Last saturday, for some reason that I do not know, around 179 CHINESE tourists attacked the Pilot and First officer of a Cebu Pacific flight bound for Shanghai inside the Kalibo Airport. They held hostage the pilot for atleast 2 hours and resisted the police officers and airport security personnel who responded in the incident. the worst is, as far as I know, no criminal charges were filed against these tourists after a negotation was done. They are now accomodated in a hotel as their flight was rescheduled tomorrow...

Utak bully talaga ang mga taga-Mainland China grabe!

Naalala ko tuloy yung video ng isang Chinese na matandang lalaki na hinaharass ang isang foreigner (Westerner yata, white guy) sa loob ng train. Hindi nakapagpigil yung puti ayun binigyan ng isa ang Chinese guy ayun tulog sa isang sapak!

hay nako dapat ilagay sa tamang kalagyan ang mga yan....

^ So what do you think happened to MH370?

[niky]

The incident has to be put into context. The passengers were hysterical because of what happened to Flight MH370.

MH370 was like China's 9/11. Remember how people in the US beat up Muslims in the street afterwards? Same thing. People are edgy, panicky and scared ****less.

I'm a Chinoy but I won't condone such actions. These mainlanders really march to a different tune. Even when I deal with them they're shrewd. Just my observation.

Different case yan, sir.

Kahit walang nangyari sa MH370, ganyan parin ang kanilang ugali. Been working/living with them for time and for the past 15 years, walang nabago sa kanila. Much worst pa nga nung nakakalabas na sila ng mainland. To them, the world is the same as the mainland they have lived for thousand years.

Some clarification. No hostage taking occured. No punching daw, just a language barrier to explain to the mainlanders what happened. And no hotel accomodation were initially offered to the mainlanders.

MANILA, Philippines— Two pilots of the Cebu Pacific flight 5J-074 have been confronted by an irate Chinese passenger for turning back to the Kalibo International Airport from Shanghai.

The incident happened early Saturday night soon after the jetliner landed at the airport.

Contrary to reports that a hostage taking happened at the airport involving two Filipino pilots and a Chinese national, police said Monday it was merely a heated argument that caught the attention of the authorities.

Police Officer 3 Nida Gregas, Aklan Police Provincial Office Public Information Office officer, told INQUIRER.net in a phone interview that tourist Xue We Lang was infuriated and yelled at Captain Johnny Pintoy and a certain Flight Officer Avila after their flight bound for Shanghai turned back to Kalibo due to bad weather.

Contrary to a radio flash report, Gregas said no mauling occurred.

Gregas said the Cebu Pacific flight was boarded by178 Chinese passengers. It left Kalibo early Saturday evening but due to zero visibility in China the pilots were left with no choice but to return to Kalibo. At about 11 p.m., Cebu Pacific flight 5J-074 touched down the Kalibo airport.

This irked Xue.

“While the pilots were on their way to the terminal building at the airport, they were blocked by Xue,” Gregas said.

As they were intercepted by Xue, Gregas said the Chinese tourist, who was speaking in his native language, confronted the ‎pilots, apparently angry for turning back to the Philippines.

Police said Xue was also angry because allegedly no hotel accommodations were given to stranded passengers.

‎The Aklan police officer said what made the situation worse was the absence of an interpreter while the pilots were negotiating with Xue.

Led by Inspector Jayjay Domingo, the Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group‎ quickly went to the airport.

Gregas said the airport authorities held the pilots and the Chinese tourist for 30 minutes for questioning.

“Around 4 a.m. Sunday, the interpreter came and explained to Xue that they cannot travel to Shanghai with the current weather condition there for their safety,” the female police officer said.

‎Also, there were no formal complaints filed by the airlines against the Chinese tourist.

Xue was scheduled to fly back to Shanghai Monday afternoon as the case was settled amicably by both parties.

I've been on the receiving end of foreign arrogance, but in this case, I'm pretty sure that Cebu Pacific had a lot to do with their agitation.

Kung yung mga Pinoy lang, nag-a-amok dahil sa CebuPac, paano pa kaya mga Chinese na di marunong mag-Ingles?

