FOLLOWING yesterday’s Senate hearing on trafficked OFWs in Myanmar, MIAA General Manager Cesar Chiong has directed a thorough probe into the alleged use of fake airport passes to aid in human trafficking attempts.
On four separate occasions in October and this month, MIAA contracted security guards in NAIA Terminal 3 thwarted attempts of four passengers posing as employees of an airport concessionaire, to leave the country bypassing immigration formalities. They have been endorsed to the Inter-agency Council Against Trafficking (IACAT) for disposition.
The MIAA deplores this act against humanity and vows to fully support multi-agency initiatives to bring the perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice.
With the continued help of law enforcement agencies, the Bureau of Immigration and the intelligence community, the MIAA shall continue to beef up security measures to further safeguard the lives and uphold the dignity of our Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) passing through the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
