From Rappler - 5 hour power outage at NAIA 3 strands thousands of passengers; delays flights
The five hour power outage which hit NAIA terminal 3 was declared a force majeure and therefore airlines could not be held liable for missed and cancelled flightts. . It stranded thousands of passengers and delayed flight 82 flights were cancelled.. It adds to the long woes of Philippine airports as one of the worst in the world. At one time, the ceiling of the said terminal collapsed injuring the passenger.
What could be behind the outage? Meralco declared through its spokesperson that the substation of the airport malfunctioned and therefore power was not flowing in from the grid. Some say it was due to the brown out due to the maintenance procedure of Merlaco. The time of the maintenance and the brown out coincided.
Authorities said that the standby gensets could not sustain the power requirements of the airport.
GM Honrado of MIAA and Sec Abaya were ordered by Malacanang to take steps to prevent such from occurring again. We knew that the two were put on the spot because of the handling of the "tanim bala" events. The two are considered Presidents men thus accountability and responsibility in a professional way cant be pinned down on them
