A foreign leader and his wife, who recently visited the country to discuss cooperation towards economic growth and social progress, were able to get a hand on one of the plaguing issues in Asian countries the hard way.
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and his wife, Hulya, arrived in Manila last week for the 50th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Ministerial Meeting.
On their way home to Turkey, Hulya discovered that her jewelry box, which was inside her luggage, went missing at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
The jewelry box, which contains a diamond ring, a gold bracelet, three sets of pearl earrings, and an Escada white gold ring, was found in the possession of a baggage loader assigned at NAIA Terminal 1.
Four persons were arrested after they admitted that they stole items at the airport before the diplomat’s wife boarded her flight back to Turkey on August 4, Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) general manager Ed Monreal told the Philippine Star.
The suspects identified as Yves Ronald Baguion, Wilson Mataganas, John Andrews Racoma and a certain Alfaro, were all baggage loaders of Miascor Ground Handling Corporation.
