Cebu Pacific cancels 8 flights due to bad weather


Air carrier Cebu Pacific on Thursday canceled at least eight flights to and from Manila and various destinations in the Visayas and Mindanao. In an advisory posted on its Facebook page, Cebu Pacific said the canceled flights included: 5J-781 and 782 (Manila to Ozamiz City and back); 5J-871 and 872 (Cebu to Ozamiz City and back); 5J-711 and 712 (Manila to Catarman and back); and 5J-785 and 786 (Manila to Butuan City and back). "Affected passengers will be accommodated on the next available flights," the airline said. "We always place top priority in your safety; thank you for your understanding," it added. Low-pressure area off Mindanao Majority of low-lying areas in the Caraga Region in Mindanao are now submerged in flash floods forcing thousands of families to evacuate. A low-pressure area off Mindanao threatens to bring more flash floods and landslides to parts of Visayas and Mindanao, state weather forecasters said on Tuesday. Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) forecaster Manny Mendoza also said the LPA still has a "50-50" chance of becoming a cyclone. Should the LPA become a cyclone, it will be code-named "Amang," and would be the first cyclone in the country this year. – VVP, GMANews.TV
