00:00 The Manila International Airport Authority has already followed the Naia Terminal 3
00:05 to make sure that there are no more traces of the pest and also that the authorities have admitted
00:11 that they have a shortage of pest control equipment.
00:14 It is not enough.
00:16 And that is what Darlene Cai is pointing out.
00:18 I heard that the passenger from Naia Terminal 3, Jacinto,
00:24 is extra careful now because of the reported traces of the pest in some seats in the airport.
00:29 I was aware of it. I was able to take a seat because there might be a pest.
00:34 But the passengers in the arrival area of Naia Terminal 3 did not see any pest or any insect.
00:40 The seats were already cleaned.
00:43 This is what the seats look like here in Naia Terminal 3.
00:46 After the video was taken, the pest was cleaned one by one by the MIAA.
00:52 It was cleaned, given chemical treatment, exposed to sunlight and was quarantined before returning here.
00:59 Last week, we followed the test.
01:02 The seats were different, right?
01:04 Now, it's okay.
01:06 Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Eric Ines admitted...
01:11 We all have a shortage. I admit it.
01:14 I mean, maybe, I didn't look at it carefully.
01:18 I don't want to say that I was careless.
01:23 I work there. I don't want to teach.
01:25 Aside from the process of cleaning 8,000 gang chairs in Terminal 3,
01:29 all the seats in other Naia Terminal 3 were also inspected,
01:33 including the investigation of the previous pest in the airport.
01:37 The responsibility of the contracted pest control company, which they did not mention, is also being studied.
01:44 I told them that if there is a repeat of the same thing, I will revoke what needs to be revoked.
01:49 The process of buying new seats is also being accelerated.
01:54 They should be the ones to realize that the steps we are taking now are steps that are leading to a better flight.
02:05 Our number one priority is the convenience of the passengers.
02:11 For GMA Integrated News, Darlene Cai, for Tutok Tliligay, 24 hours.
