Davao: Airport security check
Its the Lenten season again here in the country and, as usual, Filipinos are in a state of migration, going back to one’s provinces or vacation places as catholics nationwide celebrate one of Christendom’s foundation: the passion of Jesus Christ. With the recent arrests of top Muslim extremists from JI (Jemaah Islamiya) and the Abu Sayyaf, several bombing plots have been uncovered and the police and military are on red alert. Bus terminals and airports as well as churches have increased security due to this threats.
Yesterday, I was on my way to the Davao International airport for my flight back to Cebu and these security checks greeted me.

At the entrance to the airport, vehicles as well as passengers are thoroughly checked.

Bomb sniffing dogs do the routine luggage checks

Another luggage check, this time, by the police.
People were cooperative though.
