Pampanga airport name needs legislation
CLARK FREEPORT — The Clark International Airport Corporation clarified it did not drop the name of the late President Diosdado Macapagal in the airport, noting the resolution issued by the Board of the Clark Development Corporation in 2001 is “subject to required legislation.”
“To put things in their proper perspective, in the first place the undersigned as president and CEO spoke in behalf of the management of the Clark International Airport Corporation, the operating arm of the Clark International Airport. And management has been tasked by the CIAC Board to implement Board Resolution No. SM-10-05, Series of 2011,” said CIAC President and CEO Victor Jose I. Luciano.
The CIAC Board during its 10th Special Board Meeting on October 14, 2011 approved the said resolution restoring the name of Clark International Airport.
The resolution states that it will restore the name “Clark International Airport” to refer to the Clark Civil Aviation Complex within the Clark Freeport Zone to enhance its international acceptance and to preserve its historical significance.”
The Board resolved further that Terminal 1 will be named as “Diosdado Macapagal Terminal (DMT) in recognition of the legacy of former President Diosdado P. Macapagal as the first Kapampangan to become the President of the Republic of the Philippines.”
It was Clark Development Corporation President and CEO Felipe Antonio B. Remollo, acting chairman who initiated the move to restore the original name of the airport to “Clark International Airport”.
The CIAC Board led by Remollo, Luciano, Directors Jose Ma. Fernandez, Reynaldo Catacutan, Felipe Gerardo Mallari, Bienvenido O. Manga, and Jose R. Simeon, Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) President and CEO Arnel Paciano Casanova and BCDA Chairman Felicito Payuno also concurred in the resolution.
Former CDC President Emmanuel Y. Angeles and the previous CDC Board were behind the renaming of the Clark International Airport to DMIA in July 2001 through a Board Resolution 07-08.
From a historical perspective, the previous CDC Board approved Resolution 07-08 in 2001 renaming Clark International Airport to Diosdado Macapagal International Airport “subject to required legislation.”
The renaming of the Clark International Airport to DMIA was not elevated to the House of Representatives for approval. It had a slim chance of being approved in both lower and upper house, according to some Pampanga politicians.
Political supporters of former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo were behind the move to retain the DMIA name.
