Sandoval said she will check with the port operations division as to what happen at NAIA T3 that resulted for the passengers to be left behind
Passenger Maloles and companions are finding ways to rebook with other available flights so as not to disrupt their business transactions at Kota Kinabalu . - sa ulat mula kay Raoul Esperas (Patrol 45).
