Philippine Airlines Apologizes To American Singer And Youtuber For Alleged “Overweight” Baggage

PHILIPPINE AIRLINES – Philippine Airlines (PAL) recently gave an apology to an American singer and YouTuber David DiMuzio for the alleged “overweight” bag.

Dimuzio is an American singer and YouTuber that makes music covers. Some of his covers are Filipino songs.

On June 30, he posted a video on Facebook, addressing his disappointment on PAL. In his testimony, he was checking in Manila earlier that day when one of the PAL staff told him that his bag was allegedly 14kg “overweight”.

This put the singer in shock as he never carrying an overweight bag since he has been carrying the same bag every time he travels. they decided to take the stuff out but the bag is still “overweight”. He debated with the staff, each telling the other if the bag is really overweight.

Then, they decided to check the bag in another scale, only to realize that the bag was actually underweight in the first place.

He concluded that PAL is using at least one uncalibrated, broken, weighing scale. He then urged the passengers to use a second scale to make sure that their baggage is overweight.

Here is the full video:
