The latest rating of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport-Terminal 1 (NAIA-1) came out the day this lola was to check out of the hospital the previous week, and nobody seemed surprised. “The Guide to Sleeping in Airports” had already ranked it fifth worst in 2010, so what would have really jolted all 92 million of us is if it suddenly zoomed up to best airport. And yet, the question remains. Why is our NAIA-1 the worst airport in the world?
Despite my increasing frailty, I never traveled as much as I have this year. From spending the last New Year in Hong Kong, to the Aawitan Kita sa Amerika 12-show, nine-state concert tour last May in the United States, the 14-day July/August family vacation in Rome and Florence in Italy, now again to do what’s become Aawitan Kita sa Buong Mundo, Nov 3 to 8 in Australia, Nov. 22 to Dec. 3 in Bahrain, Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai, and I am slated to greet 2012 in Bangkok.....

"“And I would like to mention how utterly rude some NAIA personnel are. After immigration, passengers need to line up for the second security check. I did not know that some lines are for men only and some are for women only since there are no signs indicating as such. A female security personnel (or an immigration agent, I am not sure) was telling people about the men-and-women-only schemes, but because of the high level of background noise inside NAIA it is but natural that not everybody heard her. And then she blurted out, “Hay naku, ang hirap sa ibang tao hindi marunong makinig. Nakakainis! Nakakabuwisit! Sinabi na nga na men only ang pila ayaw pa rin sumunod. Ang titigas ng ulo!”"
