Duterte Youth party-list Representative Ducielle Marie Cardema has filed House Bill No. 10833, which aims to rename the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) to Manila International Airport (MIA).
According to the bill’s explanatory note, Cardema said that the “name of the international gateway of the country should have not been politicized” and that the country’s capital is Manila and “therefore the country’s international gateway to the world must be known as the MANILA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.”
In a report by Inquirer.net, acting presidential spokesman Martin Andanar said that there has to be a congressional action to repeal the Republic Act No. 6639 which renamed MIA to NAIA.
On December 10, 1987, the Aquino Administration enacted RA No. 6639 renaming MIA to NAIA. In 2020, there was a petition to nullify the said RA but the petition was junked by the Supreme Court.
