According to Civil Aeronautics Board executive director Carmelo Arcilla, the agreement also
expanded the fifth freedom rights of both countries, by adding China for Singapore upon the requests of low cost carrier Tiger Airways and Jetstar, and
India for the Philippines as PAL would like to re-introduce India via Singapore.
Fifth freedom rights refer to the airline's
right to fly passengers to a third country from a country with which an
airline's resident country has an outstanding air services agreement.
