Customs seizes P3.1-M marijuana at NAIA

MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Customs turned over on Monday to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency some P3.1 million worth of marijuana found in a parcel at the Central Mail Exchange Center in Pasay City.

The BOC said the parcel from California was misdeclared as “chocolate, green tea, black tea, shirts.”

But during the inspection, Customs examiners at Ninoy Aquino International Airport found four packs of kush marijuana inside the package.
