MANILA\u00a0— The \u201ctanim-bala\u201d extortion scheme,which involves the planting of bullets in passengers\u2019 luggage, will not be tolerated under the Duterte administration, Special Assistant to the President (SAP) Christopher \u201cBong\u201d Go said Saturday.<\/p>\n

Go made this remark following a report that passenger Kristine Bumanglag-Moran was recently caught with a bullet in her luggage on Friday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Bumanglag-Moran posted about her experience on a Facebook status and it has since then gone viral.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe reiterate – the Duterte Administration will never tolerate this modus operandi,\u201d Go said in a statement noting that the Office of the President has ordered concerned agencies to address the concern within 24 hours.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are expecting them to comply or face the consequences,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Go also warned extortionists that President Rodrigo R. Duterte himself said he would let them \u201ceat\u201d the bullets if it happens again.<\/p>\n

\u201cSinabi na ng Pangulong Duterte noon, na pag nangyari pa ito, ipapakain niya yung bala sa taong gumawa<\/em>\u00a0(President Duterte previously said that if this happens again, he will let the persons responsible eat the bullets) and I assure everyone, he will really do it,\u201d Go said.<\/p>\n

MIAA to check complaint<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA), for its part, assured that it would have the Office for Transportation Security (OTS) check on the veracity of the claim as a matter of procedure,<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) shall assist the OTS by conducting a parallel probe to bring out the truth to the claim. We shall coordinate with the passenger directly for the result of investigations,\u201d MIAA said in a statement Saturday.<\/p>\n

“We assure the public that \u2018tanim-bala\u2019 is a thing of the past. Passengers found to have bullets or bullet-like items in their bags are now allowed to take their flight after proper logging of the incident. Prohibited items like bullets or ammunition whether as amulets or for any purpose are subject for confiscation,\u201d MIAA\u2019s statement added.<\/p>\n

MIAA reminded the public that finding bullets or bullet-like items was not \u201cunusual\u201d in NAIA noting that records show that some passengers still carry these items in their bags claiming that they serve as amulets.<\/p>\n