[chua_riwap]

nasa dep area na sila since 11:59 pm. at 3am, andun pa rin sila, walang free (hotel) accomodation.

naku cebu pac pa. good luck......

nakupo!!! may karapatang magalit ang mga pasahero dahil walang accomodation. nagkataong nasanay lang tayo sa kabastusan ng cebu pacific. grabe ang customer service ng cebpac, super walang kwenta. i dont mind shelling out few hundreds or even thousand pesos in exchange for a better, more humane service. mura nga, bastos naman.

--Di talaga pumalag ang 5J na bigyan ng FREE food and lodging yung mga mainlanders. It's not their responsibility if the delay was caused by bad weather daw. Yung tour organizer ang sumagot sa gastos...

At 3 a.m. the Chinese passengers saw the pilots at the arrival area and encircled and confronted them.
“They were demanding food and hotel accommodations,” Aspera said.

“The pilots tried to explain to the passengers that airlines do not provide free accommodations if the flight cancellation or suspension was due to bad weather but the passengers were insistent. It was also difficult to communicate with them because of language problems,” Aspera said.

The flight had 179 passengers but it was unclear how many took part in the incident.

Airport police questioned one of the passengers, Xue Welang, for allegedly instigating the commotion, according to the incident report of the Aviation Security Group.

Aspera said no complaints were filed against any of the unruly Chinese passengers because the Cebu Pacific pilots opted not to file a formal complaint.

She said the tour organizer provided hotel accommodations to the stranded passengers.

Some of the passengers took a different flight to Manila and a connecting flight to Shanghai. Most of them were to take a chartered Cebu Pacific flight at 6:55 p.m. on Monday.

Aklan Gov. Florencio Miraflores said he sought an explanation from the Caap on its failure to immediately report the incident.

“I learned about it only on Monday morning. It was fortunate that the tension was diffused,” Miraflores told the Inquirer.

Aspera explained that they had to gather information from the airline, airport police and Caap personnel.—With a report from Niña P. Calleja

Why didn't the pilot pick other alternate airports?

[chris_d]

Dami rin galit sa flight namin na delayed rin from Shanghai to Manila nung Mar 29, nde daw kasi makakapag land yung plane from MNL due to poor visibility, below daw sa ceiling na allowed sa kanila. Ang masama nde nag uupdate ng status dun sa information board sa airport tapos walang tao dun sa counter na nag iinform sa amin. Ang naka note lang na cancelled flight from Clark na 5J rin, other than that isang other flight ang cancelled. Lumampas na yung departure time wala pa rin yung plane so clueless kaming lahat kung ano nangyari kung nag crash or what. Finally nag explain yung local staff ng Cebu Pac kung ano nga nangyari, ayun sobrang galit lahat ng mga passengers, most of whom were not Filipinos, three lang yata kami na pinoy sa flight na yun. Nagsisigawan na rin yung mga ibang passengers at dumating na yung mga airport police. Feeling ko kaunti na lang baka bugbugin na yung staff ng Cebu Pacific dun.

Wala rin ma offer Cebu Pac sa amin na kahit anong accomodations. Had to sleep in the terminal since puno yung isang airport hotel dun.

Before departing they gave all the passengers a sandwich and bottled water. Yun lang. Our flight finally landed in MNL around 17 hours late.

Those mainlanders were lucky...

Passengers locked inside Dragonair jet for seven hours | News.com.au

Flight KA875 took off from Shanghai at 6.30pm (9.30am AEDT) on Sunday with 252 passengers on board but was diverted to nearby Shenzhen airport when Hong Kong was deluged by rain and hail.

A power failure stopped the flight from continuing on to its intended destination when conditions improved, and passengers were forced to stay on the tarmac for seven hours, a spokeswoman for Cathay Pacific, which owns Dragonair, told AFP.

“The initial plan was to re-depart to Hong Kong as soon as the weather condition allowed ... regrettably, the delay was further extended when there were technical problems with the aircraft’s auxiliary power unit,’’ the spokeswoman said in a written statement.

“We sincerely apologise that as Shenzhen is not an operating port for Dragonair, the deplaning process (took) longer than expected because of constraints in local ground handling and immigration clearance,’’ she said.

The stranded passengers were left with little food and water, leading some to shout at the flight crew while others were restrained from leaving by attendants guarding the cabin door, the South China Morning Post reported.

A “special clearance’’ was obtained Monday morning to let passengers alight, some 11 hours after departure.
