TEMPO.CO, Manila - A Philippine plane carrying more than 180 passengers and crewmen veered off the runway after landing in a central province, Saturday, Oct. 14. The pilot prompted to order an evacuation of the aircraft, officials said.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines said all passengers and crew of Cebu Pacific airline's Airbus 320 aircraft were safe following late Friday's incident, which caused the plane's front landing gear to get stuck in a grassy area at the end of the runway at Iloilo province's international airport.
