MANILA, Philippines —  Illegal marijuana products worth P480,400 were intercepted on Jan. 16 at a warehouse in Pasay.

Declared as accessories and candies, the parcel contained 0.32 kilos of dried marijuana as well as eight vape cartridges of cannabis oil.

The seized items and claimant were turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency for proper disposition and inquest proceedings.

“This interception underscores the Bureau of Customs’ continued efforts to detect and prevent the entry of illegal drugs through postal and courier channels. We remain firm in safeguarding our borders and protecting the public,” BOC Commissioner Ariel Nepomuceno said.
