Collector Gerry Campo of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) Port of Mactan said that Liming Zhou, 27, arrived in Mactan at 11:25 a.m. on board Cathay Pacific Flight CX921 from Hong Kong.
Customs Cebu District Collector Rico Rey Holganza said that when Zhou’s light blue suitcase passed under the scanning machine, customs personnel noted a bulge on its side.
When asked if she had declared some goods, Zhou said she did not, which prompted the personnel to open her luggage with her consent.
“Kon imong tan-awon, patag ra ang sud sa bag. So, gitago-an (If you just looked outside, it wasn’t bulky. It seems that whatever was inside was hidden),†Atty. Holganza told Sun.Star Superbalita.
Customs personnel decided to open the lining of the suitcase after a trained dog from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) reacted to the luggage.
In a radio DyAB report, PDEA 7 K-9 handler Olibert Estillore said that customs personnel called their attention to a suspicious-looking item inside Zhou’s bag.
This prompted Estillore to let his Belgian Malinois, named Hachiko, check the Chinese national’s suitcase in the presence of personnel from BOC and the Aviation Security Unit (AVSEU) 7.
