Following the recent incident involving the NAIA, the seven members of the Joint Foreign Chambers (JFC) joined by other business groups called on the House and Senate to reconsider the bill creating the PTSB and approve the same in the 19th Congress.
FOLLOWING the recent incident involving the Ninoy Aquino International Airport , the seven members of the Joint Foreign Chambers joined by other business groups called on the House and Senate to reconsider the bill creating the Philippine Transportation Safety Board and approve the same in the 19th Congress.
The business groups said the incident was a “strong reminder” of the need to pass legislation creating the Philippine Transportation Safety Board . Because most of these agencies are also tasked to regulate and/or operate the sector, the business groups said “there is an inherent conflict of interest in the performance of their duties as investigating bodies.”
The stakeholders expressed optimism that the current Congress can “refine” the bill so that the reasons cited for the veto can be addressed.
