PAL forbids bringing Li-Ion batteries on cargo carriage

Philippine Airlines Inc (PAL) has put a halt on passengers bringing lithium-ion batteries inside cargo carriage for check-in as a way of preventing a possible source of fire while airborne.

The popular Li-Ion type of batteries are usually seen on smartphones and laptops. While bringing these kinds of batteries are no longer allowed for checking-in on their own, they will be accommodated only if they are inside their respective devices and as long as they comply with the regulatory requirements on packaging and labeling. Otherwise, spare batteries should be hand-carried and only in a limited number.

The move was in response to other international airlines implementing the same procedure to assure its passengers of the added safety onboard the aircraft.

“Safety is the cornerstone of our operations. We mitigate risks as we assure our passengers of our commitment to safety,” PAL President and Chief Operating Officer Jaime Bautista said.

Kevin Bruce Francisco Leave a comment

Along with Ookla’s report showing the Philippines being one of the countries with the slowest Internet in the whole world, diving deeper into the details of our country will show the ranking of the cities based on their download speeds. We picked out the top 10 cities and listed them down after the break.

The city that tops the list as of May 2015 is Pasay City with an average download speed of 11.03 megabits per second (Mbps) followed by Pampanga and Marilao at 8.75 and 8.48Mbps, respectively. The fourth spot is taken by Muntinlupa City at 7.16Mbps. From there, the rest follows at 5Mbps and below.

You might notice that Manila didn’t make it in the top 10 along with Makati City. If you would check out the full list you would see that Manila is at 32nd place with 3.89Mbps and Makati at 13th place with 4.47Mbps.

Did your city make it to the top list of ‘fastest’ Internet speeds in the Philippines? More importantly, does your connection feel like anything close to what was stated on the list?
