MANILA, Philippines – The Bureau of Customs on Wednesday, September 14, intercepted around 5,000 pieces of ecstasy – having an estimated street value of approximately P7.5 million – as well as an undetermined weight of amphetamines at the Manila Central Post Office.
The interception of the parcels – which originated from the Netherlands – was carried out by a team made up of the Customs Anti-Illegal Drugs Task Force (CAIDTF), the Port of Manila Collection District, and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).
Of the 5 parcels, 3 were consigned to a certain Don Arnold, while two were consigned to a Martin Domingo.
The amphetamines found in one of the 5 parcels are classified as dangerous drugs under Republic Act 9165, requiring an import permit from the PDEA.
Customs officials added the modus of drug syndicates is to order illegal drugs online using fake identities and paying through bitcoin, then coursing the drugs through the Philippine Postal Service (PhilPost).
An in-depth investigation is underway to identify who was involved in this activity. – Rappler.com
