got on a flight with them between cebu and manila on a 747 and the pilots almost ran out of runway in Manila... totally overshot the touchdown point and wasn't braking properly, and that was a damn long runway !

Otherwise having been around a lot of airports in the Philippines the runways are really short and narrow, and yet they still land A320's on those post stamps, nothing like landing on a 3300 meters runway.

So sure there's bad pilots everywhere but don't forget about all the good ones. I did work in the Phils and seen good pilots and aweful pilots (sorry but most of them weren't good pilots but yet there's a few really good guys).
