MANILA, Philippines — Government agents have intercepted another shipment of illegal drugs at the Central Mail Exchange Center (CMEC), involving abandoned parcels worth P6.1 million.
Port of NAIA District Collector Yasmin Mapa on Tuesday said that approximately 795 tablets of MDMA (Ecstacy), 1,096 grams of powdered ecstacy, 8 grams of cocaine, 14 grams of ketamine, and 11 grams of an undetermined substance were discovered on March 6, 2026. The items were found inside eight inbound parcels arriving from the Netherlands, France, and Spain.
The illegal substances were reportedly consigned to several individuals across the country. The shipments were falsely declared as ordinary items in an apparent attempt to evade Customs inspection.
As of March 2026, the Bureau of Customs-Ninoy Aquino International Airport (BoC-NAIA) has intercepted at least 21 parcels containing a significant volume of illegal drugs at the CMEC in Pasay City.
