A PAL Philippine Airlines Airbus A320-200, registration RP-C8615 performing flight PR-191 from Manila to Tacloban (Philippines) with 94 people on board, was touching down on Tacloban's runway 18 when a flock of wild ducks did not manage to duck away from the engines and several birds were ingested by one of the engines (CFM56). The aircraft rolled out safely.

A runway inspection needed to remove a number of dead ducks from the runway.

The airline said the aircraft sustained damage to fan blades of an engine causing the return flight PR-192 to be cancelled.
