Affected passengers and netizens said the incident once again highlighted the incompetence of the airport management and Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya.

NAIA allegedly tried to blame meralco,they got there at 1pm and checked their transformer and all was well! Also allegedly it was due to lack of maintenance on one of the large generators.
A member from the forum had a flight on Cebu pathetic yesterday am but was cancelled and was re arranged for the pm flight and this was also delayed,I think he got there in the end.
It amazes me with everything else, that is amiss here, No one is Checking back up systems at a major Airport.
Just look at the state of any motor on the road jp,no one ever services anything here and preventative measures are non existent. I should imagine nothing is any different and any airport here either.
According to newspapers a substation blew up. I think they meant a switchboard. With no switchboard no power wether or not they had a ups or generator. There is not much they can do in that case.
