In a video circulating on social media, it shows OFWs with belongings scattered on the floor as they grieve the loss of their hard-earned belongings on their arrival at the NAIA.
Andrew Montes, a deported OFW was complaining about his missing watches and smartphone, which according to him, are amounting to around P60,000. It is worth all of his earnings in working abroad until he was deported and most probably all that he has to start his life in his home country.
Another OFW, a woman, cries as she was checking her bag and discovered that everything she worked for just vanished in thin air.
Pilferage at NAIA is not a new thing. There are many cases where the culprits are caught on CCTV cameras but the same incidents happen every time in spite of the Manila International Airport Authority Chief Ed Monreal's assurance that they will do anything to stop such things from happening again at the airport under his watch.
Update:
Meanwhile, Manila International Airport Authority Chief Ed Monreal said that upon review of the footages from CCTV and personnel body cams, they found no signs of irregularity at the NAIA.
It was further observed from records that eleven (11) previous Saudia Airline flights yielded several reports from Filipino deportees saying they lost items from their luggage which were checked-in by Saudi authorities.
Monreal also appeals to people like Mr. Andrew Montes to use social media responsibly to avoid spreading baseless allegations which drag the whole country to degradation.
