MANILA, July 25 (Reuters) - A Qantas Airways flight from Hong Kong to Melbourne made an emergency landing in Manila on Friday due to cabin pressurisation problems, airport officials said.

They said the Boeing 747-400 landed safely and passengers disembarked without incident.

There were around 300 passengers on board. A spokeswoman for Qantas said they were all safe. (Reporting by Karen Lema; Editing by Valerie Lee)
