Fighter jets’ fly-bys freak out some office workers in Ortigas

If you work in the Ortigas area and have been hearing fighter jets pass by your office building, have no fear. It’s not anything serious like the start of a war.

The Philippine Air Force (PAF) said that a high-opener pass will be conducted by the two new FA-50 fighter jets during the 30th anniversary celebration of the EDSA People Power Revolution on Thu, Feb 25.

That said, the planes have been brought out for “practice” since the start of the week.

“The fly-bys of the two fighter jets caused alarm for some offices in Ortigas business center, as they flew low and caused the windows to rattle in some office buildings,” reports Patricia Lourdes Viray on Philstar.com.  

The report noted: “Two combat utility helicopters will also conduct a flower drop at the EDSA Shrine in Ortigas Avenue on Thursday. The participation of the Air Force was requested by the EDSA-1 organizers.”
