No hold departure order vs. Heart Evangelista’s ex-glam team — DOJ

There was no hold departure order (HDO) issued against Justin Soriano and Jeck Aguilar, former members of Heart Evangelista’s glam team, who were unable to board their flight earlier this week.

“It was found that there was no derogatory record. Wala naman po siyang HDO. Wala din siyang international lookout bulletin order (There was no HDO. And there was no international lookout bulletin order),” Justice spokesperson Mico Clavano said in a media briefing when asked on the matter.

This came amid allegations that the two were unable to board their Monday flight to Dubai due to an HDO. They were supposedly held off at the check-in counter in Manila because airline personnel did not want to issue their boarding passes.

Clavano said he received reports that the problem was on the side of Dubai.

“So ‘yung airline mismo ang nag-offload doon sa mga pasahero na ‘yun and they were advised to actually report [to] the UAE Embassy,” he said.

(The airline itself offloaded the passengers and they were advised to report to the UAE Embassy.)

“On the side of the Philippines, wala naman tayong problema… it was on the side of the Dubai airport and Dubai authorities na nagkaproblema,” he added.

(There was no problem on the side of the Philippines… the problem was on the side of the Dubai airport and Dubai authorities.) 

Aguilar and Soriano were known collaborators of Heart. Last year, they had a falling out, with the Kapuso star unfollowing both on Instagram.
