Cusi is set to meet with Duterte here but no schedule has been set yet.<\/p>\n\n

Besides heading the MIAA, Cusi also served as head of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) and the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA).<\/p>\n\n

Cusi was appointed director general of the CAAP in March 2010 but resigned\u00a0nine months later\u00a0after public dispute over the appointment without his knowledge of senior management officials at the agency.<\/p>\n\n

In 2004, Cusi was implicated in alleged massive electoral fraud involving then President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. He was cleared by the Ombudsman in 2012.<\/p>\n\n

Cusi is currently chair of the Batangas-based shipping company Starlite Ferries Inc. CDG<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
