Ninoy Aquino International Airport bullet planting scandal information
Political controversy in the Philippines
The Ninoy Aquino International Airport bullet-planting scandal, locally known as tanim-bala ("bullet planting") or laglag-bala ("bullet dropping"), was a scandal in the Philippines that began in September 2015 and lasted until early 2016, in which airport security personnel at Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Metro Manila were alleged to have planted bullets in the luggage of passengers in order to extort money from them.[1][2] Victims of the alleged plot were generally Overseas Filipino Workers, but also included non-Filipinos such as foreign tourists.
At least thirty cases of the scheme were recorded in 2015, according to the Philippine National Police Aviation Security Group (PNP-AVSEGROUP), while the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) recording only five such incidents.[3] The government denied it was responsible for the scheme.[4]
