It was PDEA's second largest drug haul this year in a sign of how the problem has persisted despite the president's bloody crackdown on illegal drugs. Aquino said Wednesday, March 20, 2019, three Chinese nationals and a Chinese-Filipino man, who works as an interpreter, were arrested, with the drugs concealed in tea wrappers similar to those seized in Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar and indicated an international drug syndicate was behind the trafficking.
