The illegal drugs, which were seized by Bureau of Customs personnel at the Central Mail Exchange Center in NAIA, reportedly came from the Netherlands through a certain G. Voorthuzen. They were declared as light boxes.

The shipment arrived in October last year but was only examined on Thursday after nobody claimed it for months.

A total of 1,269 tablets of ecstasy worth P2.157 million were found in the package.

The drugs will be turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency within the day. —KBK, GMA News
