MANILA—New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), the private operator of Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), has removed 139,158 metric tons of waste and silt from waterways surrounding the airport as part of efforts to mitigate flooding in the area.
The cleanup initiative is aimed at addressing perennial flooding issues that impact NAIA and nearby communities in Parañaque, particularly during the typhoon season. NNIC President Ramon S. Ang emphasized that keeping the airport flood-free is a long-term investment in safety and reliability.
“We’re putting in the infrastructure needed to keep the airport flood-free, but we also need the public’s help. We can only succeed if we all do our part,” Ang said.
