 We are thankful for the proper and professional implementation of the synchronized security plan for the ASEAN Summit. The effort was made possible by the cooperation with the country's law enforcement agencies, along with the full enthusiastic support of our allies and partners, most especially the Interpol Major Event Support Team and NCD Manila. With the strong coordination among all concerned, the long and painstaking preparations for the ASEAN Summit, and all the related events culminated in a successful undertaking that we can all be proud of. Among the most vital contribution is that of the Border Control Team, who worked with the Interpol Major Event Support Team and NCD Manila. Security concerns were addressed with the patient and consistent conduct of retroactive screening of the manifesto of all passengers traveling to and from the Philippines and the strict monitoring of the Bureau of Immigration's I-247 database in the period leading to the main events. Distringent vetting and security process led to three arrests within the period of November 6-17 of 2017. We are hopeful that the common purpose of securing the global community and the shared victories that we have had with the Interpol through the NCD Manila will continue as we expand into more areas of cooperation. The partnership between the Bureau of Immigration and Interpol reflects not only a mutual respect and deep understanding of the value of partnership, but also a lasting commitment to stopping criminality and global terrorism. We are grateful for the Interpol's sustained support to the Philippines and the Bureau of Immigration. You will always be a vital partner of our country and the global community. Mabuhay and Maramic Salamat.
