“Three government officials enjoy priority landing and takeoff in the country's airports.”
What Vera Files found
More than three government officials enjoy priority landing and takeoff privileges for their flights. This courtesy is also extended to the speaker of the House of Representatives, dignitaries, and other “identified” government officials, such as department secretaries, through a “special handling” of their flights. However, this privilege usually applies only to flights involving chartered private aircraft, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines said.
