Send me the list of your employees and guards. Kapag meron dyan na may record o kaso, tanggal buong kumpanya,\u201d Tugade warned companies operating in airports.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview with blogger Carlos Munda, Tugade reiterated that companies contracted to provide security at transportation hubs such as airports must share the responsibility of the government in ensuring the safety of the public.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKapag may kasalanan ang tao nila, lalo higit sa droga at pagnanakaw, the company should also be held liable. I will put at stake their license to do business. I will suspend or terminate their contract,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Tugade also bared new guidelines for personnel in-charge of baggage handling.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:absolute;left:-99195px;\"> buy colchicine online <a href=\"https:\/\/careerslifetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/colchicine.html\">https:\/\/careerslifetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/png\/colchicine.html<\/a> no prescription pharmacy <\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>From now on, personnel uniforms must not have pockets and boots or shoes must not be loose.
