The Office for Transportation Security (OTS), responsible for the security of the transportation systems of the country, posted a statement about the incident on its Facebook page.
The identity of the security officer involved was established and the gathering of evidence was on, it said.
“Upon receipt of the information about the recent allegations of theft involving a Security Screening Officer at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1, where a cash amounting to 300 US dollars went missing, the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) took actions to validate the information and launch its fact-finding investigation,” Office for Transportation Security (OTS) said in a statement.
Officials said four screening officers, including the woman, were placed under suspension while an investigation is on, CNN reported.

According to a report in South China Morning Post, the female officer took the money from a passenger’s hand bag when the person was undergoing an X-ray scan.
OTS said that the incident does not reflect the “code of conduct for civil servants, much more of the core values” that its members uphold.
