00:18Two Filipinos were paid to be drug buoys of a West African syndicate in Gip, Malaysia.
00:24At the press conference on Wednesday morning, the National Bureau of Investigation arrested the two Filipinos
00:31who were hiding their identities for their protection.
00:35According to NBI Director Jaime Santiago, the two Filipinos were brought to Malaysia
00:40and they will receive 2.6 kilograms of cocaine worth 15.6 million pesos that they will bring to Hong Kong.
00:50But with the help of NBI and Malaysian authorities, the drug package was blocked before it reached the Filipinos
00:57and an African drug courier was arrested.
01:00It was found out that the Filipinos were paid P5,000 or P300,000 less.
01:08The arrested African was taken to Malaysia for interrogation while the two Filipinos were given counseling
01:17and they will not face criminal liability.
01:20Director Santiago also said that because of the successful operation,
01:25they were able to avoid the occurrence of another very dangerous case.
01:31That's all for now.
01:34Thank you very much Harley Valbuena.
