‘Isang’ delays Miss World-Philippines Aklan flight

Plane flight schedules were delayed due to Typhoon Isang, including that of Miss World-Philippines candidates.

The 35 pageant candidates were supposed to arrive at the Godofredo P. Ramos Airport , or the Caticlan Airport, in Aklan at 2:35 p.m. from Manila.

Their flight was five hours delayed.

This was attributed to heavy rains and strong winds brought by the typhoon.

The candidates boarded the plane around 6 p.m. and landed at the Kalibo International Airport around 7:15 p.m.

The candidates will have a photo shoot, pool party and a bikini parade at the Savoy Beach Resort at Boracay Newcoast.

Juris Sucro, one of the event organizers in Boracay, said the candidates will enjoy their three-day stay in the island resort.

“They are looking forward to having memorable experience,” Sucro added./
