  4. Four Chinese Nationals Arrested in Parañaque City over Illegal Drugs

    Recently in the City of Parañaque, elements of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) raided a condominium unit and arrested four Chinese nationals over illegal drugs which the authorities confiscated, according to a GMA Network news report.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the GMA News report. Some parts in boldface…

    Four Chinese nationals were arrested after the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) raided a condominium unit in Parañaque City allegedly being used to order and consume illegal drugs.

    According to a report by John Consulta on “24 Oras Weekend,” the NBI Cybercrime Division arrested one woman and three men after opening the door of the target unit during an operation.

    The agency searched the four rooms of the condominium and recovered high-grade marijuana or kush, from a side table and suspected shabu on the bathroom floor.

    Drug paraphernalia and suspected drug residue were also found inside a cabinet in another room.

    The NBI said its Cybercrime Division had monitored the suspects allegedly using cyberspace to order various types of illegal drugs, which were then delivered to the condominium disguised among food deliveries and other online orders.

    “We monitored individuals through our Cybercrime Division who were using cyberspace to order drugs—various kinds of drugs,” NBI Director Melvin Matibag said.

    The four suspects were subjected to drug testing, with two testing positive, according to the NBI. The two who tested positive were subsequently subjected to inquest proceedings for alleged violations of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.

    Matibag also reminded the suspects that the use of cannabis and methamphetamine is illegal in the Philippines.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you concerned that there could be more Chinese nationals who could be doing criminal activities within the city? Do you think Parañaque is absolutely not a drug-free city at all?

  13. Las Piñas City Court Sentences Foreign National To Life Imprisonment Over 71 Kilos Of Shabu

    Recently in the City of Las Piñas, a Regional Trial Court (RTC) sentenced a Taiwanese national to life imprisonment after finding him guilty of possessing more than seventy kilos of shabu, according to a Manila Bulletin news report. The convict was also ordered to pay a fine of P2 million.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin news report. Some parts in boldface…

    The Las Piñas City Regional Trial Court sentenced a Taiwanese to life imprisonment after finding him guilty of possessing over P250 million worth of shabu following a search warrant operation, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) said on Tuesday, July 21.

    Citing decision from the Las Piñas City Regional Trial Court Branch 255, PDEA said “Chen Te Ho Chang with aliases “Tanda’’ and Te Hi Chen’’ was found guilty of violating Section 11 (Possession of Dangerous Drugs), Article II of Republic Act 9165 or “The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002″ for possession of 71 kilos of shabu.

    Aside from life imprisonment, the court also ordered Chen to pay a P2 million fine.

    “The conviction arose from the implementation of a search warrant on June 13, 2017, at a warehouse leased by the accused in BF Martinville Subdivision, Manuyo, Las Piñas City,’’ the PDEA said.

    Prior to the warehouse raid, Chen was arrested during an interdiction operation conducted by PDEA and the Philippine National Police (PNP) inside a hotel in Parañaque City on June 3, 2017.

    PDEA Director General Isagani R. Nerez said the conviction demonstrates the government’s resolve to ensure that major drug cases culminate in successful prosecution.

    “This conviction affirms that our anti-illegal drug campaign extends beyond arrests and seizures. We remain steadfast in building strong cases that will withstand judicial scrutiny and ensure that drug traffickers are convicted and punished to the fullest extent of the law. Justice is best served when those responsible are held fully accountable,’’ Nerez pointed out.

    The PDEA chief noted that transnational drug syndicates continue to exploit leased warehouses and storage facilities to conceal large quantities of illegal drugs before distribution.

    Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Do you think there are absolutely no illegal drugs hidden within your local community?

  15. Police Arrest Suspect And Seize Illegal Substance Worth Over P1 Million In Parañaque City

    Recently in the City of Parañaque, local police officers apprehended a high-value individual and seized illegal substances worth over P1 million, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Bulletin report. Some parts in boldface…

    A high-value individual (HVI) was arrested and more than P1 million worth of suspected shabu was seized during a buy-bust operation conducted by the Parañaque City Police early Monday, July 14.

    Parañaque City Police Chief Col. Nicolas Pinon identified the suspect only by his alias “Jojie,” 27, who was apprehended at around 12:20 a.m. along Los Angeles Street in Barangay San Dionisio, Parañaque City.

    Pinon said operatives of the Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) launched the operation after receiving information that the suspect was allegedly engaged in the illegal drug trade and had been classified by the police as a high-value individual operating in the city.

    During the operation, an undercover police officer successfully purchased suspected shabu from the suspect.

    After the transaction was completed, the arresting team immediately converged on the area and arrested “Jojie.”

    Confiscated from the suspect were several heat-sealed sachets and knot-tied plastic bags containing about 150 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated standard drug price of P1,020,000, a black pouch, the marked buy-bust money, and other pieces of evidence.

    The seized items were turned over to the Parañaque City Police Station for proper documentation and laboratory examination, while the suspect was placed under police custody pending the filing of charges.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, do you consider the city a hot spot for illegal drug trading and smuggling?

  19. Malaysia To Implement World Anti-Doping Code At The 2027 SEA Games

    In an effort to ensure that the 2027 edition of the Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) will fully comply with the standards of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), host nation Malaysia will implement the World Anti-Doping Code in the regional games, according to a news report by VnExpress.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of VnExpress. Some parts in boldface…

    Malaysia is set to become the first Southeast Asian Games (SEA Games) host to implement the World Anti-Doping Code at the 34th edition next year.

