00:00Hot news, the three employees of the Office for Transportation Security of the Department of Transportation were removed from their positions.
00:09They were blocking a passenger in IEA Terminal 3 after he asked if he could earn a bag of bullets.
00:15Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon himself announced the removal of the three OTS employees.
00:24Let's update on the action of the Department of Transportation on the blocking of a few people of the Office for Transportation Security in IEA
00:31in a passenger who was asked to earn a bag of bullets.
00:35We have on the spot, Joseph Moro.
00:37Joseph?
00:41Yes, Connie. The three personnel of the Office for Transportation Security were removed from their positions
00:47that were involved in the incident of Ian being asked to earn a bag of bullets on March 6.
00:52According to Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon, they will not ignore the abuse of power
00:58that was committed by the three when they were asking a senior citizen to earn a bag of bullets.
01:05Dizon said it was wrong for the OTS personnel to chase the 69-year-old Ruth Adele who was traveling to Vietnam because she was done with her screening.
01:15OTS Administrator General Arthur Bisnar added,
01:19in the first investigation conducted by the OTS, it was found that there was a bag with bullets,
01:25but it was not immediately identified who it belonged to.
01:28The attention was turned to the so-called non-robbery.
01:33It is possible that the bag was obtained by a real owner.
01:36Dizon also investigated why the report about the incident did not immediately appear in the OTS and DOTR offices.
01:44He said it is not yet known if it was not reported by the media.
01:48The DOTR asked the public to report immediately if they experienced any irregularities.
01:54Also, because the OTS personnel saw the assault,
01:57the DOTR reminded them that the government officials at the airport are not allowed to wake up,
02:03especially when they serve the public.
02:05Here is the statement of Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon.
02:10I'm really annoyed because it's still March 6.
02:15If Ma'am Ruth did not post and the media did not see it, it will not be reported.
02:21It will not reach us.
02:22So I think that's one of the things that Sir Ato will look into.
02:28Since we have the footage already, I think we need to establish some protocols there.
02:34According to General Bisnar, aside from the investigation that is being carried out on the three,
02:40the OTS will clean up the mess.
02:43Concerning the brownout that happened yesterday,
02:46in the three terminals that were evacuated, according to Secretary Dizon,
02:49the reason is that the supply of electricity tripped.
02:52There are terminals with generators, but these took a long time to pick up.
02:57In Terminal 2, there was no electricity for 20 minutes.
03:00But Dizon said that the generators should not take more than a minute to pick up.
03:06That's the latest news from the DOTR.
03:09Connie?
03:10Yes, Joseph.
03:11Has it been established how long these three OTS have been in position?
03:16And why does it seem like they don't know about these protocols?
03:22Connie, the OTS and the Department of Transportation are still investigating what really happened.
03:29Because so far, what they are saying is that the OTS really saw the bullets in a bag.
03:37The problem is that it was not established to Ms. Ruth,
03:42to Ma'am Ruth, the bag that had bullets in it.
03:48As far as the length of service, we don't know that information.
03:53According to the DOTR and OTS, they are still investigating this.
03:57And if there is a result of their investigation, they will publicize this.
04:01Because the DOTC Secretary said that there is an irregularity in their pursuit
04:07because these were already on the board, the victims.
04:11So with this, will there be a new retraining for the OTS to refresh those who have forgotten?
04:25That is also included in what was announced earlier, that the protocol will be reviewed.
04:30Because later on, some might become a hindrance or become a hindrance to their work
04:36so that if there are such infractions, it will be of no use to them.
04:40Aside from that, a hotline will be established, the Department of Transportation,
04:46for our public, for the people who will go to the airport,
04:50and there will be such an experience.
04:53It will be faster to report.
04:55Because this was asked to Secretary Dixon-Aban on March 6.
04:57If he was not asked by the media and not reported, it would not have reached him.
05:02There will be a problem with the incident report from the airport to the offices concerned there.
05:08We also asked General Bisnay,
05:11is this not an effort to destabilize the government?
05:14Because before, gunfire was a trend.
05:17But so far, what General Bisnay has seen is that there is no such broad intention
05:22to embarrass the government again, Connie.
05:25Alright, thank you very much.
05:27I am Joseph Moro.
