    Amid the Manila airport fiasco on New Year’s Day, a YouTube video making the rounds online erroneously claims that President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos has ordered the renaming of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to Manila International Airport (MIA). This claim is false. Neither the president’s office nor airport authorities made such an announcement. There are […]

    New Year’s Day epic fail at NAIA

    By Ellen Tordesillas  |  Jan 01, 2023 6:14 PM

    I had expected that today would be the usual boring New Year’s Day with everybody allowing themselves to be lazy after last night’s “Goodbye 2022, Welcome 2023” activities.

    An airport named MAFIA

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

    Of the many new names gamely proposed by some readers for the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in a bid to satirize the proposed bill of Congressman Arnolfo Teves Jr., MAFIA — for Meldy and Ferdie International Airport — was the most impressive.

    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.

    FACT CHECK: Gadon has NOT succeeded in petition to rename NAIA

    By VERA Files  |  Jul 08, 2022 7:01 PM

    A video on Facebook (FB) with nearly half a million views claims lawyer Larry Gadon has “succeeded” in his longstanding petition to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to Manila International Airport (MIA). Not true. This erroneous claim on NAIA’s name change has been debunked repeatedly by VERA Files Fact Check since 2018. Then […]

    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.
