MANILA, Philippines – Two passengers were recently accosted by airport authorities for possessing ammunition, the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) said Friday.

OTS identified the waylaid passengers as Joseph Theodore Atila and Spark Pableo.

Atila was intercepted last January 30 at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport while passing through security screening, according to OTS. Authorities seized eight pieces of suspected live ammunition from Atila.

OTS said Atila was not able to provide the required papers for the ammunition, thus, “was endorsed to the law enforcement officer for proper disposition.”
