00:00Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon announces the immediate dismissal of three airport personnel
00:06involved in a Tanimbala incident at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport last week.
00:12This is in reaction to passenger Ruth Adele's social media post about her experience at
00:16the airport on March 6 before her flight to Vietnam.
00:20She says security personnel approached her to check her luggage even though she had already
00:24passed security.
00:25The security personnel claimed they found an anting-anting bullet in her bag.
00:29Adele said she thought it was a prank because the personnel made inconsistent statements
00:34and kept laughing about the situation.
00:36Dizon also warns DOTR employees to remain professional.
00:40We will not stand for any abuse.
00:43Any abuse will be met with the same result and the same sui ade asian lamas as mandated
00:51and as ordered to us by the President himself.
00:53DOTR Undersecretary Jim Sidionco and Administrator Arthur Bisnar are instructed to review the
00:59screening procedures and protocols at airports.
