“The 20-year-old woman, who claimed she was a model, had just arrived from Brazil via Dubai through Emirates Air flight EK 332. at around 5pm that day. The cocaine, with a street value of PHP32 million (around US$661,792), was found in a false bottom of her suitcase,” reports Rudy Santos in The Philippine Star.
