A seven-year-old girl who survived the recent car crash at NAIA Terminal 1 now refuses to return to the airport, her father said in an interview, ABS-CBN reported.

The tragic incident, captured in a video circulating online, shows chaos erupting moments after an SUV crashed into the departure area entrance at Terminal 1.

Panicked travelers scrambled for safety, while injured victims lay scattered across the floor.

Among the most heartbreaking images was that of a young girl in a white dress, visibly hurt and crying, crawling toward a motionless, bloodied woman—later identified as her 62-year-old grandmother.

Rescue teams swiftly responded, rushing the girl and her grandmother to a nearby hospital.

The girl was also revealed to be the cousin of the four-year-old girl who tragically lost her life in the accident.

In a phone interview with ABS-CBN News, the child’s father, Daniel Masongsong, shared how deeply affected his daughter was during the ordeal.

“Punong-puno ng pag-alala sa kaniyang lola sa mga oras na iyon ang nararamdaman ng bata,” he said.

He added that while the young girl wanted to help her grandmother, she was at a loss for what to do.

According to Daniel, the grandmother had taken the child to the airport to send off her uncle, Danmark Masongsong, unaware that the trip would end in tragedy.

The emotional scars left by the crash continue to affect the young survivor, who now associates the airport with fear and loss.

News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable.

In a previous report by KAMI, the Land Transportation Office has already taken action on the driver of the SUV that rammed people in NAIA Terminal 1. On their Facebook page, the agency said they put the driver's license on preventive suspension for 90 days while investigations are still ongoing. It can be recalled that the SUV suddenly accelerated, resulting in 2 casualties and a couple of people injured. An SCO has already been issued against the registered owner of the SUV and the driver involved in the tragic incident.

Additionally, the Overseas Filipino Worker, father of the 5-year-old girl victim in the NAIA Terminal 1 incident yesterday, has no longer proceeded to leave the country. In a report by GMA 7's 'Unang Balita,' he and other family members went to a Pasay funeral facility where the initial processing of the deceased victims was made. The OFW father of the girl victim personally took his daughter's remains and will be bringing them to Lipa City, Batangas.
