Malacañang has assured that sufficient security measures are
being implemented in the country, especially following the bomb attacks in
Belgium that left 34 people dead.
Communication Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. said the
government is strict in securing public places in the country.
These security measures in airports and terminals, he said,
include the inspection of people and vehicles, and X-ray scans of baggage,
hand-carried items and cargoes.
The Palace official further quoted Philippine Ambassador to
Belgium Victoria Bataclan as saying that no Filipino has been killed or injured
during the terror attacks.
Coloma also advised Filipinos in Belgium to remain vigilant
and heed the call of Belgian authorities if they have announcements.
According to news reports, two explosions were heard at the
Brussels airport and another at a busy train station in the Belgian capital on
Tuesday, killing some 34 people and injuring about 250.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the
coordinated bombing but Belgian authorities are still determining whether the
terror group is behind the attacks. (PCOO News Release)
