At NAIA, assistance from airport personnel is free. No tips, no gifts, no direct payment to anyone for doing their job. This applies to everyone working at the airport.

However, personalized services arranged by passengers, as in other airports, are paid services. These must be booked and paid for only through official channels, never directly to airport personnel.

If anyone asks for something in return for helping you, let us know through our official customer feedback channels, and we will act on it.

And if someone goes out of their way to serve you well, share their name and story so we can recognize those who go the extra mile.

Air cargo warehouse at Ninoy Aquino International Airport is taking a toll on the Philippines’ industry, with one global technology company already suspending production of one of its product lines — and fears growing that others could follow.

Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Ferdinand Ferrer said the capacity crunch is disrupting shipments of wafers, storage devices, and other semiconductor components, all of which move exclusively by air.

Ferrer, who is also chairman and chief executive of electronics manufacturer EMS Group of Companies, said clearance performance has deteriorated sharply: last year, 95% of air shipments passing through NAIA warehouses were cleared in under three days, but that figure has since fallen to 76%, undermining manufacturers’ ability to meet tight turnaround commitments.

“The situation is alarming and needs high-level government intervention, not only from BOC (Bureau of Customs),” said Erich Lingad, immediate past president of the Philippine Multimodal Transport and Logistics Association Inc. and president of Move It Multimodal Transport & Logistics, warning that more manufacturers could be forced to halt operations if shipments continue to be delayed.

Ligtas nang nakabalik sa Pilipinas ang natitirang Filipino crew ng M/V CMA CGM San Antonio noong 15 Hunyo 2026, sakay ng Oman Air Flight WY 843 na lumapag sa NAIA Terminal 1 pasado alas-10:00 ng gabi.

Emosyonal ang kanyang pagdating matapos siyang ma-discharge sa ospital at mabigyan ng clearance na maaari nang bumiyahe pauwi sa bansa. Kasama niyang dumating ang kanyang kapatid na nag-alaga at umalalay sa kanya habang siya ay nagpapagaling sa Oman.

Sinalubong siya ng kanyang maybahay, kasama ang mga kawani ng Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) at Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA) sa pangunguna ni Assistant Secretary Julyn Ambito Fermin, gayundin ng mga kinatawan ng kanyang licensed manning agency (LMA). Agad silang nabigyan ng airport and financial assistance, pati na rin ng tulong medikal mula sa Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) medical team, katuwang ang New NAIA International Airport Corp. (NNIC).

Katulad ng naunang anim na crew na nakauwi na sa bansa, sasailalim siya sa medical examination at psychosocial counseling na inihanda ng kanyang LMA bago tuluyang makauwi sa kanilang probinsya.

Alinsunod sa tagubilin ng Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., ang ligtas na pagbabalik ng Filipino crew ay naisakatuparan ng pamahalaan sa tulong ng kanyang shipowner, sa pakikipagtulungan ng Migrant Workers Office (MWO), Philippine Embassy sa Oman, Oman authorities, kasama ang kanyang LMA sa Pilipinas.

The Bureau of Customs – Ninoy Aquino International Airport (BOC-NAIA) intercepted two inbound parcels containing approximately 505 grams of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride, locally known as shabu, with an estimated street value of ₱3.43 million during an examination conducted on 16 June 2026 at the Central Mail Exchange Center (CMEC).

The parcels were examined after being flagged during customs screening and risk assessment procedures. A physical inspection subsequently revealed the suspected illegal drugs concealed within the shipments.

BOC personnel immediately coordinated with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), the NAIA Inter-Agency Drug Interdiction Task Group (NAIA-IADITG), and other concerned authorities to conduct the necessary testing, inventory, and case documentation.

A claimant who appeared to have received the parcels was subsequently apprehended and turned over to the appropriate authorities for further investigation and filing of charges.

The seized substances tested positive for methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu. Appropriate charges are being prepared for violations of Republic Act No. 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, in relation to relevant provisions of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act (RA 10863).

The operation supports the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. to strengthen border protection and intensify the government’s campaign against illegal drugs and other forms of smuggling.

Customs Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno commended the coordinated efforts of BOC-NAIA, PDEA, NAIA-IADITG, and partner enforcement agencies in preventing the entry of illegal drugs into the country.

Under the leadership of District Collector Yasmin Obillos-Mapa, BOC-NAIA continues to strengthen its enforcement and inspection capabilities through close coordination with partner agencies, contributing to Commissioner Nepomuceno’s campaign to enhance border security and prevent the entry of illegal drugs and other contraband.
