Laoag - manila during the time of ondoy. We literally hit ondoy during the flight. We were circling clark for a while because the captain said we cannot land at naia because the ils was not functioning and zero visibility. Terrible turbulence in the entire flight! Some people got really sick and the crew ran out of barf bags. Turbulence was a mixture of rough flight (matagtag), the plane dropping, and sometimes I can feel that the plane is somewhat fish tailing. Lahat na yata ng Santo natawag ko na. I was seated in the rear area where the toilet was located and an old lady who used it maybe lost he balance inside and panicked, banging on the door. Flight attendants came running which made me so nervous. All of this was happening while there was a terrible turbulence.

The one hour trip became more three hours, and we landed at iloilo (we were diverted there apparently). Got stuck there for more than two hours. Flight back from iloilo to manila was fairly quiet with some isolated turbulence which gave me the jitters because of the earlier experience.

Surprisingly the landing at naia was smooth considering that the landing was said to be visual because the landing aids at naia was f*Ckd up. However we were stuckat the tarmac for around two hours because our plane had no parking space. After disembarking, we were stuck naman sa airport for more than 5 hours because of the flooding. No taxi or even private vehicles was able to reach the airport...

Well, that is my story and I hope it won't happen again...
