Woman in Baguio City arrested after claiming P3-M party-drugs delivery

Baguio City, Philippines – A woman ended in the hands of authorities after claiming a parcel containing P3,031,100 worth of party drugs or ecstasy during a joint controlled delivery operation along the Ambuclao Road in Gibraltar, Baguio City afternoon of August 12.

The Bureau of Customs identified the suspect as a certain Elisa Millare Aguirre, an identified drug personality from Quezon City.

The joint controlled delivery operation that led to the arrest of Aguirre started when a package from Neuss, Germany, arrived at the Central Mail Exchange Center on July 13, 2021. The parcel, as indicated in the package, was supposed to contain a bedsheet, children’s pencils, and a pair of shoes.

However, on July 14, 2021, when the package was subjected to a non-intrusive x-ray scanning and physical examination, it was discovered that it actually contained 1,783 pieces of tablets in assorted colors.

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, based on laboratory test and chemical analysis results, later confirmed the tablets to be ‘ecstasy.’

With this, an entrapment operation was staged and operatives delivered the package to the address of a certain Joyce Ann San Antono in Baguio City. However, it was Aguirre who came to receive the package.

Aguirre is now under the custody of PDEA and will be charged for violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 in relation to Section 119 and 1401 of RA 10863 or the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.

The Bureau of Customs then warned individuals and entities engaged in unscrupulous activities that the Bureau of Customs, with other law enforcement agencies, will continue to protect the nation against illegal importations and ensure that violators of the law will be held accountable.
