UPDATE: Cebu Pacific Flight Attendant Accused of Stealing Money From Passengers

Mainland China -- A Cebu Pacific male flight attendant has been accused of stealing money from passengers. His fellow crew members allegedly covered up the crime.

A certain Facebook user named Henry Wong posted pictures of incident and his post's reads:

"This was a male flight attendant of Cebu Pacific Air Flight 5J52 from Boracay to Mainland China early this week. He allegedly stole the money of several passengers on board and was caught red handed by the passengers.

Although he was able to flush dozens of pieces of RMB¥100 bills down the toilet, airport policemen were still able to recover damp RMB bills from the garbage bin in the lavatory.
The whole crew were said to have conspired to committing the crime because other flight attendants and the air marshall were covering the suspect when he rushed to the toilet trying to destroy all evidences.

The crew started to look suspicious when they insisted that the window shields must be pulled down all the time and even small sling bags were required to be stored in overhead bin while much bigger school bags of children were exempted.

The handwritten Chinese letter was the testimony of the passengers."

These photo's of alleged suspect and passenger's testimony which written in Chinese were also published in China Sina Weibo as you can see on the photo's description.

In a statement on Thursday reported by Abs-Cbn News, Atty. Paterno Mantaring Jr., officer-in-charge for corporate affairs of Cebu Pacific, said they have have been made aware of the alleged incident of theft.

"CEB is conducting a thorough investigation in parallel with an independent, third party investigating body on this alleged incident," Mantaring said.

He added also that " CEB will take the appropriate action, depending on the result of the investigation".

As part of the CEB procedure, all cabin crew members of the flight have been placed on paid leave and a non-flying status, pending the investigation.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) nonetheless believes this is an isolated incident and that Filipino crew can still be trusted.
