A Vietnamese woman caused a commotion for an unknown reason in front of an Immigration Officer at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 on July 1, 2024.

The 19-year-old Vietnamese, named Ban Thi Van, was about to board a Cebu Pacific Air flight going to Hanoi, Vietnam when she suddenly made a scene during immigration clearance.

"During inspection, she aggressively snatched her passport from the immigration officer and caused a scene by throwing herself on the floor while shouting. She reportedly streamed her outburst on social media, causing disturbance in the immigration departure area," according to the statement from the Bureau of Immigration (BI).

BI sought assistance from the Border Control and Intelligence Unit, airport police, and the Philippine National Police's Aviation Security Group to control the woman who was writhing on the floor while shouting and allegedly filming herself for social media.

The woman has been brought to the BI Warden Facility in Camp Bagong Diwa, Bicutan, Taguig City and paperwork is being arranged for her deportation to Vietnam.

Just last month, another Vietnamese woman also caused a scene at NAIA Terminal 3 when she ran naked towards the final security checkpoint.
