John Estrada arrested at NAIA

Movie actor John Anthony Estrada was caught by the Philippine National Police’s Aviation Security Group at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 in possession of 15 bullets and a magazine for a .9mm Glock handgun Thursday as he was on his way to Malaysia.

Senior Superintendent Efren Labiang said the bullets and magazine were first detected during an X-ray scan. The police found the ammunition when they inspected Estrada’s backpack in his presence.

Labiang added that Estrada failed to present any pertinent documents allowing him to possess and transport the items. Police Officer 2 Edelito Sedrome put him under arrest.

The actor was charged with illegal possession of ammunition at the Pasay City prosecutor’s office.

Labiang said Estrada was arrested last year for cracking a joke about having a bomb in his luggage at the General Santos Airport.  Rudy Santos
