MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Despite the clamor from many Filipinos and international airlines for NAIA to revert to its original name, Manila International Airport (MIA), the Manila International Airport Authority decided against it. The decision is final.

However, the airport authority announced that only the acronym remains the same. What its stands for has been slightly changed to: Nora Aunor International Airport (NAIA).

The unanimous decision was arrived at to honor the Filipina superstar who has been named last year as one of the new National Artists.

A great tribute indeed!
