The news for all OFWs

Another OFW whose baggage was opened by NAIA Personnel

Here’s what Glad Broce posted on her facebook account.

What’s scary about this is that Cebu Pacific don’t even feel accountable about the whole incident, they (CebPac) make excuses and will not even spend much effort in investigating what really happened. Specially if they know that Ms. Broce only have a limited time in the Philippines.

NAIA Terminal 3 (March 3, 2018 1AM)

Gaano ba talaga karami ang mga magnanakaw dyan? Bat hanggang ngayon hindi pa din maubos-ubos? Yung tatlong locks ng maleta ko, pinilit buksan. Kita sa video na sinira yung dalawa. Tapos yung de-number na lock, nakapindot din yung mga numbers. Hinuhulaan siguro yung code.
Sabi ng Cebu Pacific, within 24hrs eh magbibigay sila ng update. Wala pa din ngayon. Ano na? Ganun na lang?

Direct flight ‘to from Narita(Japan) to NAIA Terminal 3.

UPDATE#1: Cebu Pacific just tried to offer me 2,000 pesos for compensation. Based daw sa investigation nila, possible na dahil sa movement lang daw ng eroplano kaya nasira yung mga locks ko. MOVEMENT NG EROPLANO?? Sabi ko ang galing naman gumalaw nung eroplano kasi mga kandado ko lang talaga yung pinuntirya. Tinanong ko kung nacheck ba nila yung mga CCTV sa airport, hindi daw kasi mahirap daw irequest yun. So pano sila nakarating sa conclusion na walang gumalaw sa maleta ko? Tatawag na lang daw sya ulit mamaya.

UPDATE#2: After countless calls and emails, Cebu Pacific delivered a new luggage to my house the night before my flight back to Japan. Regarding sa CCTV, wala daw silang authority na icheck yun. Kung gusto ko daw, ako daw ang pumunta ng NAIA Terminal 3 para mag-request. Nakaalis na po ako ulit ng bansa, balik-trabaho na naman. Wish ko lang na wala na pong maka-experience ng ganto lalo na sa mga tulad kong OFW. Hindi naman ‘to isolated case. Sobrang daming nag-ppm sakin and nagcocomment sa post sharing their own experiences. Kadalasan pinapalagpas na lang nila kasi hassle pa maghabol.

I’ve embedded the video below;

I’m an OFW and this always worries me when going home, which is not supposed to be the case, since the Philippines is our home country and we should feel safe when going home and not like this. Hopefully NAIA Authorities will do something about these kind of people.
