<p>An overseas Filipino Worker (OFW) was held off by the Bureau of Customs (BOC) at the airport due to the airplane toy she brought home as <em>pasalubong </em>from Hongkong.</p>
<p>In a Facebook post, OFW Rachell Anne Ramos narrated that BI personnel insisted to check the toy despite it has already passed through an x-ray machine and was sniffed by the airport dogs, two times already.</p>
<p>"Hayyyy PILIPINAS!!! [K]elan ka uunlad??? Galing ng Hongkong yan kung may nakita man n[a] kakaiba or something inside the plane, sana dun pa lang nahold n[a] ako," she exclaimed.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ramos said she insisted to break the toy due to her fear of getting delayed on her connecting flight.&nbsp;</p>
<p>After BI personnel broke the toy plane with a hammer, mere cement was found inside.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"[Y]ung after nila mafind out n[a parang espalto ang laman, todo sorry na sila. [P]asalamat nga sila [hin]d[i] ko n[a] pinabayaran eh. [M]ay awa pa naman ako kahit konti l[a]ng," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ramos expressed disappointment at the BOC staffs, saying that this is her first time returning home after four years and this incident welcomed her.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As of writing, BOC has yet to issue a statement regarding the incident.&nbsp;</p>
