D.Z. Romualdez Airport — Tacloban, Philippines

Paddy McGinley (Edmonton, Canada) - June 6, 2014
This airport is operated by organized criminals masquerading as Security Police. They force you to place your carry-on baggage on an inspection table in front of 2-3 "officers". Then they order you to turn your back to the bags and forbid you to turn around until given permission while they pat you down for "security. They steal you valuables, close your bags, then o guard leaves the desk to stash the loot. I confronted them immediately only to face to my e the expected denial and veiled threats. They stole our new phone complete with vacation photos. Local tell me the guards do the same thing to them. The airport is a filthy sweatbox with no AC. Never travel to Tacloban is my advice.
