was crippled by a power outage, Manila International Airport Authority head Cesar Chiong is once again in the hot seat. But instead of grappling with technical glitches, he is facing legal issues this time.
In an order dated April 28, the Ombudsman said that Chiong had reassigned about 285 MIAA employees in less than a year, a process which he begun just a month after he assumed his position on July 20, 2022. Chiong is also accused of abusing his authority after he appointed Irene Montalbo – who is now also placed under preventive suspension for the same charges – as the acting assistant general manager for finance and administration despite her “unsatisfactory rating in 2020.” Montalbo was also said to have participated in the reassignment of MIAA employees, given the scope of her position.
“The country’s main airport faces extremely difficult challenges, and we have started to implement plans and programs that aim to enhance passenger experience at our country’s main gateway,” he added.
