None of the passengers and crew aboard the Boeing 737 passenger jet of China’s Xiamen Airlines that skidded off the runway at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport last Thursday was injured, but the chaos resulting from the accident lasted well into Monday. Hundreds of flights have been canceled or diverted and thousands of passengers have been stranded, including Filipino workers bound for jobs overseas.

There have been, predictably, calls from some lawmakers for legislative hearings on the incident, and at least one congressman has suggested that Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) general manager Ed Monreal and Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) director general Jim C. Sydiongco resign as a matter of that nebulous Filipino concept of “delicadeza.”
