A 75-year-old American national has been staying at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 for two weeks now.

Maurice Francis O’Connor told ABS-CBN News that he missed his flight to Thailand.

The American hails from Massachusetts and was first spotted by airport security officials in the departure area. Security personnel said that they later saw him moved to the terminal’s arrival extension area.

“Sa upuan din po sa departure area una siya natutulog dahil madalang po ang flight. Kitang-kita siya kaya po pinaalis namin, pero sa arrival extension area naman siya lumipat at sa upuan pa rin siya natutulog” an airport security guard told ABS-CBN News.

The man has been occupying at least two rows of seats at the arrival area as his bed. Airport security officials said that they are contributing on a daily basis to buy food for him.

The American won’t tell why he missed his flight. He thanked the airport personnel for showing him kindness.

The United States Embassy has yet to address the situation of O’Connor in Manila.
