Customs operatives on Friday morning arrested a woman after claiming a package at the airport's post office containing nearly a thousand ecstasy tablets.

A Balitanghali report identified the suspect as Clarice Joy, 20.

The woman was arrested by Customs agents after claiming a parcel containing 962 ecstasy tablets worth P1.4 million.

The report said the parcel, which arrived on April 5, came from The Netherlands and was declared as a photo album.

The suspect said that a casino dealer identified as a certain Genevie Abas paid him P2,000 to claim the parcel.
