The Immigration Airport Operations Division of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport here in Manila said some 1,000 Japanese arrived in the country after Japan was hit by a tsunami caused by a strong earthquake.
Japanese have been fleeing from the threats of radiation contamination and food scarcity.
“We are expecting more Japanese in the coming weeks,” immigration official Ynn Pelia said.
Philippine Airlines has four flights from Japan every day, Japan Airlines has two. Nippon Air and Delta Air have two flights each, and Cebu Pacific has two.
