Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez on Monday demanded the resignation of Office for Transportation Security chief Ma’O Aplasca for failing
to stop repeated “nefarious activities” by security personnel at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport .
The House leader aired his frustration over Aplasca in the wake of reports of the latest report of theft of money by a female OTS security scanner from a departing Chinese tourist. “We cannot let these atrocious activities and other acts of misconduct at the airport to continue to take place. It’s bad for the country and the economy,” he said.
In a decision promulgated September 21, the Sandiganbayan Seventh Division ordered Asliyah Alonto Maruhom to pay a fine of P5,000 after she pleaded guilty to violating section 7 of Republic Act No. 6713 or the Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees. The scam saw 143 mostly Chinese foreigners enter the Philippines as tourists and later work for Philippine Offshore Gaming Operations hubs, each paying Immigration personnel around P10,000.
