Valenzuela methamphetamine smuggling controversy
In May 2017, the Bureau of Customs seized methamphetamine reported as worth approximately PHP 6.4 billion in two warehouses in Valenzuela, Metro Manila. The shipment had arrived at the Manila International Container Port and had been declared as kitchenware. Senate and House hearings examined how it moved through customs procedures, including the use of a green-lane process, and considered allegations that customs-connected individuals were incompetent or corrupt. The available reference material does not provide a definitive final outcome for all allegations.
