Civil Aviation Resources Network, March 12, 2025: According to Lianhe Zaobao, the bullet extortion incident at the Philippine airport has returned. President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos has ordered a thorough investigation, and three airport personnel have been removed from their posts.
Philippine Presidential Communications Undersecretary Castro said at a press conference on Monday (March 10) that President Ferdinand Romualdez Marcos would not tolerate such practices that harm both tourists and Filipinos, and airport personnel involved in such behavior must be punished.
A 69-year-old Filipino woman, Adele, recently recounted on social media how she was framed by three security personnel at Terminal 3 of Manila International Airport. Adele pointed out that she and her family were on a trip to Vietnam on the 6th of this month when they were suddenly stopped by security personnel at the boarding gate, claiming that she had bullets hidden in her suitcase, but no bullets were found when the luggage was checked later. She said the experience was humiliating and called on the authorities to take appropriate action to prevent other passengers from being harmed again.
The Philippine Department of Transportation announced on Monday that it had removed three people involved in the case and launched an investigation.
Manila Airport also had several similar "bullet extortion" incidents around 2015, with security personnel placing bullets in luggage, detaining passengers and forcing them to pay to "eliminate disaster." At that time, many passengers wrapped their luggage with plastic wrap to protect themselves from being opened and framed.
