I might have missed the discussion *sorry* amongst the 1100 odd posts, but was it true about nil instruments for landing?
I'm sure this is covered in the ATSB report somewhere.

All three ILS systems failed. Some of the Captain's instrumentation failed initially, but the displays were brought back to life by the use of the alternate source switches. The aircraft was maintained in VMC from the time of the failure until landing, but both pilots had full attitude and air data displays, and a number of alternatives were available had an instrument approach been needed.

In any event, the ILS on Manila 06 has been out of service for a few months.
