Jake Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 Jake, you have your opinion and I have mine. You do not have to agree with me. The opinions I express are derived from what I read in the news. Yes, I do have my opinions and I don't have to agree with you. Many of my opinions are expressed from what I read from this forum. It is an excellent source of the latest information. But I will let this stand, otherwise I may be charged with unjust vexation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medic Mike Posted November 26, 2015 Posted November 26, 2015 5 more arrested at NAIA for carrying bullets MANILA - Five more people have been arrested for alleged possession of bullets at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) since Wednesday.Dicson Flores Casco of Penablanca, Cagayan was arrested at 9 a.m., followed by Ernesto Fernandez of Sultan Kudarat around 3 p.m., Thelma Melchor Paragas of Binalay, Pangasinan at 4 p.m., and Rosalie Santiago Bulanadi of Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija at midnight.All four were released with the help of the Public Attorney's Office (PAO).According to PAO, one out of the four denied owning the bullet and may have been victimized by the so-called "tanim-bala" modus. The three others admitted using the bullets as amulets.So far, the PAO has already handled 45 cases of alleged bullets possession in NAIA.A fifth passenger was also arrested at 2:30 a.m Thursday. The Aviation Security Group said a caliber .38 bullet was detected inside the black backpack of 20-year-old Chinese national Yueqiang Xu at the initial X-ray of Terminal 1.However, ballistics test result showed the bullet is not live and unfired, thus no cases were filed against Yueqiang. http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/metro-manila/11/26/15/5-more-arrested-at-naia-for-carrying-bullets 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollygoodfellow Posted November 27, 2015 Author Posted November 27, 2015 According to PAO, one out of the four denied owning the bullet and may have been victimized by the so-called "tanim-bala" modus. The three others admitted using the bullets as amulets. Good possibility the fourth was trying to get out of it by denying ownership. As for the rest, how ridiculous with all the media hype and then still carry bullets. Sounds like a non terrorist attack to me. :no: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonjack2847 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 I`ve heard of one case where a bullet was found and it wasn`t at NAIA so I ask why is it all happening there and why are they not being found at the regional airports? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Methersgate Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I`ve heard of one case where a bullet was found and it wasn`t at NAIA so I ask why is it all happening there and why are they not being found at the regional airports? Because the metal detectors at regional airports don't work and haven't worked for years? (not entirely a serious comment!) ;-) Edited November 27, 2015 by Methersgate 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do regional airports fly to international destinations? No, I think so there is a difference in laws and when many of these terrorist , passengers get to international airports to fly elsewhere their good luck charms become problematic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaga4 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 As far as domestic airports, a local engineer who was recently visiting his project in Davao flying back to Manila was "caught" with a bullet in this luggage. He refused to pay the bribe and was arrested. He had to cough up P120,000 to bail himself out. So, it does happen in other airports. This upset Mayor Duterte of Davao who said he will make the perpetrators swallow bullets. And btw, what we read are only the ones reported because they are ones who refuse to pay up. This M.O. will continue until the authorities treat this seriously and the syndicate sees that those involved are arrested, prosecuted and incarcerated. Until then good luck in your travels. (I am now waiting for rebuttals and disagreeing views).... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
