Three committees of the House of Representatives in the Philippines have recommended no charges be filed against Resorts World Manila following the lone gunman attack of June 2017, which saw 38 people killed.
According to local reports, the House Panels on public order and safety, games and amusements and tourism approved their joint committee report on the investigation into the attack.
While the report admitted that RWM management had committed lapses in security, it merely recommended the company review its security policies and strengthen its security and safety programmes to avoid a similar situation in the future.
The “security lapses” mentioned in the report included lapses in the security system, lack of an effective security plan and protocol, lack of training and reduced deployment of personnel and the actions of the CCTV operators who failed to track the whereabouts of the victims and to coordinate efficiently with the first respondents.
