The Joint Foreign Chambers (JFC) and industry associations laud the approval by the House committees on Government Enterprises and Transportation of House Bill 7976 creating the Philippine Airports Authority (PAA).
At the same time, JFC urged the Senate to initiate hearings on the reform with a view to approving it by the end of 2021.
The two House committees are chaired by Rep. Eric Olivarez and Rep. Edgar Mary Sarmiento, respectively. In his sponsorship of the bill, Chairperson Olivarez (Paranaque City, 1st District) stated “the differences between the operational and supervisory controls of airports in the Philippines have resulted to conflicting policies and programs among airports concerning airport maintenance, operations and development leaving overall airport management in the country with much room for improvement.”

Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, May 13) A lawmaker has filed a bill seeking a ₱40-billion relief package for pandemic-battered Philippine air carriers.
House Bill No. 9324 or the Air Carriers Relief Act was filed by House Economic Affairs chairperson Rep. Sharon Garin. It shall recognize the vital role of the transportation sector in facilitating the flow of goods, people and investment. Towards this end, it shall be a priority of the government to provide reliefs for any threat to the existence of the air transport sector by extending loan payments, interest free loans, loan guarantees and regulatory reliefs during this challenging time of pandemic, the bill read.
