Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus Rodriguez on Wednesday urged Congress to suspend Cebu Pacific's franchise as punishment for its "poor, terrible" service.

“A congressional franchise is a privilege that should not be used and enjoyed at the expense of the public. Congress should temporarily revoke this privilege from Cebu Pacific until it can provide satisfactory service to the riding public,” Rodriguez stressed.
Rodriguez criticized Gokongwei's airline for claiming that the 50% deterioration in service was due to problems with spare parts and maintenance.
"Even if that is true, that is their own lookout. The public should not suffer because of their inefficiency. But to me, that is just palusot. The problem is not the availability of spare parts or maintenance, but Cebu Pacific selling plane tickets when for whatever reason they do not have the necessary aircraft to transport passengers. They should stop selling tickets, period!" the solon said.
