AC mutli-sectoral group calls for the ouster of Luciano
ANGELES CITY – Various multi-sectoral organizations in this city appealed to Malacañang to replace Victor Jose Luciano as president and chief executive officer of the Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) instead of pushing through with the renaming of the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) to Clark International Airport (CIA).
The Angeles City Multi-Sector Consultative Council issued a manifesto denouncing the move to rename the airport and instead requested President Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III to remove Luciano from his post as CIAC head.
According to the group, Luciano is being insensitive to what the Kapampangans and the Filipinos in general would feel (on the issue of renaming DMIA to CIA), who respect and hold high regards to the legacy of the late President Diosdado Pangan Macapagal.
In their manifesto, the group appealed to President Aquino not to be swayed by the proposals of Luciano.
“Rather than changing the name of the airport, the president should definitely consider replacing Luciano himself,” the group said.
“Para sa amin, walang malinaw na basehan ang panukala ni Luciano, kundi ang lantarang pagsisisip sa kasalukuyang administrasyon,” said Bhot Mangulabnan, a spokesperson of the group.
“Ang panukalang ibalik sa Clark International Airport ang pangalan ng DMIA ay produkto ng sagad-sagarang kaisipang kolonyal,” he added.
The group adds that Clark Air Base is a former military installation of the United States, which became a symbol of incursion and American supremacy here in the Philippines and in Asia.
Covering 2,500 hectares, the Clark Aviation Complex used to be the central facility in the Clark Air Base of the United States Air Force until 1991 when the Senate ordered all US military bases in the Philippines closed and American troops pulled out.
Clark Air Base was named in honor of Major Harold Clark of the US Army Signal Corps who died in a seaplane crash in Panama Canal in 1919. In honor of this aviation pioneer, the American government changed the name of Fort Stotsenberg into Clark.
“Napalayas na natin ang mga Kano, kaya walang dahilan na panatilihin pa natin ang pangalang Clark hindi lamang sa airport, kundi sa buong lugar na ngayon ay ginawa na nating isang malayang kalakalan o Freeport zone,” the group stressed.
At the same time, the multi-sectoral group said they will also conduct protest rallies and mass actions to prevent Luciano from implementing the CIAC board resolution renaming DMIA to CIA.
The CIAC board during its 10th special meeting on October 14, 2011 approved the resolution restoring the name of CIA.
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.
CIAC clarified, however, that it did not drop Macapagal’s name in the airport, noting that the Terminal 1 will be named as Diosdado Macapagal Terminal (DMT) to recognize the legacy of former President Diosdado P. Macapagal as the first Kapampangan to become the President of the Republic of the Philippines.
Clark International Airport was renamed to DMIA in July 2001 through a board resolution in honor of the late President Macapagal.
