analyse all these reports.” said Paulo Martins Chan, DICJ director.
The executive said
its already been arranged to implement further security measures, as well as more communication between the operators and the PJ. He also anticipated there will be more meetings between the PJ and casino companies.
One of the main casino operators in Macau, Melco
Resorts and Entertainment (Philippines) Corp. detailed some of the new security measures to be implemented. "Following the incident at Resorts World Manila, we are on heightened alert. [We have] augmented security personnel further and received additional support from local law enforcement,” the company stated.
The local unit of Macau casino giant Melco is the operator of City of Dreams Manila in Pagcor Entertainment City.
"For the safety of our guests and colleagues which
is our paramount concern at all times, strict security measures are implemented around and in our property. We have
security presence at every entrance that is also supplemented with metal detectors, X-ray
machines and canine support,” Melco said.
The firm said it was conducting pat downs, bag
checks and car inspections. It said there were also armed guards at the perimeter of the property, inside the garage, and near or inside entryways. "With our collective efforts, we hope we can all get back to making the Philippines one that its citizens can be proud of and a destination that tourists are fond of,” it added.
