Last April 26, 2008, Filipino Deaf From the Eyes of a Hearing Person shared a story about how ten persons were not allowed to board a Cebu Pacific flight to Boracay on account of being deaf, recounting the details related to an op-ed piece on the matter by Raul Pangalangan on the Inquirer.

On August 24, 2008, the very same blog shared a reaction entitled Are deaf people considered as a flight risk?, written in response to a comment posted apparently by a flight attendant apparently not of the same airline, who defended Cebu Pacific’s actions.

As of this posting, there is nothing in cyberspace speaking of Cebu Pacific‘s stand on the matter.

Does this logo then make sense (image from Filipino Deaf From the Eyes of a Hearing Person)?

No Hear No Fly?

Your reactions, folks.
