MANILA, Philippines — The Bureau of Customs (BOC) seized 922 grams of shabu hidden in a guitar amplifier at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) yesterday.

The pack of shabu was detected when the parcel passed through an X-ray machine.

Authorities are searching for the sender, whom they did not identify. The shabu was turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.
