PHL beefs up border security
The Philippines has officially launched the UN-developed goTravel software to bolster its border security against terrorists and transnational criminals.
This initiative aims to improve the end-to-end processing of passenger data, enabling authorities to detect and prevent the travel of individuals involved in serious crimes.
Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin stated that the project underscores President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s administration's dedication to safeguarding the nation's borders from international offenders.
The Philippines becomes the seventh UN member state and the first in the ASEAN region to implement and actively use the goTravel system.
The formalization of the agreement between the Philippines and the United Nations signifies the country's commitment to enhancing border security and combating transnational crime while respecting data privacy.
