According to the bill’s explanatory note, Cardema said that the “name of the international gateway of the country should have not been politicized” and that the country’s capital is Manila and “therefore the country’s international gateway to the world must be known as the MANILA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.”

In a report by Inquirer.net, acting presidential spokesman Martin Andanar said that there has to be a congressional action to repeal the Republic Act No. 6639 which renamed MIA to NAIA.

On December 10, 1987, the Aquino Administration enacted RA No. 6639 renaming MIA to NAIA. In 2020, there was a petition to nullify the said RA but the petition was junked by the Supreme Court.

    This bill isn’t even a great solution to a problem that doesn’t exist until they brought it up.

    Following her logic, all infrastructures named after politicians should be renamed too. Like MARCOS HIGHWAY

      Ikaw ba ay hindi nag iisip? Iba ung term na “palitan” kaysa “ibabalik sa dati”. Ang “MIA” ay ibabalik sa orig. Name, ung “MARCOS” di na kailangan palitan, kc original name na yan. Gets mo?

      None of these airports were named by their immediate family sitting in office.

      Miss call tanga, please be aware that the change of the airport name to Ninoy Aquino International Airport was approved by Congress.
