CLARK FREEPORT—The state-run aviation firm Clark International Airport Corporation (CIAC) announced the designation of Nancy Paglinawan as officer-in-charge of the agency.
Paglinawan is the CIAC’s current Vice President for Finance.
She will act as CIAC's interim president replacing Joshua Bingcang who served as the agency’s president since March 17.
Bingcang was appointed by President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., on June 8 as president and chief executive officer of the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA).
CIAC is a subsidiary of the BCDA while the Department of Transportation exercises policy supervision and operational control over the CIAC.
Paglinawan is a certified public accountant who holds a Master’s degree in management from the University of the Philippines.
She served as state auditor in various government agencies before leading the CIAC’s financial team in 2012.
Panglinawan was appointed CIAC’s vice president for finance in 2020.
Despite the decline in the agency’s revenues because of the privatized airport operations, CIAC was able to pay its outstanding bank loans and remit a record number of dividends to the national treasury.
CIAC manages the 2,367-hectare Clark Civil Aviation Complex, home to the Clark International Airport and host to the commercial hub Clark Global City and other locators engaged in manufacturing, information and technology, renewable energy, and other non-aviation-related industries.
