“Paliparang
Pandaigdig ng Pilipinas”
But
the Vice President slams the timing of the move, wherein the country is facing
a public health crisis brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The
move to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) was filed by three
solons, Presidential son and Hose Deputy Speaker Paolo Duterte, Marinduque
representative Lord Allan Velasco, and ACT-CIS Partylist Rep. Eric Yap.

The
three solons say, changing the name of the country’s biggest airport will make
it “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
of the Philippines.”
“Where is our sense of history?”
The
Vice President in an exclusive interview with CNN Philippines’ “The Source”
said that we all know the very reason why the country’s main gateway to the
world was named after the late senator Benigno “Ninoy” Aquino, Jr. who was assassinated
last August 21, 1983.
Where
is our sense of history? asked the vice president.
“Ito,
parang, nasa gitna tayo ng pandemya, ‘di ba? Nasa gitna tayo ng pandemya, ito
pa talaga maiisip natin,” Robredo said
We’re
in the middle of a pandemic, right? We’re in the middle of a pandemic and this
is what we’re really paying attention to right now.)
“Number one, it’s ill-timed. Number two, alam naman natin why (we all know why) it was named Ninoy Aquino International Airport. So iyong tanong (So the question is), where is our sense of history?” she added.

“Ngayon pa talaga? (Should it really be
renamed now?),” retorted Robredo upon learning of the bid to change the name of.
The country biggest airport.
“Ngayon pa talaga na dapat
all hands on deck tayo na nagtutulong-tulong para masugpo iyong pandemya.
Ngayon pa iyon naiisipan,” VP Leni added.
