Galing sa INQ7 (http://news.inq7.net/breaking/index.php?index=1&story_id=37471). Kaya pala pangit ang service sa PAL, marijuana ang trip ng mga stewards :D.
Shuhei Ogawa, spokesman of the Japanese embassy in Manila, said the penalty would depend on the amount of drugs found. "There would be detention and deportation for foreigners. Ogawa cited the case of ex-Beatles’ singer Paul McCartney and Argentine football superstar Maradona, who were caught separately in possession of cocaine in Japan years ago. He said they were banned from returning to that country for 10 years after their apprehension.ewan ko, palagay ko jail time ang parusa dito. yung kina paul mccartney at maradona, personal use at hindi pang benta. eto mukhang gustong kumita ng yen ni mister PAL steward (11 kilos ba naman). meron bang japan law expert dito sa timog?

Yes. this guy will most likely end up in prison, maybe between 7 to 10 years.
Ang malaking problema dito, sira na naman ang reputation natin. :mad: You can expect the immigration and customs officers at the airports to tighten up on flights from the Philippines again.
Gagawa lang kasi ng krimen, hindi ginagamit ang utak. Marijuana?? It is not only cheap. but bulky as well. Kaya tuloy siguro nahuli dahil pumuputok ang kanyang maleta. If you are ready to throw your life away by committing a crime, huwag petty theft - mag grand larceny ka na!! At least, kahit na nahuli ka, sosyal ang dating mo, imbis na masabi pang bobo ka.

Pointblank, hindi ko naisip ito, a. Dati kasi pag dadaan na ako sa customs area ng Narita, karamihan, tinatanong lang ako noong officer, ano ba ang mga laman niyang maleta mo? tapos palalabasin na ako. Ang ibig bang sabihini nito ay malamang ipapabukas sa ating mga Pinoy ang ating mga baggages? E di makikita yung mga pekeng DVD, mga longganisa at tocino at bagoong kasama yong mga manggang hilaw?

Ang alam ko, MATINDI ang security ng jp with regards to sniffing dogs and all that…
Kung pinlampas ka sa maleta mo, siguro, walang ‘nasilip’ na malaking BAWAL. What I mean is, walng drugs, o anumang illegal.
Ako man, “paminsan-minsan lang…” [parang kanta yata ang dating?! ]
may dalang kalamnsi, manggang hilaw…pero tsokey nmn sa Customs, at palaging walang bukas ang bagahe ko.
Ang problema, kapag “BIGLAng pabuksan” :eek: :yikes: ang bagahe mo, ayos ka! Marahil, may na-detect na sa loob pa lang bago ilagay sa BAGAGGE CAROUSEL. Kaya DELIKADO YAN.
Sana lang, doon sa gustong ‘magkalat’…huwag na sa ibang bayan: DAMAY kasi yung ibang matino, eh!
say?

Here’s an update (http://www.philstar.com/philstar/NEWS_FLASH0714200523 20_10.htm). If he knows what’s good for him, he should plead guilty and beg the judge for leniency. Once the case goes to trial, he can be pretty sure of going to the slammer. And the judge won’t be inclined to show him mercy for putting everyone through all the trouble. It would be a tragedy if he really didn’t do it though.
Consul General Antonio P. Villamayor of the Philippine Consulate General (PCG) in Osaka, Japan, reported Wednesday the first court trial of Miguel Fernando Paez Vibar has been scheduled for July 27 at the Osaka Regional Trial Court.
Vibar, a Philippine Airlines crewmember, was apprehended upon arrival at Kansai International Airport last May 125 for bringing in a package containing 11.78 kilograms of marijuana.
Shortly after his arrest, Vibar was able to obtain his own legal counsel in the person of Atty. Motsuhiro Yamane, and has maintained that he had no knowledge whatsoever of the contents of the package.

I don’t think any amount of pleading will stop the case from going to court. The fact that the hearing date has been set means that the district procecutor has decided to prosecute him and once this happens there’s usually no stopping the trial, the defendant can only plead guilty and show his remorse or wilingness to change, to lighten his sentence. There is no plea bargaining Japan, as can be seen in U.S. courts where FBI will cut a deal of immunity or lighter sentences if the criminal can give statements that could lead to the arrest of bigger fish. Even if he does confess guilty, all the more reason to try him. The districty attorney is now sure there was a crime commited. On the other hand, the defendant cannot be sentenced through his confession without a trial since the law has to make sure that he did not make that confession under duress or to wilingly take the blame for another’s crime. If he really is proven guilty, then the prosecution will present to the court its opinion on how much jail time or punishment is appropriate. Sometimes a judge can be lenient if family or close relatives are there to plead his case, but not always.
