tokyohive reported yesterday that police have posted an arrest warrant for talent�Komukai Minako due to suspicions of drug purchases. It's said that Komukai is currently staying in Manila,�Philippines, and that she's canceled her return flight to Japan for February 11th.

Apparently on the 9th, a woman entered a travel agency in Manila, gave her name as 'Komukai Minako', and cancelled the flight.�Komukai flew to the Philippines on January 21st, and has been in Manila since then, but at this moment, there is no information as to her specific location.

Japanese nationals can stay in the Philippines for 21 days without a visa, and it's being understood that her return to Japan was scheduled for the 10th because of this time limit. But it seems that the talent applied for an extension on her stay.

It's difficult to ask the local police for cooperation, since an international treaty between Japan and the Philippines has yet to be finalized; the treaty calls for handing over criminals who've escaped lawful prosecution from their country.

At this time, it's completely unclear as to when Komukai would come back to Japan.
