A 33-year-old Filipina was arrested Tuesday night at the Shanghai Pudong International Airport in China after authorities discovered heroin inside the five pairs of shoes in her carry-on luggage, Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) Vicento "Tito" Sotto III said Wednesday.
In a press conference after the House subcommittee hearing on the proposed 2009 budget for the DDB, Sotto said the woman, whom he refused to identify, flew to China from Manila aboard a Cebu Pacific 5J678 flight.
She was carrying a tourist visa, Sotto said.
Sotto said authorities are still determining the specific amount of heroin found in the shoes, which he described as high-heeled.
On September 15, a 25-year-old Filipino was likewise arrested in the same airport after boarding another Cebu Pacific 5J678 flight from Manila.
Sotto said they are studying the possibility that Philippine airport authorities are involved in the drug-trafficking incidents. - GMANews.tv
