Duterte Youth party-list Representative Ducielle Marie Cardema has filed House Bill No. 10833, which aims to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to Manila International Airport (MIA).
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.
Will not prosper!
Pagpapalit na lang ba ng pangalan ang kaya nyong gawing batas.
Oh cge pangalan mo nalang ipalit don hahaa puro ka reklamo eh
This bill isn’t even a great solution to a problem that doesn’t exist until they brought it up.
Mabuti tlga ibalik sa orig. Kasi wala nman karapatan ang nakapangalan. Ewan, Traidor…
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?
dapat palitan din yang Marcos highway

John F. Kennedy International Airport
Charles de Gaulle International Airport
Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport
Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport
Washington Dulles International Airport
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport
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.
You dont want to politicize, but u have politicized it. You have no sense of history. This is shameless. Utterly shameless…(!!).
Paano naging politized, i abalik nga sa ORIGINAL NAME
This will futher fracture the already divided nation. This is political vendetta. This is reckless. Shame on you…!!!
Paano maging divided nation, magiging united nga muli, kc back to ORIGINAL NAME, PARA WALA NG DIVISION.
Lahat ng binanggit mong international airports hindi Philippines, bakit igagaya mo pinoy sa ubang bansa
Yes, this should’ve been done a long time ago.
