Only a few public agencies are as visible to the public eye and as exposed to media scrutiny as the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), which manages the Ninoy Aquino International Airport terminals. No public facility has been subjected to more constant and carping commentary than our premier airports. The reason for this is simple: We can't help but compare our airports with those we go through in other countries. The ordeal we experience at our overcrowded, ill-equipped, and poorly maintained passenger terminals is the first thing we recall when we lament how far we have lagged behind our neighbors.

City Council approved a $6.2 billion budget for the 2024 fiscal year on Thursday, one which earmarks sizable funds to upgrade Philly's rec centers, clean up business corridors and offer hiring bonuses for certain city jobs. The budget also provides an extra $3 million for mobile crisis response units, which are currently in the middle of a dramatic transformation sparked by 2020 protests against police brutality. Mobile crisis response units are designed to decrease police involvement in mental health crises in order to avoid escalations like the killing of Walter Wallace Jr.

JOCKEY Harry Coffey may be on the verge of a very important career first. Maybe. Or it might just not happen for another 12 months, or more. Maybe. It's an occasion which has been only a few weeks in the making but Coffey and wife Tayla reckon the first appearance of their son Thomas, aged six weeks, at his first Swan Hill Cup, watched by trainer and grandfather Austy, will be a big moment for the local racing dynasty. But, as the little guy's dad concedes, he will be busy with his big book of rides, and the grandfather will be training, so it will be a decision for Tayla.

MANILA, Philippines — Bicol Saro party-list Rep. Brian Raymund Yamsuan has reminded the Manila Electric Company (Meralco) that it should exercise 'extraordinary diligence' as the power distributor of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia), following its admission that a 'procedural lapse' by one of its personnel led to yet another power outage at the Naia Terminal 3 last Friday. Yamsuan stated that aside from Meralco's contractual obligations with the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) to provide electricity to Naia, the power distribution company has a greater responsibility to the people it serves due to its status as a public utility.
