS party-list Rep. Eric Yap and Marinduque Rep. Lord Allan Jay
Velasco, filed House Bill 7031 with the intention of renaming NAIA because it
needed to be identified with the Philippines.
“NAIA is the
international gateway of the Philippines, being the biggest and largest international
airport in the country. As such, there is a need to identify the same belonging
to the Philippines. Hence, the proposed renaming to ‘Paliparang Pandaigdig ng
Pilipinas’,” the bill’s explanatory note read.
The Deputy House Speaker
was quoted earlier saying that the name change bears no color, no political
agenda.”
