STATE-LED Clark International Airport Corp. (CIAC) has named Nancy C. Paglinawan as its new officer-in-charge amid changes in the leadership of the agency.
CIAC said in a statement on Wednesday that Ms. Paglinawan will act as its interim president after the previous president, Joshua M. Bingcang, was appointed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. as the new president and chief executive officer of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA) on June 8.
The Department of Transportation exercises policy supervision and operational control over CIAC, which is a BCDA subsidiary.
Ms. Paglinawan, the current vice-president for finance since 2020, was designed by CIAC’s board of directors. She is a certified public accountant and has a Master’s Degree in Management from the University of the Philippines.
Before joining CIAC’s financial team in 2012, Ms. Paglinawan served as a state auditor in various government agencies.
“In spite of the decline in the agency’s revenues because of the privatized airport operations, Paglinawan enabled the CIAC to pay all of its outstanding bank loans and remit a record number of dividends to the national treasury,” CIAC said.
CIAC manages the 2,367-hectare Clark Civil Aviation Complex, which houses the Clark International Airport and hosts the mixed-use commercial hub Clark Global City and other locators engaged in manufacturing, information and technology, renewable energy, and other non-aviation-related industries. — Revin Mikhael D.
