Source discrepancies

The Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority writes "89 bags/packages of suspected kush/cannabis" weighing "approximately 89 kilograms" with a value of "Php106.8million". Tribune.net.ph (https://tribune.net.ph/2026/09/03/authorities-seize-p162m-high-grade-marijuana-in-subic-freeport) writes "around 98.322 kilos inside 89 plastic bags" and "around P162-million". The item follows the Authority, whose notice is cited, for the weight and value.

Quantities

The substance is described as suspected kush or cannabis, and the Authority says the classification, net weight and price are subject to laboratory verification. The item keeps "suspected" and states the figures as the Authority's.

Dating

The Authority says the task force boarded the yacht on "2 September 2026" and that the yacht had been brought in on "28 August 2026". The item uses the date of the search.

Category

The item could be Enforcement or Trafficking. It is filed as Trafficking because the Authority describes the vessel as sailing from Kota Kinabalu to Taiwan when it came into port, so the find is an interdiction of a cargo in transit. The route is the vessel's; the Authority says the origin and destination of the substance are still to be established.

Map pin

The pin is the OpenStreetMap point for the Subic Bay Yacht Club in Subic Bay Freeport, rounded to two decimals, as an event site. Wikidata has no entry for the club.
