09 March 2015 – The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) reiterates its warning to Filipino travelers not to carry arms or ammunition in their belongings after it received a report that the Singapore Airport Police recently arrested a Filipino national for Possession of Ammunitions under Sec. 3 (1) Cap. 14 of the Arms Offences Act of Singapore.

The DFA reminds Filipino travelers that the carrying of guns and ammunition is strictly regulated in the Philippines and other countries. Violators of relevant laws will be arrested by police authorities, which may result not only in unnecessary delay in their journey but also criminal prosecution. END
