Posting this on all 9-11 threads. Looking for an answer.

Whatever happened to the report that Phillipine intell found a plot in a Manila. The deal was to fly airplanes into buildings in the US. They turned it over to the US in 96 or 97, I think.

Is the commission hearing this. Did we take any action after that. How did these guys get into flight schools so easilly afterwards?

Wasn't it something like "Project Bojinko?" It was brought up often here on FR.

Project Bojinka

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Jury selection began in New York Monday in the federal trial of three men accused of plotting to bomb 11 planes headed for the United States on a single day in 1995.
Ramzi Yousef is charged with masterminding the plot. He also will be tried later this year, accused of planning the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. Four men are already serving life in prison for that crime.
The alleged plot was discovered in the Philippines in January 1995, when a fire broke out in a Manila apartment 200 yards from the Vatican's embassy, a week before the arrival of Pope John Paul II.
Police were shocked by what they found inside: a smoking mixture of explosives in a sink, street maps and garments like those worn by the Pope's entourage, suggesting a plot to kill the Pontiff.

Note: Laurie Mylroie and James Woolsey have said that Yousef was an intelligence officer for Iraq.

I don't have the answer to your question, but it would stand to reason that it was easy to get into flight schools during the Clinton administration. All of his officials were too busy donning their kneepads to do Clinton's bidding on saving his legacy. America's safety was not a pressing issue.
