NAIA operator announces biometric gates for Terminal 3, dining upgrades

NEW NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC), which operates Metro Manila’s main airport, said it will install biometric Immigration e-Gates at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 and upgrade its dining and lounge offerings.

In a statement on Monday, NNIC said it will install 78 biometric immigration e-Gates in phases, with some gates now operational at Terminals 1 and 3 for international flights.

“Delivered and funded by NNIC as part of its airport modernization program, the rollout allows new technology to be implemented more quickly at the country’s main gateway,” NNIC said. 

The e-Gates allow eligible passengers to clear immigration in about 20 seconds through biometric checks and document scans, cutting congestion at peak times without weakening border security.

“The platform is powered by Amadeus, a global travel technology company that provides advanced solutions to airports, airlines, and border authorities worldwide, supporting secure and seamless passenger processing across major international hubs,” it added.

NNIC will also open two food halls at Terminal 3. The 6,200-sq.m. Tambayan Food Hall seats up to 2,000 guests with 17 Filipino brands, and the 6,801-sq.m. Mezzanine Food Hall seats 600 guests with 22 restaurants and cafés. It is also launching a Food Village (airside).

It will also open a Dignitaries Lounge at Terminal 3 for up to 61 VIPs.

The company added that similar upgrades for passengers and systems are in the works at other terminals.

“This shows how this partnership with the government is delivering improvements that the public can actually see and feel. As we enter the new year, we look forward to continuing this work and building on what is already in place,” NNIC President Ramon S. Ang said.

The NAIA public-private partnership has sent over P57 billion in remittances to the government so far. — Alexandra Grace C. Magno

Hong Kong is stepping up its digital finance ambitions with a policy blueprint that places tokenization at the core of banking innovation.  In the 2025 Policy Address, Chief Executive John Lee outlined measures that will see the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) encourage commercial banks to roll out tokenized deposits and expand the city’s live tokenized-asset transactions. Hong Kong’s Project Ensemble to Drive Tokenized Deposits Lee confirmed that the HKMA will “continue to take forward Project Ensemble, including encouraging commercial banks to introduce tokenised deposits, and promoting live transactions of tokenised assets, such as the settlement of tokenised money market funds with tokenised deposits.” The initiative aims to embed tokenized deposits, bank liabilities represented as blockchain-based tokens, into mainstream financial operations. These deposits could facilitate the settlement of money-market funds and other financial instruments more quickly and efficiently.

Tokenized Bonds to Become a Regular Feature Beyond deposits, the government intends to make tokenized bond issuance a permanent element of Hong Kong’s financial markets. After successful pilots, including green bonds, the HKMA will help regularize the issuance process to build deep and liquid markets for digital bonds accessible to both local and international investors.
