00:00The highest number of passengers registered was the Paranaque Integrated Terminal Exchange or PITX
00:07during the past holiday season.
00:09At the same time, the so-called terminal was being looked at,
00:11their security was being enforced.
00:14Here is the story of Bernard Ferrer.
00:18The PITX registered more than 2.5 million passengers
00:22from December 20, 2024 until January 2, 2025.
00:26It will soon reach 3 million passengers until January 6.
00:30This is the highest number of passengers during Christmas and New Year.
00:35At the same time, the PITX was looking at their security.
00:39Our PNP augmentation is ongoing.
00:42And of course, when it comes to the terminal,
00:45the security is still tight because everything is still being checked.
00:49In fact, more than 700 prohibited items were confiscated from passengers
00:54from December 20, 2024 until January 1, 2025.
00:58These include lighters, knives, cutter blades, chisels,
01:02butane gas, firecrackers, firecrackers, LPG tanks, and armed five-fingers.
01:07Passengers are also approved for the security at the terminal.
01:11It's good for the passengers.
01:16There are a lot of people here at the terminal.
01:18It's only natural that they check what they bring.
01:20The public continues to warn against bringing prohibited items
01:24such as sharp objects and flammable materials
01:27so that the security at the terminal will not be affected.
