TRANSPORTATION Secretary Arthur Tugade and General Manager Ed Monreal should quit their posts over the 'international embarrassment' at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) caused by an accident on its main runway last week.

Rep. Winston Castelo of Quezon City, chairman of the Committee on Metro Manila Development at the House of Representatives, said that incident involving a Xiamen Air plane that skidded off the NAIA runway late Thursday night and the government’s response to the situation that stranded thousands of passengers and forced the cancellation or diversion of domestic and international flights was an “embarrassment” and unacceptable.
