They are NOT going to close NAIA, full stop. Its a rumour, nothing more.
The plan is to use Clark for some international flights to help reduce the load on NAIA. That's all. Panic over.
By the way, Hong Kong's airport is in a very convenient place, with probably the best public transport in the world linking it to all parts of the country. The old Kai Tak had to close, it could not expand and had reached capacity a long time ago.
