Naglabas ng opisyal na pahayag ang New NAIA Infra Corp. (NNIC) kaugnay sa pinag-usapang viral Facebook post ng isang 69-anyos na babaeng pasahero matapos silang harangin ng kaniyang anak ng tatlong airport personnel sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 noong Marso 6, upang halughugin ang kaniyang mga bagahe dahil daw sa naispatang basyo ng bala ng baril.
