A PASSENGER on a flight from the Ninoy Aquino International Airport bound for Cotabato Airport was off-loaded after being reported of making a bomb joke. The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP), in a statement yesterday, identified the passenger as Saidona A. Singgon, who was taken into custody by “authorities for questioning.” He reportedly claimed that he is an employee of CAAP, which is under the Department of Transportation (DoTr). The statement said both “CAAP and DOTr deny any connection with the passenger.” Mr. Singgon is actually the CAAP-ARMM airport manager, based on the DoTr-ARMM Web site, as confirmed by a call to the office.
