Mo Twister Reacts to Proposal Renaming NAIA to the Name of Ferdinand Marcos Sr
DJ Mo Twister expresses his reactions to the proposal aiming to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to the name of the late president Ferdinand Marcos Sr.
One of those who objected to a solon’s plan to rename NAIA in honor of the previous president and father of the newly elected president Bongbong Marcos Jr. was the disc jockey operator. Arnolfo Teves Jr., a representative from Negros Oriental, introduces House Bill 619 to rename the airport.
Teves asserts that designating NAIA as the “Ferdinand E. Marcos International Airport,” as it would be more fitting to rename it after the one who contributed to the conception and implementation of the aforementioned noble endeavor.
” It is more appropriate to bear the name that has contributed and [left a] legacy in our country to make the Philippines a center of international and domestic air travel, who has instituted and built or conceptualized the project,” he said.
On Tuesday, July 5, Mo Twister tweeted that he anticipated this possibility within the first few months of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos, Jr.’s administration. He did not anticipate it to happen more quickly, though, as the idea had developed inside in just six days.
“Last year, I said it would likely take 6 months in a BBM administration to see movement to change the name of the airport. I said it would be inevitable but not in the first few days or months. Vanity can’t be that important. It took 6 days,” he said in his tweet.
As a tribute to the shooting of former senator Ninoy Aquino at the aforementioned airport, Manila International Airport was purportedly renamed Ninoy Aquino International Airport in 1987 by Republic Act No. 6639, despite not receiving executive clearance at the time.
In 1987, by Republic Act No. 6639, the name of Manila International Airport was purportedly changed to Ninoy Aquino International Airport, even without executive approval under the administration of President Corazon Aquino. It was changed in remembrance of the shooting of former Senator Ninoy Aquino at the said airport.
