MANILA, Philippines - The Office for Transportation Security (OTS) conducted a security inspection at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) on Wednesday to ensure safe, orderly, and efficient travel during Semana Santa (Holy Week). OTS Administrator Undersecretary Gilberto DC Cruz said the activity aimed to strictly enforce safety measures for passengers, personnel, and transport operators. During the visit to NAIA Terminal 3, the agency—joined by NAIA Special Assistant to the SMC President and CEO for Security-Related Matters Ramon A. Ragasa, along with other stakeholders—inspected the Overseas Filipino Workers’ lane and lounge to promote passenger welfare. The team also demonstrated two newly commissioned Explosive Detection Systems equipped with Computed Tomography technology, as well as an Automatic Tray Return system. This advanced equipment is designed to enhance the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of airport screening operations. “The safety and convenience of the traveling public remain our top priority, especially during peak travel periods such as Semana Santa. We will continue to intensify our monitoring and enforcement efforts to uphold the highest standards of security across all transport facilities,” Cruz said. After completing the NAIA assessment, the OTS team proceeded to other ports to continue inspections.
