                    [Summary] => CEBU — Officials of the Mactan Cebu International Airport denied that there was any security lapse in last Saturday’s grenade blast that killed the airport’s chief radar technician.


Police and airport authorities, however, are still baffled on how the grenade as well as high-powered ammunition found at the blast site slipped through security and found their way into the aviation office.

The Mactan Cebu International Airport Authority (MCIAA) called a press conference the other day, announcing that it is adopting new measures to secure the airport.

Arturo Evangelista, chief of the Police Center for Aviation Security, said the victim, Cesar Simeon, 54, could have brought in the grenade himself and it exploded by accident or someone could have brought it in with the intent to kill him.

Either way, the grenade managed to slip through the security cordon around the airport.

Airport staff dedo sa granada
CAMP CRAME May posibilidad na pinaglaruan ang granada kaya sumabog sa opisina ng radar station sa Mactan International Airport na ikinasawi ng isang staff kamakalawa ng hapon.

Nagkagutay-gutay ang katawan ni Cesar Simeon matapos na sumabog ang hawak na granada dakong alas-2:05 ng hapon sa loob mismo ng nasabing opisina.
