Pinay sues Philippine Airlines for $10M over ordeal after flight from NYC gets cancelled

A woman has filed a $10-million class action suit against flag carrier Philippine Air Lines (PAL) at a United States superior court after her flight to the Philippines from John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York was abruptly canceled due to mechanical problems on May 17. 
 
According to California-based news service Courthouse News, Cherilyn Darilag filed the case on Tuesday, saying she was bounced around various hotels and was never rebooked by PAL after the flight cancellation.
 
In her complaint, Darilag said she initially waited three hours inside the plane before being asked to get off because of the mechanical problem.
 
Darilag claimed PAL told passengers another flight would be available the next morning and that they would be booked at a hotel in the meantime.
 
But Darilag said no PAL representative met with her or the other passengers at the hotel they were told to go to.
 
Darilag also said in her complaint that morning and afternoon flights from PAL were unavailable despite the airlines' promise.
 
She added that PAL issued flight transfers to other airlines but that these were not accepted by the airlines since the forms allegedly lacked proper validation stamps from PAL.
 
Darilag said PAL has not contacted her since the incident.
 
PAL, for its part, said the mishap was due to a sudden maintenance check on their planes
 
Courthouse News said a PAL representative emailed them to say that while the airline empathized with the passengers it had a duty to ensure safety and cancel the flight. — Andrei Medina/JDS, GMA News

New York Times’ Thomas Friedman, who’s close to the US administration, says emerging doctrine would include Saudi-Israeli normalization, 2-state solution, and campaign against Iran US President Joe Biden’s administration is homing in on a new doctrine involving an unprecedented push to immediately advance the creation of a demilitarized but viable Palestinian state, The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman reported on Thursday. The plan, Friedman wrote, “would involve some form of US recognition of a demilitarized Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip that would come into being only once Palestinians had developed a set of defined, credible institutions and security capabilities to ensure that this state was viable and that it could never threaten Israel.” White House officials “have been consulting experts inside and outside the US government about different forms this recognition of Palestinian statehood might take,” revealed Friedman. What he termed the new “Biden Doctrin
