THE ZAMBOANGA City Integrated Bus Terminal upgraded its security with the installation of a Smith Heimann baggage X-ray machine as the local government prepares for the new normal.
Rafael Derick Garcellano Evangelista III, the supervising transportation and regulation officer, said the German-made machine is the same being used at the passenger terminals of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila.
He said highly-trained technicians are expected
to arrive here soon to conduct a comprehensive and step-by-step training to local
operators of the X-ray machine.
The acquisition of the X-ray machine was
recommended by security forces and also part of the local government’s
priority, according to Evangelista, who thanked Mayor Beng Climaco for the
upgrade.
Evangelista said they expect another baggage X-ray machine by next
year since the bus terminal is a vital installation here.
Just
recently, the Regional Mobile Force Battalion 9 of the Philippine National
Police also conducted a briefing on bomb awareness for employees,
security guards and bus drivers and their conductors at the bus terminal.
