PDEA-CL seizes P8.5M ecstasy pills in package declared as lamp
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, PAMPANGA — Assorted party drugs worth at least P8,500,000 were seized on Tuesday from a female consignee by combined operatives of PDEA Central Luzon, PDEA-NCR, BOC-Port of Clark, PNP units.
PDEA agents identified the consignee as Ana Fe Morilla alias Jonah Ileve, of Guava St. CAA PH2 Las Piñas City.
Authorities said the package containing the ecstasy tablets arrived at the Port of Clark from Belgium last December 3 and was declared as “lamp.”
“In the initial test using the Rigaku narcotics device, the package indicated the presence of MDMA, which prompted us to conduct a controlled delivery operation,” PDEA Clark AIU chief said.
Seized from Morilla were 4,970 pieces of ecstasy tablets with a street value of P8,500,000, a cellular phone and two IDs.
The suspect will be charged with violation of Section 4 (importation of dangerous drugs), of Article II of Republic Act 9165.
