Airport authorities on Thursday arrested a Korean national who was about to leave the country for alleged illegal drug possession. Seongphil Hong was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 1 (NAIA-1) after a security check revealed that he was carrying 270 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu in his underwear. Seongphil Hong was about to board Aseana Airlines flight OZ-716 when arrested, according to reports reaching the office of Gen.
