Expensive Terminal Fee at Manila Airport
« on: January 12, 2012, 11:10:25 AM »
By Osias T. Osorio

Effective February 1, 2012, all departing international passengers will now pay P550 each instead of the usual P750 terminal fee, after collecting extra P200 for a five-year period has ended.

Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) chief Jose Honrado added that by yearend, the P550 would be incorporated in the departing passenger’s plane ticket.

He said his office has received complaints from passengers, preferring to pay by means of credit card after they ran out of the local currency on entering the airport, giving their small bills away to drivers and friends.

Others said they prefer to carry credit cards with them instead of cash.

The MIAA had already installed this year several credit card machines for passengers' use in each of the four passenger terminals.

The MIAA started collecting the P200 security fee to buy x-ray scanners, guns, closed-circuit television, bomb sniffing K-9s, vehicles and close to a total of 20 other pieces of equipment to enhance the airport defense and safety.

The MIAA was able to collect some P3.9 billion in five years, of which P1.65 billion had been earmarked for security enhancement projects, according to Connie Bungag, the chief of Public Affairs Office.

John 3:16-18 ESV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
