MANILA, Philippines – More Japanese have been arriving in the country to escape radiation sickness after their government announced that the radiation exposure area had increased to 50 miles radius from 30.
The Immigration Airport Operations Division (AOD) of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) 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,” Ynn Pelia of AOD said.
Philippine Airlines has four flights from Japan everyday, Japan Airlines has two. Nippon Air and Delta Air have two flights each, and Cebu Pacific has two.
