00:23At a press conference on Wednesday, the National Bureau of Investigation saved the two Filipinas
00:29who were hiding their identities for their protection.
00:33The two Filipinas were recruited for follow-up operations
00:38for the 25 million pesos worth of cocaine from a drug courier in Pasay City last January.
00:45There are two Filipinas who are being recruited by the African Drug Syndicate to Malaysia.
00:57All expenses are paid at $500 to $5,000 if the work continues.
01:08From Malaysia, the drugs will be delivered to Hong Kong.
01:16In cooperation with the NBI Dangerous Drugs Division Unit in the Malaysian authorities,

01:30was blocked before it reached the two Filipinas.

01:35According to the NBI, the African Drug Trafficking Syndicate is only selecting
01:40Filipinos who are financially distressed or in need of money,
01:44have no job, and are fluent in English.
01:48The African will be held accountable in Malaysia
01:51while the two Filipinas will be given counseling for their criminal liability.
