Ph Village Hotel security risk to NAIA-2- MIAA
By Nidz Godino
Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) said derelict Philippine Village Hotel poses safety and security risk to Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 2 (NAIA-2) and 250th Presidential Airlift Wing.
In June 20 letter to Pasay City Mayor Imelda Calixto-Rubiano, MIAA officer-in-charge Bryan Andersen Co said Philippine Village Hotel Inc. (PVHI) and other parties have been preventing MIAA from securing hotel.
Hotel was owned by PVHI, which reportedly owes P270 million to Government Service Insurance System (GSIS).
In March, MIAA and GSIS were reported to be in talks to settle MIAA's takeover of hotel property.
Describing structure as abandoned, Co said hotel is "susceptible to trespassing, vandalism and other criminal activities including possibility of terrorist activities being planned or executed from within structure."
Originally envisioned in 1999 as domestic hub, NAIA-2 can serve nine million passengers annually.
Co requested MIAA be allowed to secure hotel not only from criminals, but also from natural and manmade disasters.
He cited two incidents when MIAA personnel and equipment sent to put out fires in hotel were barred from entering, violating Fire Code of the Philippines.
The first incident was on Nov. 20, 2021, when MIAA fire trucks were prevented from responding to basement fire at the hotel.
Last June 7, MIAA fire brigade was only allowed entry 15 minutes after arriving at the hotel, but only when accompanied by airport security personnel.
Co also asked Rubiano to order comprehensive structural assessment of hotel to determine its level of risk for structural failure, collapse and damage that may warrant its demolition.
He noted that magnitude 6.3 quake felt in Metro Manila last June 15 highlights need to assess hotel due to its proximity to NAIA-2 and aircraft movement areas.
