MANILA, Philippines – The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) will start this month the construction of communal toilets or all-gender restrooms in airports.
It will also rehabilitate existing comfort rooms at 41 CAAP-run commercial airports in the country as part of its Gender Awareness Development (GAD) program.
CAAP said the gender-neutral restrooms will be initially built at the CAAP central office in Metro Manila, and 11 other airports namely: Busuanga, Butuan, Calbayog, Cauyan, Dipolog, Legaspi, Masbate, Naga, Pagadian, Puerto Princesa, and Tuguegarao passenger terminal buildings.
Under the GAD program, CAAP will build facilities that will shelter people waiting for the arrival of passengers.
