is under fire. You don’t need to be an experienced sleuth to see that all the copy-pasted attacks from different media platforms are meant to break his will which – those pulling the strings hope – would make him quit his job.
Bautista has a long list of achievements in the private sector. He could have easily enjoyed his retirement, but the call of duty, he told me, “is hard to ignore.” He previously served as president and chief operating officer of Philippine Airlines from 2004 to 2012, and again from 2014 to 2019.

From my reading of the entire motion it was clear to me that there was presumption of regularity when Chiong did what he was accused of. Moreover, these reassignments were done upon the recommendation of the Airport Police Department chief and the assistant general manager for Security and Emergency Services.
About 84 or 29.5% of the reassigned personnel were non-airport police employees who were temporarily assigned as officers-in-charge in view of the leave of absence of an incumbent, or those who required a designation change. The changes in designation were necessitated by ongoing organizational review and modification within the airport terminals managed by MIAA. These 84 reassignments occurred over an eight-month period, from August 2022 to March 2023.
