MANILA, Philippines — Data from the Office of Transportation Security (OTS) showed that a total of 1,394 ammunition-related incidents have so far been reported at Philippine airports this year.
Transportation Secretary Joseph Emilio Abaya said the cases of "laglag bala" or bullet planting in airport terminals "have been blown out of proportion."
Abaya added that an average of 1,500 cases of ammunition-related incidents in airports have been recorded every year.
Meanwhile, OTS Administrator Roland Recomono noted that ammunition being found in passengers' bags is not uncommon. — Patricia Lourdes Viray
