I am one of the many ATCs working in Manila. I do agree on what has been said; expectations on CAAP will not be met. Infact, they will NEVER (short or long term) be met.
Ciron is on his way out. Whoever replaces him, I doubt if he/she can save the reputation of our Civil Aviation industry. They are all the same.. goodie-goodie sa simula then lumalabas din ang tunay na kulay in the end.
