Yes that's right, not a westerner being bad and making the papers this time, not sure if it will or has made the Philippine papers.

UNRULY FILIPINO PASSENGER INJURES FLIGHT ATTENDANT

Cathay Pacific Airways says a passenger assaulted a crew member on a Bangkok-to-Hong Kong flight before being restrained by two passengers and other staff members.

The Hong Kong airline said in a statement that a female flight attendant was slightly injured in Monday's incident and hospitalised briefly.

Cathay thanked the two passengers, who were slightly injured but did not need to go to hospital. The other 398 passengers and 16 crew members aboard were not hurt.

Hong Kong newspapers reported that a 52-year-old Filipino man was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

‘Special envoy’ offloaded

An “unruly” Filipino passenger, identified by airport insiders as one of the country’s special envoys, was offloaded Monday from a Hong Kong-bound Cathay Pacific flight.

In an air safety and hazard report filed with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), Cathay Pacific did not name the male passenger of CX flight 900, but some Ninoy Aquino International Airport employees said he was “also an official of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry.”

The Cathay Pacific flight was supposed to leave the Naia’s Terminal 1 at 12:30 p.m. The incident delayed the plane’s departure for about an hour.

In its report to the CAAP, the airline disclosed the “unruly passenger would not obey any commands from the cabin crew’s verbal warning… Warning given but to no avail… (Plane) returned to bay to offload passenger.”

According to Cathay Pacific, the passenger “was repeatedly asked to fasten his seatbelt but he refused. During the taxi back to the Terminal 1 bay, he climbed the stairs to the upper deck (of the Boeing 747) to gain entry to the cockpit. He was prevented from doing so by the cabin crew.”

The passenger was brought to the CAAP office, located near Naia Terminal 1, where he was briefly interrogated and released. Jerry E. Esplanada

Had a non-native (visitor to the RP) did this, he/she would be detained .arrested?fined? BLACKLISTED then held in the BI lock up til he/she is deported,

unless they had to use the CR and by some misfortune "fell" from the stairways while being escorted
