(GMA News) The Bureau of Customs-Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, and the NAIA Inter-Agency Drug Interdiction Task Group arrested two claimants of three packages containing 9,243 ecstasy tablets worth over P15.7 million.

In a statement on Tuesday, the BOC said the nabbed claimants were identified as Rowena Canapit and Michael de Guzman. The two presented an authorization letter from the consignee, a certain Glory Joy Buzeta, in claiming the packages in the Quezon City Postal Office.

The BOC said the packages were shipped by a certain Agner Buzeta and Victor Martis from the Netherlands and were declared as “handbags and shoes,” “baby clothes,” and “clothes.

“The seized ecstasy tablets were initially discovered when the X-ray images thereof yielded suspicious items, prompting the assigned Customs Examiner to conduct 100% physical examination of the subject packages,” the BOC said.

During the physical examination, the ecstasy tablets were found concealed in the false space or compartment of each side of the subject packages, the BOC said.
