In a video posted on Facebook, Lindsay Limon is seen dancing with her father Noel at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia), where several flights were canceled due to the incident.

“Dapat talaga isu-surprise nila ako sa debut ko na darating si papa kaso na-delay ‘yung flight niya nang ilang beses tapos hindi nakaabot,” she said in her post about her 18th birthday on August 18.
(They were supposed to surprise me in my debut that my father will attend but his flight was delayed many times so he failed to come on time.)
Lindsay said her dad only wanted to come back to the Philippines from Kuwait for her debut celebration. He arrived, however, at 12:50 a.m. of August 19.
The party was over at that time, so Lindsay decided to go straight to the airport to not miss the moment of dancing with her dad.
“After ng debut ko diretso na agad sa airport. Di man nakaabot, nakasayaw naman kaming dalawa. [Ang] sarap sa feeling,” she said cheerfully.
(After my debut, I went straight to the airport. Even if he didn’t make it, at least we were able to dance. It really feels good.)
She also thanked her father for all his efforts working as an OFW for the family.
“Salamat sa lahat ng efforts mo [Thank you for all your efforts.] I love you,” she posted. /jpv
