When the incident occurred the aircraft was approx 300nm from MNL which was definitely the closest airport. I know that for a <fact> so no more speculation on this point pls. Aircraft was dumping fuel en route to MNL as you would expect, don't know what weight he landed at.
For info ILS 06 is still out of service but rwy 24 was in use at the time. MNL offered QF30 either rwy for landing as soon as they were in radio contact but don't know which one he actually used.
It was all handled very nicely by the crew
