CLARK FREEPORT – “The Clark airport reached new heights and improved a lot under the leadership of Mr. Luciano.”
Thus said Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) workers who stood behind the embattled CIAC President and CEO Victor Jose Luciano.
“The evidence speaks for itself as only Luciano as CIAC president brought in many international and local flights at Clark. It used to be that only birds land at the airport,” said CIAC security department supervisors Allan Simbulan and Terry Martinez in the dialect.
They added that they did not sign the letter to CIAC Board Chairman Nestor Mangio withdrawing their support from the retention of Luciano at his post he held since 2006.
“We have no problem if Luciano is either replaced is retained. But we have confidence in his performance,” they said.
Based on the record of the CIAC Operations Command Center, there are 77 flights per week at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) this month. Only seven of the total weekly flights are local flights carried by Cebu Pacific and Seair.
The Australia-based Pacific Flyer started its operations at DMIA with regular flights to Palau, a US territory, once a week since March.
Rodolfo Dizon, who has been an employee for seven years under the maintenance department of CIAC, said he had signed the letter to Mangio dated July 29 thinking it was in support of Reynante Nanquil and Enrico Layug of the CIAC security department.
Dizon said he had not seen the last portion of the letter containing the withdrawal of support on the retention of Luciano at his post.
Last July 23, Luciano wrote a letter to CIAC Airport Security Department Jose Marlowe Pedregosa asking him to investigate Nanquil and Layug for allegedly distributing “materials containing malicious, derogatory and unfounded statements against the undersigned (Luciano) and this man was allegedly hired by two of your security personnel namely: Nanquil and Layug.”
Simbulan and Martinez disclosed to Punto that Nanquil and Layug “are reporting for work and under investigation.”
“We experience no harassment here,” they added.
Ronald Aquino, head of the airport security inspectorate office, said he had been “at CIAC for many years and Luciano fits well as CIAC top honcho.”
“He treats the workers well. As my peers said, so many flights are operating here now,” he added.
Arnel San Pedro, assistant manager of the CIAC corporate communications department, said “the harassment accusations of Reynante Nanquil and Enrico Layug are baseless and unfounded.
“They were merely asked to explain if they were involved in the proliferation of poison letters against Luciano. They should have taken the issue with him but instead opted to hide under the cloak of the CIAC Union,” he added.
“Union members said they were not informed of Marvin Pineda’s actions because the letter was already drafted when they had a meeting before this came out.
“Yung mga empleyado pinipilit pa nilang pumirma. Pero alam ng mga empleyado ang landas na matuwid,” San Pedro said.
“”Ang mga empleyado na sumusuporta kay Mr. Luciano ay kusang lumagda at hindi pinagpilitan katulad ng ginawa ng mga naninira kay Mr. Luciano. Hindi rin po totoo na pinagiinitan sina Layug, Nanquil at HR Manager Tessiebeth Cordova. Sa katunayan marami na ring natulungang tao ang kanilang sinisiraan na si Mr. Luciano kabilang na dito si Ms. Cordova. Mr. Luciano did not coerce anyone at CIAC. This is just a product of their wild imagination,” said San Pedro.
He also said “he have done much to improve the salaries and perks of the workers.”
