With my usual coffee + keyboard combination on a dreary Saturday Philly morning, I was reading this article about a 35-year-old Filipino who tried to smuggle in 6.145 kilos of cocaine alkaloid but was caught in Cusco, Peru on September 30. Now, in my mind, why would Filipinos do that? Highly unlikely right? Then again, drugs in Manila is already a problem.
And it’s even more interesting reading the comments section. One said… “a drug mule is dalawang klase, ang isa napangakuan ng trabaho sa abroad at ang pangalawa ay kidnaping with blackmail para pwersahin kang maging courier”. Another mentioned LOCKED UP ABROAD. It’s a show about how daring drug cartels are now.
Which to me is not really new, correct? Brazen, daring at iba na naman ang mga tactics ngayon. Ilan na bang OFW ang mga nabiktima nang mga blackmail?
