This is now the third highly publicized theft by airport security personnel at NAIA in 2023 – a bad look as the government tries to court investors to rehabilitate the ailing international gateway
MANILA, Philippines – The Office of Transportation Security has been directed to “immediately file” charges against the security screening personnel who stole money from passengers at theThis came after authorities confirmed the incident involving a female OTS personnel swallowing $300 worth of bills that she reportedly took from the wallet of a departing passenger.
After this, the officer operating the X-ray machine was seen handing the screening officer a bottle of water. The female officer then proceeded to try to swallow the bills, even as her supervisor “was seemingly communicating with her as the latter was obviously almost choking in her effort to swallow the dollar bills while using her hanky to cover her mouth,” a report by airport authorities said.
After the investigation, Department of Transportation Secretary Jaime Bautista authorized slapping the guilty personnel with the “maximum penalty” to show the department’s push “to rid NAIA as well as other attached agencies of scalawags.” “The OTS, under the stewardship of the DOTr, will ensure that administrative case will be filed against erring personnel. In fact, the administrative case is now with the OTS Legal Service for further investigation,” an OTS representative told Rappler.
