NAIA AIRLINE PASSENGERS WARNED: DON’T USE ALUMINUM FOIL

Leave a comment

imageMANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Yesterday, we reported that the Philippine government has approved the importation of 500 tons of plastic wrap in order to meet the  demand resulting from the laglag bala scheme whereby bullets are allegedly being planted in bags of unsuspecting passengers going through the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for purposes of extortion.

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Many passengers, unable to procure plastic wrap to protect their luggage from being targeted by the schemers, are turning to aluminum foil which is plenty in  supply from local supermarkets and other retailers in Metro Manila.

But these passengers only end up in frustration upon arriving at NAIA to be told that aluminum foil cannot be used to wrap their bags because it is against airport security regulations.

Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) General Manager Jose Angel Honrado said that x-ray cameras cannot see through aluminum foil and won’t be able to detect bullets, illegal substances and other prohibited items.

Honrado warned that bags wrapped in aluminum foil will be confiscated and will not be allowed on board any departing aircraft.

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Presidential candidate Mar Roxas on Tuesday raised the possibility that the “laglag bala scheme” at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) may be part of a “demolition job” against the government, coming just days leading to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders Summit in Metro Manila.

The former Interior Secretary’s words, somehow,  were very similar to what singer and Yellowtard Cynthia Patag said the day before on her Instagram account. Or shall we say exactly the same.

Patag was not happy that Roxas was mimicking her, and is planning to sue the Liberal Party standard bearer for plagiarism.

Roxas countered by saying that Patag didn’t know what she was talking about, labeling the scheme as “dagdag bala”  instead of “laglag bala.”

Here’s Patag’s Instagram post.  We’ll let our readers decide who copied whom:

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Facing intense criticism resulting from the laglag bala scheme at Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA), President NoyNoy Aquino says it’s not a big deal considering what has happened in the U.S.

Laglag bala is reportedly an airport scam wherein bullets are planted in bags of unsuspecting passengers for the purpose of extortion.

“These are isolated cases, and involve only tiny bullets,” Aquino said.

“I wish the media would do their homework so that they know that a much bigger scheme involving more than just tiny bullets has happened in the United States in the past,” Aquino added, referring to this video released by Malacañang’s press office:
