Why this petition matters

Started by Roy Domingo

Back in 1987, Manila International Airport (MIA) was renamed to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) through Republic Act No. 6639 which was enacted without executive approval on November 27, 1987.  

Reading RA 6639, one can't find a valid reason why the country's main airport should be named after Ninoy Aquino, Jr., who was a former senator and convicted in 1977 by a military court of subversion and murder. Thus, Ninoy Aquino is not a hero/patriot for inspiration and emulation of this generation and generations still unborn.  He was clearly a POLITICIAN and by naming the Philippine's main airport to his name is an insult to all Filipino heroes who died for the country and not for political ambition.

Now, we, the People of the Republic of the Philippines is urging the Philippine Congress, through Senators Imee Marcos and Manny Pacquiao as co-authors, to repeal RA 6639 and rename NAIA back to its original name Manila International Airport (MIA).
