After CAAP officials reported their findings on the most likely cause of the glitch to DOTr Secretary Jaime J. Bautista, DICT Secretary Ivan John Uy offered to assist CAAP in expediting acquisition of the needed upgrade and repair packs.At the interagency meeting, National Security Adviser Clarita Carlos suggested that such communications and electrical equipment are vital to national security, thereby facilitating any purchase and preventing a repeat of the incident.
After the meeting, heads and representatives toured the affected equipment and facilities inside the CAAP compound.IN a statement, the GCG, meanwhile, said it has directed the CAAP to submit a report on the circumstances surrounding the air traffic management issues experienced by NAIA earlier this week. The GCG added that CAAP was given three working days to submit the report.
GCG said based on its records the Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance/ Air Traffic Management system of CAAP was a strategic target in CAAP’s 2017 Performance Scorecard and its transition and implementation were the agency’s strategic target in its 2018 and 2019 scorecards.
