MANILA, Philippines — The country’s aviation regulator has introduced a digital portal for reporting and addressing safety issues.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) on Wednesday launched a Safety Reports Portal aimed at streamlining the reporting process and helping to quickly identify and address aviation safety risks.
The implementation of the safety portal is classified into mandatory and voluntary reporting.
Mandatory reporting covers aviation incidents, accidents, serious incidents, and other safety-related occurrences. Voluntary reporting, meanwhile, includes observations of latent conditions, insights on human factors, operation anomalies, unsafe situations, suggestions for safety improvements, and self-disclosure of non-compliance.
This mandate is issued in accordance with the Philippine Civil Aviation Regulation (PCAR) and applies to all organizations, personnel, and individuals involved in reporting safety-related events to CAAP, whether mandatory or voluntary. It covers all certificated and approved aviation entities, licensed aviation professionals, and any individual with direct knowledge of aviation safety occurrences.

The CAAP’s safety enhancement measure is part of the broader effort to ensure that the Philippines remains aligned with global aviation safety standards and best practices.
CAAP said that it also reflected the vision of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon for a modernized, responsive, and secure aviation industry.
