    An airport named MAFIA

    By Antonio J. Montalván II  |  Jul 12, 2022 9:42 PM

    VERA FILES FACT CHECK: Katwiran ng mambabatas sa pagpapalit ng pangalan ng NAIA nakaliligaw

    By VERA Files  |  Jul 09, 2022 10:37 AM

    Sa isang pahayag sa media noong Hulyo 5, sinabi ni Negros Oriental Rep. Arnolfo Teves Jr. na naghain siya noong Hunyo 30 ng panukalang batas na nagmumungkahi na palitan ang pangalan ng Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) at gawing Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. International Airport. Binigyan-katwiran niya ang panukala sa pamamagitan ng pagsasabing “ginawa” ang paliparan sa ilalim ng administrasyon ng yumaong diktador. Ito ay nakaliligaw.

    Arnolfo Teves’s sipsip move to rename NAIA

    By Antonio J. Montalván II  |  Jul 08, 2022 11:54 AM

    It was probably the only airport in the world tied to a dictator’s name, but only anecdotally. Often informally referred to as Hitler’s Airport, its official name was actually the Berlin Tempelhof Airport.

    By VERA Files  |  Aug 11, 2021 5:14 PM
