NewsTranscript
00:00In 2015, a series of gunfire or shooting modes were fired at the victim and the driver, both Filipinos and non-Filipinos.
00:10Their complaint was that the gun was aimed at their luggage and the driver was being pulled by the people of the airport.
00:16In a case where an OFW lost his job, he was not able to return to his employer abroad.
00:22The government formed an interagency team to take care of the OFWs fighting the modes.
00:27In 2016, a survey was published that the OFW was the 5th worst in Asia.
00:32One of the reasons for the answers in the survey is the fear that they might be victims of gunfire.
00:38In the years that passed, the government assured that the modes were no longer used, but only last year,
00:43a passenger who claimed to have seen a gun in his bag, which he said was not his, appeared again.
00:50And now, because of what happened to Ruth Adel and her family in March 6, 2016,
00:56Where's the gun? Where's the gun?
00:58netizen asked if the gun was returned.
01:02He saw a gun in Adel's bag so he went to the Office for Transportation Security even though they were in the boarding area of the airplane.
01:10Where is it?
01:11Rosary.
01:12Rosary. Maybe it's this.
01:14This is for your nose.
01:16After the accusation, no one saw a gun, a bag or anything in Adel's bag.
01:21I have nothing to do with what happened, ma'am.
01:23So that's it? Yes or no?
01:25Empty shell.
01:27That's empty shell.
01:29That's what you said first.
01:31You said it was empty shell.
01:33Now it's empty shell.
01:35But they wanted to bring the bag to the OTS office to be scanned again.
01:39At this point, they passed the X-ray machine and the witnesses are not sure what bag they have that has a gun in it.
01:46I was alone, ma'am. They put a gun in my bag.
01:55In her post about the incident, Adel mentioned that the OTS officials are still smiling.
02:00She's still laughing. I thought she was pranking us because the way she delivered the message, there's no professionalism.
02:12They were in the airplane but they wanted to sue the three OTS personnel.
02:17They were put back in their seats and placed in a floating status while the DOTR is investigating the incident.
02:24We are sending a message loud and clear to everyone in government
02:27that we will not tolerate this sort of behavior against our citizens.
02:31The OTS officials admitted that they have done something wrong.
02:34They complained that the inspection has already passed through the X-ray counter.
02:37Our people are lacking in something.
02:40They were chased to the boarding gate.
02:43Once you are screened and cleared by the screener, you're done.
02:48The DOTR passed a protocol.
02:51The Department of Transportation has a warning to the employees of the government in the airport,
02:56especially those who serve the public.
02:58You are not allowed to sneeze.
03:00I will remove the word smirk or sneeze from the faces of the unprofessional, abusive and arrogant OTS personnel.
03:14Our passengers should not be harassed.
03:21The airport will also have a hotline to complain about irregularities.
03:24According to the new company running the IAOTS,
03:28they will still investigate because they are responsible for the security screening as well as the X-ray baggage inspection.
03:34They have already reached an agreement with the OTS and the CCTV footage of the incident has already been reviewed.
03:39According to Atty. Gabby Concepcion,
03:41checking the equipment in the airport is a security measure for the protection of the people that should be followed.
03:47But it should be reasonable.
03:49But this should not be done in a way that will result in the permission of other people or passengers.
03:56And maybe those who are doing these searches,
04:00you may be the next one to file a case.
04:03There may be a criminal case.
04:05Actually, there are many.
04:06Extortion, bribery case or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act.
04:11If you're asking for money so you won't be charged.
04:14For the GMA Integrated News, I am Joseph Morong.
04:17May God bless you.
