A Cebu Pacific flight bound to Manila on Saturday morning had an emergency landing back to Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) due to “landing gear issues.”

There were 162 adults and one infant during the flight.

In a Facebook post of Remton Siega Zuasola, it said “BRACE FOR IMPACT — Just survived an emergency landing due to landing gear failure. Shaken but all is fine. Daghang Salamat Ginoo!”

Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority assistant general manager Atty. Glenn Napuli and MCIAA Public Affairs division manager Mary Ann Dimabayao said as a matter of protocol, Cebu Pacific, will issue an official statement on the incident.

According to some passengers, they were told to “remove sharp objects from your body, place hands behind your head and brace for impact.”

Reports said that the aircraft has to fly over MCIA to possibly consume the fuel and prevent the aircraft from catching fire upon impact… passengers started crying.”

Initial report from MCIAA’s Nerve Command Center disclosed that the aircraft’s censor cannot detect that the landing gear malfunctioned.

The Nerve Command Center then advised the aircraft to fly around twice and when it reached Barangay Basak in LapuLapu City, the three aircraft wheels opened that made the emergency landing.

As of this writing, Cebu Pacific has not issued an official statement.
