Stricter baggage inspection at Cebu bus terminal after firearms intercepted
BAGGAGE INSPECTION procedures at the Cebu South Bus Terminal (CSBT), managed by the provincial government, will now be stricter after three gunrunners with 40 unregistered .45 caliber pistols were caught last weekend by the Philippine Coast Guard. The suspects loaded the illegal firearms on a bus at the CSBT and were on board a boat bound for Dapitan City in Mindanao. CSBT administrator Joey Herrera, in a statement from the Cebu provincial government, asked the riding public “to bear with the strict protocol enforced by the security guards” to avoid a repeat of the incident.
