AIRPORT authorities are investigating the case of a Filipina who was able to leave the country with 720 grams of suspected cocaine and flew to Hong Kong where she was arrested and criminally charged for drug trafficking.
Manila International Airport Authority general manager Eddie Monreal ordered a probe of officials at the security checks at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminals 2 and 3 after the 37-year-old Filipina working as a telephone operator at Hong Kong was able to fly out with the contraband.
“We are trying to establish what flight and what time she departed and who are the personnel on duty that day and time,” Monreal said, adding that MIAA started its investigation with the airline companies to find out where the still unnamed Filipina took her flight to Hong Kong.
