Miascor Aviation Sevices said on Friday it will formally issue an appeal to the President Rodrigo Duterte to reconsider his position of terminating its contract in Clark airport in Pampanga following a recent luggage theft incident involving its employees. The appeal will be made in behalf of its almost 4,000 regular employees and their families who will be affected, Miascor said in a statement. "It is unfortunate that the actions of six erring employees in Clark International Airport have negatively impacted the Company," Miascor said as it expressed sincere regret over the recent incident. "We would like to stress that we do not tolerate this type of behavior from any of our employees. Miascor is committed to conducting its business with the highest standards of compliance and ethics. And every employee is expected to demonstrate professionalism, honesty and integrity," it said. Miascor said it has been in operations since 1974 and has presence in several key airports in the country, including the Ninoy Aquino Internatiomal Airport, providing aviation services. Duterte became irked after the luggage and boxes of Filipino passengers in Clark airport were looted. Upon investigation, it was found that Miascor's employees were responsible for the incident. The workers were charged and dismissed from work. Celerina Monte/DMS
