Jackie Chan flew into Manila to launch his new business Jackie’s Java Company Ltd., which will sell high-quality coffee from all over the world.
Marianne Go writing for The Philippine Star said:
"Along with his American partner Thomas Kazas and Philippine partners Leandro Bantug and Yolanda Ong, Jackie’s Java Co. plans to pioneer a chain of coffee houses initially in the Philippines and eventually to other Asian countries such as China, with branches in Beijing and Shanghai, and Malaysia."
Commenting on the bad weather and long wait to take the flight to the appointment, Chan said: "You know, there’s a typhoon in Hong Kong. I thought I could not come. I’ve been waiting, waiting, waiting."
With the typhoon in Hong Kong, Chan had to sign an agreement with a clause that would penalize him if he received any injuries on the flight or on the stopover. Arriving without security, Chan's handlers wouldn't allow people close to him so that he wouldn't even be scratched before the filming of his latest installment of "Rush Hour 3."
He arrived in Manila on a private chartered jet when the commercial flight he was scheduled to fly on was cancelled because of bad weather.
