The Office for Transportation Security (OTS) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) have recently launched the Aviation Security Oversight, Reporting, and Resolution Software (ORR).
This software is designed to digitally streamline compliance monitoring processes for airports and airlines.
The ORR was developed by Lita Lee, the ICAO Cooperative Aviation Security Programme-Asia Pacific (CASP-AP) Training and Capacity Building Officer, who also conducted an orientation for the National Aviation Security Auditors of OTS’s Civil Aviation Security Division (CASD). This training equipped them with the knowledge needed to effectively use the software, facilitating the efficient generation of compliance reports.
OTS Undersecretary Crizaldo Nieves emphasized the significance of the ORR in embracing digital solutions for compliance monitoring activities.
“This transition to a digital platform will significantly enhance our compliance activities. With the launch of the ORR, we have the opportunity to expedite our reporting processes, which will further improve our timely actions to safeguard the civil aviation ecosystem. Effective oversight and compliance monitoring are crucial to maintaining adherence to both national and international standards,” stated Undersecretary Nieves.
The OTS is the sole authority responsible for the security of the Philippines’ transportation systems, including civil aviation, sea transport, land transportation, and rail infrastructure.
The orientation was attended by several key personnel, including Reginald Rapanan, Director of Transport Security Oversight and Compliance Service; Rodelio Jocson, Director of Transport Security Accreditation and Training Management Service; Alessandra Johanna Arenas, Chief of CASD; Cecilia Bona, Chief of Training and Program Development Division; Epifanio Bragais, Chief of Internal Affairs Division; Judith Rendon, Officer-In-Charge of Policy Formulation and Development Division; Winston Barquez, Chief of Threat and Risk Assessment Division; Kim Alyssa Marquez, Chief of Public Affairs Division; and other OTS staff from CASD, as well as the Systems Development and Data Management Division.
