00:00More than Php 40 million worth of shabu was blocked in Naia
00:04by the South African National who is just going on vacation here in the country.
00:08Mark Salazar was the one who got caught.
00:13In the hidden compartment of the luggage of the South African National,
00:17more than 6 kilos of methamphetamine was discovered last Saturday night
00:23in the Customs International Arrival Area in Naia Terminal 3.
00:27The drug is worth Php 42 million in the standard street value.
00:32The defense of the suspect did not know that there is an illegal drug in his luggage.
00:58It's a bit hard to accept, considering that we got almost 6 kilos from his bag.
01:06If you notice, one bag has no contents.
01:10It's impossible to get more than 6 kilos.
01:14Plus the 6 kilos plus the weight of the bag.
01:17So that's where you'll be suspected.
01:19The suspect has a tourist visa but he can't prove what his real purpose is here.
01:25He's a tourist.
01:26He just said that he doesn't have his travel documents with his contact
01:31when he contacted here.
01:34So even that is not clear to us.
01:36I was just traveling. I had some tours planned.
01:39I had a nice place booked for me to stay.
01:42Where?
01:43Close to the ocean. I don't know the exact place.
01:48I have papers on the exact place.
01:50But according to the coordinations for the investigation,
01:53the suspect has no criminal background.
01:57We filed a case against him under RA 9165, Section 4,
02:02in which importation of dangerous drugs.
02:05This case has a penalty of life imprisonment
02:10regardless of the quantity, quality, and purity.
