Frenchman goes berserk at NAIA as Pinay GF does a no show

Doctors at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport sedated a Frenchman who went berserk after his Filipina girlfriend failed to pick him up at the Airport. Dominique Albert George Fremond, 55, arrived in the country from Paris onboard a Saudi Airlines flight late Thursday.

Airport personnel spotted him roaming all over the arrival terminal looking for his Filipina girlfriend. He was seen making frantic calls on his cellphone. “Fed up, the foreigner must have lost his temper and started throwing tantrums inside the terminal," said a witness, who requested anonymity. Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Angelo Honrado, general manager of the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), has ordered airport authorities not to speak to the media unless they are authorized to speak on behalf of the MIAA. According to the Airport Police Department, Fremond started taking his belongings out of his luggage and threw his laptop and camera against the floor. The other passengers got scared, and the airport authorities moved in to pacify him. They invited him to the airport medical clinic for observation, but the Frenchman ran towards the restricted airport tarmac. After the airport medical team failed to calm him down, he was restrained by and injected with the sedative Valium, Doctor Cesar Ocampo of the NAIA medical clinic told airport reporters on Friday. As of this posting, Fremond is resting at the airport clinic while authorities are trying to contact the French Embassy in Manila as well as his Filipina girlfriend. — VS, GMA News
