The package was reportedly consigned to a certain Ana Fe Morilla, alias Jonat Ileve, of Las Piñas City who was arrested during the operation.
Authorities also reported that the subject package arrived from Belgium and was declared as “lamp” but after undergoing initial test using Rigaku narcotics device, the package indicated the presence of MDMA, prompting authorities to conduct a controlled delivery operation.
