Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte has
asked President Aquino to stop the “laglag-bala” extortion scam at airports,
especially at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA).
“Please Mr. President, do something
about the laglag-bala problem,” Duterte was quoted by an online news outfit as
saying.
“I never asked any favor from him in
the past, but now I am asking him to do something,” Duterte added.
Duterte has also agreed to serve as a
lawyer for overseas Filipino workers who would fall prey to the laglag-bala
extortion scam, according to OFW Worldwide president Merasol Espinosa.
"Sige I'll be with you,
voluntarily ito ha, (Okay, I'll be with you, and this is voluntary, okay,) I am
your lawyer if that's what you want,” Duterte was quoted by Espinosa as saying.
Duterte’s reported offer to take up
the cause of tanim-bala victims has prompted OFWs to make a sticker to be put
on their baggage, saying the following:
NOTICE
This is to certify that this travel
bag was personally packed by the owner and does not contain any bullet or
anything illegal. The owner is not a dumb Filipino to put jeopardy his/her
travel funded by hard-earned money. The owner likewise disavows responsibility
or liability on anything that Philippine airport authorities will claim to the
contrary. In case of emergency please contact my lawyer.
ATTY. Rodrigo Roa Duterte

citizen"
