NAIA-3: Passengers discouraged, not banned,from taking regular taxisJuly 31, 2013 10:39am

NAIA Terminal 3 management has clarified that they discourage, but do not ban,passengers from taking regular metered taxis.

The clarification was issuedafter a group of passengers complained that guardshad blocked the exit gate to the regular taxi loading bay on Sunday.According to Engr. Octavio Lina, NAIA-3 general manager, they only discouragedpassengers from riding regular metered taxis, as they received complaints of hold-ups and taxi drivers negotiating their fares."Kaya nga mayroon tayong accredited taxi rito kasi kung talagang open kamukharito sa departure, talagang medyo mahihirapan talaga tayo magdisiplina ng mgadriver na yun," Lina said in a report on GMA News TV's News to Go on Wednesday."At least kung accredited yan, kaya nating kaagad disiplinahin, ibato natin doonsa operator, o itong driver na ito marami na kaming nakuhang reklamo rito itoyung mga records namin," Lina continued.Dakila Philippines member Nityalila Saulo said that upon arrival at Terminal 3 onJuly 28, airplane passengers discovered that guards had blocked the upper levelexit gate.

This was the only area where people could get to the the loading bay for regularmetered taxis. With the exit blocked, passengers were forced to ride the moreexpensive airport taxis.The guards on duty said they were simply following orders to implement the newpolicy, which had been going on for three days.When Saulo arrived, some 20 to 30 people were speaking with the guard on duty,demanding an explanation for the policy."You have all the right, you have all the freedom to choose. Not all people canafford and not all people who took the plane are that rich enough to just closetheir eyes and pay the amount of the yellow taxi downstairs," said Dakila memberRaymond Domingo, who had been waiting for about 25 minutes when he wasinterviewed in a video by Saulo.Domingo said the policy limited the options for people, who may not have enoughmoney for the airport taxi.After about an hour, the passengers signed a petition and filed a formal complaintagainst the Terminal 3 management. The passengers were then allowed to exit,and were able to ride regular metered taxis at the Departure Area Loading Bay. Carmela G. Lapea/RSJ, GMA News
