House of
Representatives Deputy Speaker Davao City’s 1st District Representative
Paolo Duterte, lawmakers Lord Allan Velasco and Eric Yap
The three solons are
proposing to change the international gateway of the country’s current name of
the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to “Paliparang Pandaigdig ng
Pilipinas” through House Bill No. 7031.
The three reasons out
that “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 as belonging to the Philippines.”
“With the proposed
name, the airport will easily be identified as the international doorway of the
country, in view of it being in Filipino language and branding it as the
international airport in the Philippines,” they added.
History of the airport’s name
Previously it was
called the Manila International Airport, before it was changed to Ninoy Aquino
International Airport.
It was during the
presidency of Corazon Aquino the country’s international gateway was changed by
virtue of Republic Act 6639, which was enacted without executive approval, in
honor of the late senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino,Jr. who was assassinated in
the said airport last August 21, 1983 after returning to the Philippines from
his self-imposed exile in the United States of America (USA).
