OTS Denros said that many people still believe in bullets as amulets or good luck charms, and some passengers are caught in the airport with amulets in their luggage.

Last year, an overseas Filipino worker named Nanay Gloria, an working in Hongkong who was arrested for allegedly having a bullet in her luggage was in danger of losing her job. This created a fury of comments and social media posts from the disgruntled OFWs.

12 YEARS IMPRISONMENT OVER 1 BULLET


The penalties if you are caught with a single live bullet can range from 6 to 8 years imprisonment or up to 10 to 12 years, depending on the type of ammunition according to the PNP Aviation Security Group.
