Senators Grace Poe and Francis Escudero are seeing a more efficient operation of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) under the management of a private firm.

Poe, Senate public services committee chairperson, said not only the time for the privatization of the country’s main gateway has come but it is also “well past its due.”

“This could be a template for the modernization of the NAIA operations. It's time to start fixing our country's premier gateway. Filipinos and foreign travelers deserve a better airport,” Poe said. Among the requirements that the government should set are accomplishment timeline, performance matrix and penalties for any default.“The private sector, I believe, is by far more efficient than government,” Escudero said in a text message to reporters. Escudero is a member of the Senate public services committee.
