MIAA General Manager Eric Ines expressed relief that no injuries occurred during the incident and pledged full cooperation with the BFP's investigation. "We are relieved to know that no one was hurt or injured in the incident. I have directed all pertinent MIAA units to give their full support to the BFP for the speedy completion of their investigation," said Ines.
