This is now trending as many victims surfaced and told their harrowing experience. Some of them are old grandma ofw, a patient confined in a wheelchair, tourists and even teenagers. They claimed that the bullet was planted in their bag. In the first place why would anyone bring a bullet in their bag to ruin their journey? They knew that this is illegal and anyone caught with bullet will be punished with 6 years or more in jail.It is now featured in Fox News and even Japan make some video out of it. The government said that it is an isolated case wow. They don't care! What about the large sum of money they spent for Ads to lure tourist with the Slogan "It is fun in the Philippines"? This is the reason why tourist avoid Philippines as their choice of destination after they experience this scam and other forms of extortion.
This is ridiculous!
The first known case was with the Michael White, a 22 years old American tourist who wants to visit Palawan. He claimed that he was extorted to pay P30,000.00 so that he can leave free but he refused to do so and fought back. After this incidence many "Lag-lag Bala" cases surface.
It was the first time that the tourist Lane Michael White was detained in the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 after the authorities claim that they found a bullet concealed in the baggage that he brought. The 20-year old man was supposed to be visiting the islands of Palawan along with his father and stepmother when they were prohibited to move along at the X-ray scanner of NAIA Terminal 4. Michale White said that the security guard got the .22 caliber bullet from the pocket of his luggage. The guards repeatedly checked the bag on the X-Ray Machine.
He denied that the bullet belongs to him. He said that he has no idea how it got in his luggage. White refused to settle the amount of P30, 000. He insisted that he is innocent. "God endured the pain when he was being whipped at the cross and if I need to be detained just to prove my innocence so be it," Micahel said. It is not the first time that allegations about the 'Laglag-Bala' modus operandi surfaced the internet. Recently, a story was shared by a balikbayan whereas the same incident happened. He said that he paid P500 to the security personnel to allow him to depart.
According to someone who would not want to be identify said that this Scam or Modus Operandi or method of operation is operating for a long time but nobody dare to expose. The reason for this is that they chose a passenger having a connecting flight. A passenger with connecting flight is always in a hurry and don't want problem so they end up paying money to the airport employees who planted the bullet.