    President of the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) Mohamad Norza Zakaria stated at a press conference on April 8 that the adoption of the code aims to ensure that the 2027 SEA Games fully comply with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) standards, thereby enhancing the transparency and international standing of the Games.

    Malaysia’s proposal was approved at the first meeting of the Southeast Asian Games Federation (SEAGF) for the 2025-2027 period, held on the same day.

    The World Anti-Doping Code, first adopted in 2004, serves as the foundation for harmonizing policies, regulations, and activities to combat doping among sports organizations and authorities worldwide.

    Mohamad Norza also said that the SEAGF had agreed to set May 8 as the deadline for national Olympic committees to propose additional sports for the 2027 SEA Games. After this date, proposals will be submitted to the Malaysian SEA Games Organizing Committee (MASOC) and the National Sports Council for consideration before being discussed at the next council meeting, expected in the coming months.

    The 2027 SEA Games, featuring 38 sports, will be hosted across Sarawak, Penang, Johor, and Kuala Lumpur.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the implementation of the World Anti-Doping Code will make Malaysia’s hosting of the 2027 SEA Games more credible and more transparent? What breakthroughs do you think will happen in the next SEA Games in relation to the anti-doping measures?

  20. Five Drug Suspects Arrested In Parañaque City And lllegal Drugs Worth P91 Million Seized

    Recently in the City of Parañaque, local police officers successfully pulled off a major anti-drug operation that resulted in five suspects – including one former policeman – arrested and the seizure of illegal drugs worth more than P91 million, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

    A former policeman and four alleged high-value drug suspects were arrested in a major anti-drug operation that led to the seizure of more than P91 million worth of suspected shabu and high-powered firearms in Parañaque City on Friday, April 10.

    Operatives of the Southern Police District (SPD) Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) identified the suspects as alias Bossing, 35; James, 49, a resigned member of the Philippine National Police (PNP); Jezreel, 29; Hazel, 25; and alias “Ricardo,” 48.

    All five were tagged as newly identified high-value individuals (HVIs) and were apprehended during a buy-bust operation conducted in Sun Valley, Parañaque, following days of surveillance and intelligence monitoring.

    Authorities said the operation was launched in coordination with other police units to dismantle a suspected drug syndicate operating in the southern Metro Manila.

    Confiscated during the sting were approximately 13.389 kilograms of suspected shabu and five containers of liquid crystalline substance, with a combined estimated Standard drug price of P91,045,200.

    Police also recovered two .45-caliber pistols, a Bushmaster rifle, communication devices, and P319,950 cash.

    Authorities said the presence of high-powered firearms indicates the group’s capability to protect their illegal activities, raising concerns over the potential violence linked to drug trafficking operations.

    “This operation sends a clear message that no drug syndicate is beyond our reach. The Southern Police District will relentlessly pursue those involved in the illegal drug trade and ensure they are brought to justice,” said acting SPD director Col. Glenn Oliver Cinco.

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What do you think about this recent development? If you are a resident of Parañaque, are you convinced that drug syndicates find the city an ideal place to do their illegal businesses while having the mean to cause harm to local residents? What do you think makes Parañaque an attractive city to those involved in illegal drugs?

  22. Two Suspects Arrested In Parañaque City Over Illegal Substances Worth More Than P3.7 Million

    Recently in the City of Parañaque, the local police successfully pulled off a buy-bust operation that resulted in two suspects arrested and the seizure of illegal substances worth over P3.7 million, according to a Manila Bulletin news report.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of the Manila Bulletin. Some parts in boldface…

    Police arrested two high-value targets and seized more than P3.7 million worth of shabu in a buy-bust operation in Parañaque City.

    Parañaque City Police chief Col. Nicolas Pinon said the suspects, identified as Toto, 52, and Ronnie, 53, both residents of Manuyo Dos, Las Piñas City, were arrested in Barangay San Isidro.

    Pinon said the Station Drug Enforcement Unit (SDEU) launched the operation after receiving information that the suspects, though based in Las Piñas, were conducting illegal drug activities in Parañaque.

    The suspects were caught selling 25 grams of shabu worth P170,000 to an undercover police officer. Further search led to the recovery of 11 additional sachets of shabu weighing about 525 grams, valued at P3,750,000, inside a black eco bag.

    In total, authorities confiscated around 550 grams of shabu worth P3,740,000, along with a Redmi cellphone and the buy-bust money.

  30. "Drug consumption rooms given green light by top Scottish Government lawyer"

    I'm glad that Scotland is seeing the light here.

    However, I'm infuriated at the response from the UK government:

    "Her statement is likely to trigger a constitutional row between the Scottish Government and the Home Office which controls UK-wide drug laws and remains steadfastly opposed to consumption rooms, repeatedly insisting there is no safe way to take illegal drugs."

    One problem with this is that what is considered "illegal" is highly arbitrary and frankly unsupported by... drum roll... *SCIENCE*! If you think you're going to convince me that there is no safe way to take marijuana, which is still illegal at the federal level in the US, you've got another thing coming.

    The other problem is that this is a straw man. I don't see anyone arguing that there *is* a "safe way" to take opium or cocaine. Like other things in life, this is about harm reduction. Those people who would presumably use a consumption room would do it in a controlled environment, rather than try their luck on the street and maybe get a batch of crap product that kills them.

    People who fail to realize this are bloody idiots. The UK government is really trying hard to channel the US government here. :headache:
