The PAL aircraft, an Airbus A321, made a premature landing at the Mactan Cebu International Airport instead of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport after a "technical problem" was reported past 11 a.m.
PAL spokesperson Cielo Villaluna said "no emergency landing was declared," adding an investigation is underway to determine why the flight was diverted.
About 150 passengers were safely disembarked and were being booked on the next flight to Manila as of this posting.
