Based upon the graft case filed against the MIAA chief, they claimed that Jose Angel Honrado was just using the controversial bullet planting (tanim-bala) incidents at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport to justify the installation of the controversial CCTV system which according to some reports worth more than P900,000 each based upon the estimates made by Filipino Patriotism FB Page.
