This will start on January 7, 2019. Saudization starts in 2011 as part of the Kingdom's initiative to encourage Saudi national to work in the private sector.

“When you steal from OFWs, they who are returning from long and low-paying hard labor abroad, then you are an enemy of the state,” Recto said.

Recto added this crime only add up to a negative connotation with NAIA as one of the worst airports in the world in terms of passengers facilities.

“You are paying airport security fee, and then your things are not secured. So what’s the use of paying for your security and the security of your things,” added Recto.

With this, Recto said, a serious airport clean-up drive is needed, not only in NAIA but also in all airports in the Philippines.

 Only this month when Recto instructed airport security to investigate the alleged new case of "Laglag Bala" in NAIA where according to report, a Korean student is a new victim.

New 'Laglag Bala' In NAIA?


After a year of hibernating, is 'Laglag Bala' thriving a new in Ninoy Aquino International Airport?

In a Facebook post of Jo Vidal, he said the latest victim was a Korean student who departs the country through Terminal 3 around 3 or 4 am.




 After a year of hibernating, is 'Laglag Bala' thriving a new in Ninoy Aquino International Airport?

This is a question of many after a netizen post in his Facebook account regarding the alleged new victim of Laglag Bala in NAIA.

In a Facebook post of Jo Vidal, he said the latest victim was a Korean student who departs the country through Terminal 3 around 3 or 4 am.

"The student is of course traumatized," Vidal wrote in her post. "The Korean community feels terrible about what happened."

With this, investigation was launched immediately by Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) with Office of the Transport Security (OTS)

In a statement, the Department of Transporation (DOTr) Secretary Arthur Tugade instruct its people to act on this matter with utmost urgency.




 Meanwhile, MIAA General Manager Eddie Monreal warns airport personnel that they will face permanent termination if found to be responsible in "laglag bala" o planting ammunition.

"If this was really the intention of airport security personnel, heads will roll," Monreal emphasized.

But according to the initial investigation, as of Sunday afternoon, July 31, there were no official complaints reported nor encoded into security log books.

Monreal believed that the alleged victim made it through two x-ray machines and was intercepted at the final bag-check, where a bullet would be discovered inside a jacket pocket or in hand-carry luggage.

He added, whether or not a bullet was found on the Korean student identified in the post, the student most likely got on her plane which took off with no delay.

Based on the new airport rules, any passenger caught with one or two bullets could still catch their flight without delay as long as the incident was logged.

It was July last year that President Rodrigo Duterte prohibits authorities from arresting passengers for bullets in their luggage after it victimized many passengers, especially the elderly and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW).
