THE Bureau of Customs (BOC) has foiled an attempt to smuggle over P7.9 million worth of high-grade marijuana or kush into the country through the Ninoy Aquino international Airport (NAIA).
The shipment, consisting of 10 parcels consigned to different recipients, was flagged during inspection operations at the Central Mail Exchange Center (CMEC) in Pasay City.

“Examination revealed a total of 5.703 kilograms of kush concealed within the shipments,” BOC-NAIA district collector Yasmin Mapa said.
The parcels were turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency for further investigation and filing of criminal cases.
