Food prices at NAIA to go down, says Ang
The Philippine Star
|October 24, 2024
From a malfunctioning baggage handling system to abandoned cars at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport NAIA), Ramon S. Ang or RSA, it seems, has inherited such a dizzying tas of managing the country s main gateway.
-
But the tycoon now in charge of xing NAIA is unfazed.
“Parang ang sakit sa ulo!” I told him on Tuesday afternoon when news of Terminal s baggage handling system spread on social media.
Not really, he said. I guess he meant it s just part of the job.
“Hindi masakit sa ulo,” said RSA with his usual cool and energetic vibe.
What s not cool though, he said, is when the information going around is wrong – whether deliberately or otherwise.
For instance, as news of the baggage malfunction circulated on Tuesday afternoon, some netizens said that another problem that passengers will soon face is more expensive prices of food at NAIA.
This is not true, RSA assured, saying that prices would soon be at par with the cost of eating in malls, “so prices will be cheaper.”
I am loo ing forward to this because it is a fact that food and other goods are sold at higher prices in NAIA.
RSA said the reason for this is that in the past, there were layers of lessors and sub-lessors.
