Woman arrested for bullets in bag at Cebu airport; authorities deny ‘laglag bala’
A 47-year-old HR manager was arrested at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport (MCIA) after four bullets were discovered in her luggage.
She was scheduled to fly to Tacloban City last Thursday when an X-ray scan flagged her bag.
Authorities found the ammunition inside a pouch, which the suspect claimed was not hers and that she did not know it was in her bag.
The MCIA denied allegations of a "laglag bala" modus, with airport officials stating that any bullets found were brought by the passenger intentionally or accidentally.
The passenger failed to present documents authorizing her to possess ammunition, leading to her arrest.
She is facing charges for violating the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition and the Commission on Elections gun ban.
