Security up at sea ports,
 terminals after holidays
BY ADRIAN NEMES III

Security is up in different sea ports and bus terminals in Bacolod City in preparation for the arrival of those returning from vacation today.

PCG-Bacolod chief, Lt. Cmdr. Domenador Senador said the situation at the BREDCO port yesterday is still manageable but they expect an influx of travelers today since the Banago wharf has been temporarily shut for renovation.

Senador said PCG personnel are checking strictly the luggage of travelers and, so far, no contrabands have been seized. He said they are also ensuring that the sea vessels are not overloaded before they are allowed to sail.moremoremore
