IPHONE 7 PLUS INTERCEPTED AT NAIA
SEVERAL units of iPhone7 Plus brought into the country by a Chinese passenger from Xiamen, China, were intercepted at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) terminal 1 the Bureau of Customs (BOC) said on Friday. Importation of cellphones, costing to P1.35 million, is considered legal if the importer declared it as taxable items, according to BOC District III Collector Ed Macabeo. However, Su Miaoquiao failed to declare the gadgets even as his baggage showed images of them after it passed through the Customs x- ray machine. When Customs authorities examined his luggage, they found 30 units of iPhone7 Plus concealed in plastic bags. “The importation of smartphones is considered legal if the importer declared it them as taxable items and can present the proper National Telecommunications Commission ( NTC) import permit to Customs authorities,” said Maj. Jaybee Raul Cometa of the X- ray Inspection Project.
CALL CENTER AGENT FISHERIES IN ATTACK
CALOOCAN City police are now digging into the identities of two suspects riding tandem as they tried to snatch the motorcycle of a 21-year- old call center agent who died after he tried to fight off the suspects in Caloocan City. Initial reports said Jayvee Dungon, of Barangay 89, did not make it to the Caloocan City Medical Center where he was rushed. He sustained bullet wounds in his body. Police Chief Senior Supt. Chito Bersaluna immediately ordered his men from the follow-up unit to go after Dungon’s attackers. He said a cellular phone, owned by one of the two attackers, fell on the ground during the commotion which investigators can possibly use to establish clues as to their identities. Homicide investigator P03 Noel Bollosa said the victim was driving his Isuzu Raider 150 motorcycle around 1:10 a.m. along M. H. Del Pilar Street, Barangay 106 when he was chased by the still unidentified duo. As he was cornered, one of the attackers forcibly grabbed Dungon’s motorcycle but he resisted which drove one of the duo to pull out a handgun and shoot him twice in the body and left arm. The duo quickly boarded their motorcycle and sped off, unaware that a cellular phone from one of them fell on the ground as concerned residents rushed the victim to the hospital.
