Security at the country's airports has been intensified Friday following the carnage in Mumbai, India that has killed at least 100 people.

The Philippine National Police-Aviation Security Group said that it has placed more personnel at air terminals, especially the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, after self-proclaimed Islamic militants launched raids in India's financial capital on Thursday.

The PNP said that the anti-hijacking and terrorism unit of the ASG has been put on standby status as a result of the attacks in India.

Officials also advised travelers to report any suspicious baggage or individual to the police.

The Philippine Coast Guard, meanwhile, said similar security precautions have been set up at all ports in the country.

Earlier Friday, a Philippine embassy official assured Filipinos that the two Filipinas trapped inside the besieged Trident Hotel in Mumbai, India, are safe.

"I just received a text message from one of the girls saying they're okay and have rested," charge d'affaires Ma. Aniceta Bugarin of the Philippine embassy in New Delhi said over ABS-CBN's morning show, "Umagang Kay Ganda."

Bugarin added that one of the still unnamed Filipinas informed her that as of 3 a.m. (Mumbai time) she has not heard any gunshots and it was peaceful. The Filipina said Indian commandos were still conducting door-to-door clearing operations inside the Trident Hotel.

All quiet at the Taj

Earlier reports said the two Filipinas were trapped inside a room on the hotel's 10th floor. The Filipinas were with two Thai masseuses in the hotel room.

The Filipinas are wives of two Filipino sous-chefs at the hotel's Tiffen restaurant. The chefs and another Filipino had escaped from the hotel.

Bugarin said the embassy has yet to receive information if there were other Filipinos trapped at the hotel.

Editha Alba-Khorakiwala, a Filipina living in Mumbai, meanwhile, also told "Umagang Kay Ganda" that no gunshots have been heard since midnight (Mumbai time).

"Ang Taj Hotel medyo quiet (It was all quiet at the Taj Hotel)," she said.

Fight for Mumbai

As of late Thursday, Indian commandos were still fighting to regain control of Mumbai.

India's prime minister, meanwhile, said the attacks were perpetuated by a "terrorist" group outside the country.

Police said 119 people were killed and 315 were wounded when a small army of gunmen -- at least some of whom arrived by sea -- fanned out across Mumbai to attack sites popular with tourists and businessmen, including two luxury hotels.

Commandos were fighting room-to-room battles in the two hotels to rescue people trapped by the militants, police said.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh blamed militant groups based in India's neighbors, usually meaning Pakistan, raising fears of renewed tension between the nuclear-armed rivals.

"It is evident that the group which carried out these attacks, based outside the country, had come with single-minded determination to create havoc in the commercial capital of the country," he said in a televised address. "We will take the strongest possible measures to ensure that there is no repetition of such terrorist acts."

Around two dozen militants in their early 20s, armed with automatic rifles and grenades and carrying backpacks full of ammunition, had fanned out across Mumbai to attack sites across the city, which also included a Jewish center. With Reuters
