In the theater of Philippine politics, where ego and power intertwine, we find Joseph Morong reporting on the curious case of Ramon Ang, head of San Miguel Corporation, and his stance on the renaming of NAIA to MIA. As SMC wins the bid to oversee operations, Ang’s opposition to the change raises eyebrows. If only he diverted some of his attention from boardrooms to social media, he might sense the overwhelming public outcry to strip NAIA of its pseudo-heroic facade. However, amidst this melodrama, a glimmer of hope emerges: Ang acknowledges the limits of his influence. For once, a titan of industry concedes that the fate of a national landmark lies not in his hands, but in the realm of law. So let us watch with bated breath as the saga unfolds, and perhaps, just perhaps, reason might prevail over ego.
