00:00We will continue to talk about that. We have with us the Office for Transportation Security Administrator and the Secretary, Artur Bisnar.
00:09Lusig Bisnar, good morning.
00:11Good morning, Egan.
00:14What is the latest in the investigation on the three OTS personnel that were complained about?
00:21As of now, since Sunday, when this issue came up, the initial investigation started and yesterday, they were formally subjected for investigation, the actual investigation.
00:42Did the three of them say why they were not flagged or detected on their first visit to the X-ray machine, as you mentioned, as if there's something wrong with it?
00:55Yes. They admitted that there was a delay in determining our X-ray operator, that there's a shell, shell casing that was detected, not actual ammunition.
01:14Okay. Where were the three OTS placed? Were they there in the X-ray machine?
01:22They just said that they were there when they were spotted. Will the OTS be ordered to spot them?
01:29Yes. In the screening area, our X-ray machine is there.
01:36Yes.
01:38Usually, we have five to seven personnel per machine, per checkpoint, security checkpoint.
01:47At that time, they have their own duties. They have a supervisor. So they are there. There are five of them.
01:57So who will be ordered to spot the bag of this passenger?
02:02When the X-ray operator determined that there's a prohibited item in the bag, he will be the one to flag, he will be the one to say that a manual inspection is needed.
02:23How far is the X-ray machine from the boarding gate?
02:27I was not able to get the actual distance, but I don't know.
02:41What you're complaining about is why it didn't reach the boarding gate.
02:46It should have reached the screening area where you're saying that the passenger was spotted.
02:52Yes. That's right.
02:54That's where the problem is.
03:00Because their detection was delayed, their flagging was delayed.
03:07It's a case of mistaken identity.
03:12Upon review of the CCTV, they are not...
03:16Yes. The passenger was told that the X-ray picture was not matched with the contents of the bag.
03:26So it means that there's something else, but there's a bag inside.
03:33Yes. They were not detected. They were not pinpointed on who was the tagger.
03:41But upon review of the CCTV, we found that...
03:46We are trying to identify them.
03:49Actually, they are geriatrics, senior citizens.
03:54Okay. But I'm avoiding to call it planting bullets.
04:00Can you consider it as a mistake like the previous incidents in Paliparan?
04:07No. In fairness to all involved, OTS personnel,
04:16I don't think they have the intention to plant bullets or plant evidence on the complainant.
04:28Yes. So Usec, what are the changes that you will recommend in the inspection protocol to avoid this?
04:39First, let me take this opportunity to say that on behalf of OTS,
04:49I am asking for a dispensary to investigate the...
04:59Victims?
05:00The passengers involved.
05:03Yes.
05:04Second, in order for our secretary...
05:14Other than the investigation, there needs to be institutional changes.
05:20This is in the form of policy review and privacy.
05:26This includes training because there needs to be sensitivity training.
05:34Yesterday, after the press conference with the secretary,
05:41I made a list of the terminal ships all over the country.
05:47I told them what happened and what are the expectations, especially those who are not following the rules.
05:59This is a simple smirk.
06:05Yes. It's insulting.
06:08Yes. It's a big insult because it depends on the situation.
06:17Yes.
06:18Simple facial contortion has a different meaning for people like Ma'am Ruth Adel and Kay.
06:35Okay. Thank you very much, Office for Transportation Secretary-Administrator Undersecretary Artur Bisnar. Be careful.
06:44Thank you very much Egan. Thank you very much.
