    Kenyan woman busted at Philippine airport

    Manila (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - A Kenyan woman was caught trying to smuggle nearly 10 kg of ¿shabu,¿ or methamphetamine hydrochloride, into the country from the United Arab Emirates on Friday, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) said Saturday.

    Lina Aching Noah, 36, was arrested after customs inspectors found the illegal drugs, with a street value of about P45 million, in the lining of her luggage at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport, PDEA Director General Jose Gutierrez Jr. said.

    Noah, a suspected member of an African drug syndicate, arrived in the country at 7 p.m. on Friday on an Emirates flight from Dubai, Gutierrez said.

    The PDEA said that prior to her arrest, it had received a tip from a foreign counterpart agency about Noah, prompting agents to coordinate with the Bureau of Immigration and Bureau of Customs to intercept her.

    Noah is being held at the PDEA-National Capital Region detention facility.

      kenyan or filipino we should not be ashamed of what race we belong. what we should be ashamed of are our crimes and ignorance which violates the dignity of a person. Shalom!

        Pete, Filipinos are not dark skinned, nor yellow, nor white. Didn't you see the picture? Don't you know anythjing about other peoples of the world other than your own? How provincial......! And, Locust, You scum of the earth! Let me guess, Chinese? Singaporean? You know why you hate us so much? Because, though most of my countrymen are poor, still you cannot deny the fact that we, are so much better looking than most of you people. You with slits for eyes, rotting teeth, and foul body odor. Most of your people dont care/know about basic hygiene. Pweh!!!

      The woman clearly committed a crime and yes she deserves the punishment, but no one has the right to generalize a race or a group of people's traits just because one member had put the others in a bad light. Some Filipinos are easy to generalize about other people, but when a Filipino errs abroad and gets persecuted they're the ones who overreact. I know you'd be aching too if the Chinese, Singaporeans, and Hong Kong people started to talk trash about our nation. Talk about double standards.

        you are right Fox..what is the difference between them..the Kenyon and the Filipinos who were executed in China are the same..Drug Smugglers who were trying to spread drugs over the world for money..I see no difference in them at all.

    • gerard  •  Dubai, United Arab Emirates  •  2 months ago
      this should be a gauge on how we would like to be treated when our citizens are caught
      abroad on matters like drug trafficing. i mean why do we plead for mercy when a filipina
      drug mule was arrested and hanged, if we ourselves did the same here?
    • A  •  2 months ago
      thats a plus for us and a minus to UAE why in the hell did her luggage passed inspection?
    • wei lee  •  2 months ago

    • christian_knight  •  2 months ago
      sana mey death penalty tayo para sa foreigners lang para gawin nating pang-bargain tulad sa china... pag-binitay niyo pinoy bitayin din namin chinese para maghunos dili sila sa pag-bibitay... dahil dito di na tayo manininukluhod sa pagmamakaawa sa kanila... kasi mey panlaban din tayo sa kanila...

      sana mey congressman o senator na mag-sponsor dito na batas. laking tulong nito para ma-save iyong mga kababayan natin. foreigners na lang para di umalma iyong simbahan!

      should be sentenced to death like our brothers and sisters caught in other countries........

      It's a shame, you can really see from the previous comments, how some of the Filipinos think and how poor their values are. To those who made discriminatory remarks and make fun of this woman... this is for all of you...What does it make you when you make fun of other people? She might have done something bad and violated the laws of the Philippines but that does not give us Filipinos, the right to mock, discriminate nor make fun of this woman or other people especially black people. You do not know her circumstances, so refrain from making racial discriminatory remarks, because whatever shameful things you write on your comment, does not reflect nor speaks about the person you are talking about but it speaks more of yourself as a person...
    • Chitty Bang Bang  •  2 months ago
      She is still lucky she was caught here (unlike other Countries Death sentence) and will live to tell the tail that drugs or anything similar to it is BAD, bAD, baD
