Nasabat ng Bureau of Customs – Ninoy Aquino International Airport (BOC-NAIA) na pinamumunuan ni District Collector Atty. Yasmin Mapa ang tatlong abandonadong inbound parcels na may iba’t-ibang illegal drugs sa isang operation sa isang warehouse sa Pasay City.
Isinagawa ang operasyon sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) at NAIA Inter-Agency Drug Interdiction Task Group (NAIA-IADITG), kung saan nakumpiska ang 280 grams ng marijuana kush, 394 cannabis tablets at 77 grams ng amphetamine.
Ayon kay Mapa, lahat ng iyon ay ‘misdeclared’ at nai-turn over na sa PDEA para sa mas malalim na imbestigasyon at paghaharap ng kasong paglabag sa Republic Act No. 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) at Republic Act No. 10863 (Customs Modernization and Tariff Act).
Ani District Collector Atty. Mapa, “Strengthening border protection remains a top priority. This is part of our continuous commitment to keep our ports secure and to protect the public from harmful substances.”
Binigyang-diin naman ni BOC Commissioner Ariel F. Nepomuceno na, “Our mandate to secure the nation’s borders goes beyond routine enforcement, it requires constant improvement, cooperation, and readiness. We are investing in better systems, stronger coordination, and more robust safeguards to ensure that illegal drugs are stopped long before they reach our communities.” (JERRY S. TAN)
