With the exception of airports in North America and Europe, there are Terminal Fees/Departure Fees/Exit Fees/Airport Fees, or whatever you want to call it. NAIA is not alone in collecting a fee upon taking a flight, as this happens all over Latin America and Africa.
Incidentally, if you look real close at a receipt of a ticket bought in North America with the ticket price broken down, you will see a line item for 'Passenger Facility Charge' or 'Airport Facility Charge'. The airports there get their fee money too, but it is built into the cost of the airline ticket when you purchase it.
Hope this helps.
I may not very well-traveled to comment on this... but is there any other airport in the world who charges "Terminal Fee"? Dito lang ata ako sa Pilipinas nakakita na pati pagtuntong sa airport, may bayad.
