CEBU CITY—A 61-year-old woman is facing charges after she tried to transport a kilo of shabu worth P11 million to Japan.
Dorotea Moyes would face charges for attempting to transport illegal drugs.
The police said Moyes was billeted in a hotel in uptown Cebu City and asked the staff to have a courier delivered her package to Japan.
