The Department of Transportation (DOTr) Regional Management Council (RMC) 7 will undergo a joint briefing about security measures to protect the traveling public during the Holy Week.
The Regional Management Council (RMC 7) is made up of the different offices such as Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Land Transportation Office (LTO), Cebu Port Authority (CPA), Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA), Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) and Philippine Coast Guard-Central Visayas District (PCG-CVD).
We are working with GMR-Megawide Cebu Airport Corp. (GMCAC) as well as with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) and the Office of Transportation Security (OTS) to ensure that our facilities and services are adequate to cater to more passengers who might divert from Boracay to Cebu,” MCIAA assistant general manager Gleen Napuli said.
For the safety of tourists as well as ordinary passengers, we are monitoring vessel movements with the help of auxiliary groups to check out suspicions elements,” PCG-CVD Deputy Commander Edgar Boado said.
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board 7 Director Ahmed Cuizon said that they discussed preparations for a possibly higher influx of tourists in Cebu and Central Visayas in light of environmental concerns in Boracay, a popular beach destination in Malay, Aklan. Many will be expecting a safe a fruitful trip to the Central Visayas during the Holy Week.
