Philippines - Jenifer Pavolaurea, a
25-year-old Papua New Guinean and a nursing graduate tried to smuggle her two
month old baby through immigration at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport
(NAIA) Terminal 1, only to be caught when the backpack containing the baby was
put through the airport scanner.
The airport personnel said
that the baby was sleeping soundly when discovered at the NAIA-1.
Pavolaurea admitted that
she attempted to smuggle her two-month-old son out of the country because she
does not have the necessary immigration clearance for his departure. She was a
departing passenger of Air Niugini, which was scheduled to depart for Port
Moresby at 11 p.m.
Pavolaurea was initially
questioned by an immigration officer for being an overstaying alien before the
baby was discovered inside the backpack. Then she was eventually allowed to
depart for Papua New Guinea.
Airport authorities did
not file any charges against Pavolaurea.
