Sam Audrey Pajarillo, a passenger of Cebu Pacific Flight 5J404 bound for Laoag City, said he was supposed to leave NAIA-3 at 7:00 p.m. but his flight was delayed and rescheduled for 9 p.m.

“There is no proper communication. We are left clueless here. It’s like a market here. People are in disarray,” he said citing no personnel from Cebu Pacific came forward to inform the passengers.
