Customs agents seized over P2 million worth of ecstasy and ketamine drugs sent as mail parcels in Pasay City.

According to the Bureau of Customs (BOC), the 1,115 ecstasy tablets and 26.4 grams of ketamine were found inside five mail parcels that arrived at the Central Mail Exchange Center from the Netherlands and Germany.

The parcels, which bore no shipper details, were consigned to individuals from Caloocan, Mandaluyong, Bulacan and Davao. They were initially tagged suspicious by the X-ray Inspection Project personnel.
