Two parcels containing illegal drugs which were supposed to be sent to Israel were intercepted by antinarcotics agents in a warehouse of an express courier service in Pasig City, Manila.

Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) operatives seized two plastic packages on 11 September containing 12 sachets of 'shabu’, or methamphetamine hydrochloride, weighing 120 grams.

Undersecretary Arturo Cacdac Jr., PDEA director general, said that “a representative of the unnamed courier service sought the agency’s help after the company discovered the two outbound parcels.” Cacdac said the agents immediately went to the warehouse of the courier service on Brickstone Street in Barangay (village) Kapitolyo .
