No Underwear Policy For NAIA Airport Security Personnel

Leave a comment

NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The management of NAIA will implement a “no pocket “ policy for all airport security personnel as a deterrent to cash and jewelry being stolen from passengers.

Recently, cases have been uncovered of airport personnel stealing cash from a Thai passenger and a wrist watch from another.

Security personnel will also now be prohibited from bringing their personal bags to their area of assignment.

But that seems to be not enough.

Today Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Cesar Chiong told The Adobo Chronicles that he will also implement a “no underwear” policy for security personnel just to make sure they won’t have anything to hide their loot in.

Wise move!

Flying In Or Out Of NAIA? Stock Up On Cling Wrap!

Leave a comment

NINOY AQUINO INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Remember those days when bullets were intentionally implanted in luggages of passengers flying in or out of NAIA, as a modus operandi to extort money?

Well it’s baaaack!

Only this time, the MO is quite different. Airport personnel steal money from wallets of passengers or wrist watches from the bin at security screening stations.

But no worries, the good old cling wrap will do the trick.

Before passing through the airport screening area, wrap your wallets, handbags, cellphones, wrist watches and other valuable items to make it difficult for scrupulous airport personnel to steal them.

Stock up on cling wrap. It does wonders when traveling!

MALL OF ASIA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Pasay City Bureau) – For more than two decades now, Filipinos and tourists have been circumnavigating the globe while staying put in the Philippines — no visas needed, no expensive flights and hotels, no need to travel for months on end. This, thanks to the Mall of Asia giant globe, built in 2006. A quick trip to the Manila Bayside complex lets one go around the world in just a few minutes.

Now, people won’t have to dream or aspire to fly to the moon!

Dubai is set to build a moon-shaped resort that would give visitors and residents alike the lunar experience while still setting foot on the ground.

The US $5 Billion resort is designed to offer an accessible and authentic space tourism experience to enthusiasts around the world as it is a simulation of the Moon giving travelers an authentic lunar surface to explore without having to travel outside the stratosphere.

The impressive 10-acre resort will include a wellness center, convention center, restaurants and nightclub and more, focusing on areas such as space tourism, hospitality and technology. It will also feature 300 private residences called ‘Sky Villas’, which are available for purchase. And, in fact, all within the huge crater-shaped moon.

So plan early and schedule a trip to Dubai, ahm… the Moon!
