The Bureau of Customs at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Thursday has seized over P56.9 million worth of hybrid cannabis.
The bureau did not reveal the shipment’s country of origin or the name of the owners, but said the contraband was concealed in packages declared as regular consumer goods, including clothing, magazines, and various household items.
The confiscated items were turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency for proper disposition and case buildup.
“These interdictions show that our frontline units remain relentless in protecting our borders. By working closely with our partner agencies, we are denying criminal syndicates the opportunity to use our ports and courier channels to move illegal drugs into the country,” Customs Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno said.
