President Arroyo of the Philippines has urged country officials to increase security measures following bombings on Friday in Indonesia. After the Ritz Carlton Jakarta and Marriott Hotel were targeted in a bombing thought to be orchestrated by terrorist group Jemaah Islamiyah, governments worldwide have begun to ask the hotel industry to increase security measures and prevent occurrences like this in other countries. In addition, Deputy presidential spokesperson Lorelei Fajardo commented that the public could lend a hand to intensify security measures, especially if members of the public alert authorities to potential terrorist activity. “It is also good warning to the private [sector] to be prepared on their own in terms of security,” added Fajardo, saying that the private sector and the government need to cooperate. With these added security measures in countries we enjoy visiting, we'll soon be traveling with more confidence.
