The Bureau of Customs - Ninoy Aquino International Airport (BOC-NAIA) seized P7.9 million worth of kush, a high-grade marijuana variant weighing 5.703 kilograms, in Pasay City.

The illegal narcotic was found concealed in ten parcels flagged for irregularities during inspection operations at the Central Mail Exchange Center (CMEC).

The BOC indicated that those involved in concealing the parcels will face charges for violations of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 and the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.

Authorities are now tracking down the intended recipients of the confiscated parcels.

The confiscated parcels were turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency for further case build up.

BOC Commissioner Bienvenido Rubio reaffirmed the agency's commitment to keeping the community safe from illegal drugs.

District Collector Yasmin Mapa stated that CMEC has long been a key entry point for drug shipments hidden in parcels.
