American citizen Maurice Francis O’Connor stayed and slept on the floor at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1. O’Connor is from Massachusetts, was first spotted roaming the departure area of NAIA Terminal 1 two weeks ago by airport security patrolling the 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.
O’Connor said he has not bathed for the past 2 weeks. Airport security personnel and janitors, meanwhile, said that they have been contributing money and food for him.
“The airport workers here have made my stay easier here at the airport, I can not ask for more, they are my guardian angel,” he said.
O’connor has been back and forth for two years but it was only this month that he walked into the Bank and found out that he did not have the name of the account.
According to him, he was the victim of the scam here in the Philippines but he did not elaborate yet.
“I showed my identification, I showed a number. They said we can’t give it to you sir, the account is not in your name. That means I get money going to another person, not in my name,” he said.
“If someone offers you coffee, eat it. It’s a pity, I look like my grandfather, ” he added.
