Tolentino then called on the BI to be consistent and equal to all passengers.
“We note your lack of resources, bearing in mind that there should be consistency and equality here,” the senator told BI officials present during the hearing. Meanwhile, he said that the Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group should meet with them and clarify responsibilities. “I think you should sit down and clarify who has the final say — the police exit clearance or the CAAP clearance — before a private plane departs,” Tolentino said.
“The designation, the delineation of runway, tarmac, exit ways should be clarified likewise,” he added.“For the OTS and the private aviation services, I think it should be streamlined. I have seen private tarmacs, private offices with their own offices for immigration,” he said.
