Its purpose is to rename the Manila International Airport as the Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
No. It primarily provides for the name change in Section 1 and sets the effectivity in Section 2.
After effectivity, the correct name under RA 6639 is “Ninoy Aquino International Airport,” so “Manila International Airport” would be outdated for official naming.
Two sections: Section 1 provides the renaming; Section 2 provides that the Act takes effect upon approval.
The text shows “Approved: June 17, 1972” signed by Corazon C. Aquino.
Based on the text, it appears limited to renaming; it does not mention governance, regulatory authority, funding, or operational changes.
