An elderly woman, a domestic helper, and a Japanese tourist---all were arrested for the allegedly possessing bullets.
A 68-year old woman was arrested for allegedly carrying a bullet in her handbag while inside the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Manila, Philippines.
This incident happened shortly after an anonymous source exposed the devious victim-selection strategy of the “laglag-bala” syndicate, which is a group of unscrupulous airport employees whose modus is to plant bullets inside passengers’ bags.
Members of the Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group (PNP-AVSEGROUP) apprehended 68-year old Revelina A. Combis on Thursday, October 29, at 9:45 a.m. at NAIA Terminal 3 due to a caliber 45 bullet that they apparently found in her luggage.
Combis, a resident of South Poblacion, Dipaculao, Aurora, was bound for Boracay, a prime tourist destination in the Philippines. She was about to board the Philippine Airlines flight PR 2041 to Caticlan, but the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) personnel arrested her when they found the piece of ammunition.
The woman was charged with Violation of Section 28 of Republic Act 10591 or the “Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act” before that Pasay City prosecutor’s office.
The PNP-AVSEGROUP arrested two more individuals at NAIA earlier, apparently for carrying bullets.
The airport police detained Kazunobu Sakamoto, a 33-year-old Japanese tourist who was returning to his country when the personnel saw images of bullets for a 9mm pistol during the x-ray screening. The OTS also inspected Sakamoto’s bag manually and claimed that there were two bullets inside the tourist’s baggage.
The other “suspect”, 56-year-old Gloria Ortinez, a domestic helper bound for Hongkong, was said to have been carrying a bullet for a carbine rifle in her bag.
“God knows I am a victim of ‘tanim-bala’ modus in the airport by these unscrupulous OTS personnel who only want to earn easy money,” Ortinez said.
Meanwhile, Ortinez’s lawyer offered these pieces of advice to all passengers who are accused of possession of bullets:
