A Filipino-speaking man with Chinese citizenship failed Frday (May 31) to bail himself out at Eastern Court despite offering $30,000 in cash, plus other conditions to guarantee he would return to the next hearing to face three charges filed against him by the Customs and Excise Department.
Magistrate Stephanie Tsui told Domingo Nunag, 57 years old,
that she refused to grant his bail application because he had a number of
criminal records, six of them related to these cases, that the offense was
serious and that the prosecution had strong evidence against him, including an
alleged admission.

She ordered him returned to jail to await the next hearing
on July 11.
Customs officers arrested Nunag at the Customs Hall of the
Macau Ferry Terminal on his arrival from Macau last May 17 after they allegedly found in
his possession 3.62 grams of methamphetamine (shabu or ice) contained in four
zip-lock plastic bags.
He was charged with trafficking in dangerous drugs, in violation
of Sectipn 4 (1)(a) and (3) of the Dangerous Drugs Ordinance.

In addition, he was found to be carrying dutiable goods -- a
two-liter bottle of whisky and 21 sticks of cigarettes – in violation of Section
17(6) of the Dutiable Goods Ordinance.
Since he did not declare these two items upon arrival, he
was also slapped with a charge of failure to declare the controlled items to a member of the
Customs and Excise Service, a violation of Chapter 10 of the Dutiable Goods
Ordinance.
