Has it come down to this?
In the wake of the five-hour blackout at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3 (NAIA-3), some airport officials are rumored to be exploring supernatural means to get rid of the place’s so-called bad luck.
“Some airport officials attribute the series of mishaps at NAIA-3 — such as a collapsed ceiling, one death, and a couple of suicide attempts — to the fact that in 2006 a security guard died inside the premises of NAIA-3 after he was thrown off a motorcycle,” reports Rudy Santos in The Philippine Star.
Moreover, the report noted that “other superstitious airport officials also pointed out that when NAIA-3 was constructed, a whole community and a chapel across the street were demolished and the ‘desecration’ now needs to be rectified.”
It also worth noting, though, that “a new and bigger church had already been built on the site of the previous one.”
As such, the report indicated, “an airport official, who refused to be identified, claimed that he had recommended to NAIA-3 manager Octavio Lina to consult a feng shui expert.” The official added that “Lina said he might suggest the idea to Honrado for approval.”
The official said that the feng shui expert and other local shamans “could identify what could be wrong with the building’s design and even conduct rituals to exorcise the terminal of evil spirits.”
