Four baggage x-ray machines will be installed at Pier 1 and Pier 3, and two at Fifth Street, Passenger Terminal for Manila to beef up security measures in domestic ports and facilitate the comfortable travel of people.

These baggage x-ray machines are expected to arrive from Manila next week, according to Aimee Sibul, the spokesperson of the Cebu Ports Authority.
