PPA: Asean summit security checks may affect import deliveries

The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) told cargo owners and consignees that import deliveries may be affected by the stringent security procedures for the duration of the Asean Summit in Manila, but that there would be sufficient port capacity to manage incoming shipments.

“The Manila ports will observe normal port operations but on a calibrated approach as we have to give way to the Asean Summit,” PPA General Manager Jay Daniel R. Santiago said in a statement on Thursday.
