(UPDATE) TRANSPORTATION Secretary Jaime Bautista said that a joint probe committee composed of officials of the Department of Transportation, Office of Transport Security, Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), and National Intelligence Coordinating Agency (NICA) will investigate the power outage that hit the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on Labor Day.

'This group will be joined by the National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine National Police so that we will be able to determine what is the real cause because there are claims that it is not a regular fault that entered the system of Terminal 3,' Bautista said on Tuesday.'We are not discounting the possibility that there might be sabotage. This is the reason why we have asked the other agencies to join,' he added.

Bautista said that it was the second time 'this has happened on a long weekend,' referring to a similar incident that transpired at the NAIA on New Year's Day.'I think you cannot really discount the possibility of having somebody do it to embarrass the government or to prove they have something that we should give into,' he said.'In fact, there are a lot of angles that were considered by NICA yesterday, but of course, I don't want to preempt them,' he added.
