"Wala na po tayong pagfa-file na kaso, it's just a matter of confiscation then let the passengers go," Monreal said in a report by GMA News' Ivan Mayrina on "24 Oras."
"May konting documentation para sigurado nating ma-record lang pero 'di na natin sila ma-aapprehend," he added.
The MIAA chief noted that the filing of cases for carrying bullets inside airport terminals serves as an opportunity for erring airport personnel to do corrupt practices.
"Kasi doon nag-uumpisa 'yung alam niyo na. Kung matatanggal natin ang avenue na 'yun, wala tayong problema," Monreal said.
A bullet is a prohibited item under the RA 10591 or the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition.
"Ang una tatanggalin natin dun ay ang alleged corruption. Hindi ho natin binabalewala ang batas pero kailangan naman po pag-ibayuhin natin 'yung nararapat sa ating mga manlalakbay," Monreal noted.
