DFA airs concern on rising OFW drug cases
By MADEL R. SABATER
The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) expressed concern on Saturday on Filipinos continuously being used as “drug mules” following the recent arrest of three Filipinas in Hong Kong and Macau.
According to the Philippine Consulate-General (PCG) in Macau, a Filipina was arrested last June 26 for allegedly smuggling almost one kilogram of drugs hidden in three pairs of sports shoes in her luggage.
Consul-General to Macau Renato Villapando said the DFA is concerned with the increasing number of Filipinos serving sentences in Macau for drug trafficking. Currently, 17 Filipinos are detained in Macau.
He stressed that the DFA will help the Filipina who was recently caught in Macau for alleged drug trafficking.
In Hong Kong, two Filipinas were also arrested in separate occasions for alleged drug trafficking.
The first of the two Filipinas was arrested last June 2 at the Hong Kong International Airport after authorities allegedly found 1,040 grams of heroin hidden inside the soles of three pairs of shoes in her suitcase. The estimated street value of the drugs was HK$930,000 or US$119,500.
The second Filipina was arrested last June 24 for taking in 876 grams of heroin with an estimated street value of HK$780,000 (US$100,300). She is currently confined at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and will later be taken for custodial remand to the Tai Lam Center for Women.
"The Consulate-General will ensure that these Filipinas will have legal representation in all their court appearances and will continue to monitor their cases," Philippine Consul-General to Hong Kong Claro Cristobal said.
It will be recalled that the DFA has been warning Filipinos against becoming drug couriers.
In China, drug trafficking of 50 grams or more of illegal drugs is punishable by 15 years in prison, life imprisonment, or death. In Muslim countries, drug trafficking is punishable by death, according to Shariah law.

Pasay admits worsening menace of illegal drugs
Pasay Mayor-elect Antonino Calixto admits a worsening case of drugs and the need for the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency to be stationed in the city.
“Illegal drugs has become one of Pasay’s biggest problems. This has a become a big threat not only to the security of our constituents but also to our economic progress,” he said.
Calixto said he would ask the PDEA to establish a detachment before drug trafficking goes out of hand.
In the past weeks, PDEA has been raiding suspected drug dens in Pasay leading to the arrest of a local policeman selling cocaine.
“The presence of a PDEA unit here makes a lot of difference. Drug traffickers will become increasingly wary of their activities, and sooner or later they will leave the city and shift their business somewhere,” Calixto said.
Last month, the entire 12-man anti-illegal drugs unit and its commander was sacked after a series of PDEA raids.
Senior Supt. Raul Petrasanta said Chief Insp. Salvador Solana, head of the Station Anti-Illegal Drugs-Special Operations Task Force has been placed in floating status while his 12 men were sent to desk jobs at the Pasay police headquarters.
On April 27, PDEA agents arrested nine suspected drug traffickers inside the Apelo Cruz Compound, resulting in the confiscation of several grams of shabu and drug paraphernalia.
This was followed by the arrest of PO1 Rodelio Raña, of Precinct who yielded 1.5 kilos of cocaine during a sting operation at the parking lot of SM Mall of Asia.
PDEA agents also raided Barangay 43, 44, and 45 in Tramo district and arrested at least 15 people following reports of rampant sale of shabu. Ferdinand FabellaBan:

Drug trafficking, abuse hindering MDG efforts
By MADEL R. SABATER
Drug abuse and drug trafficking are hindering efforts to achieve the United Nations’ Millenium Development Goals, according to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.
“Our work to achieve the MDGs and fight drugs must go hand-in-hand. In seeking to eradicate illicit crops, we must also work to wipe out poverty,” Ban said.
Drug-related crimes “deepen vulnerability to instability and poverty,” he said.
Meanwhile, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)’s 2010 World Drug Report released last week said that the Philippines is among three Southeast Asian countries which have the highest annual prevalence of using prohibited drugs (amphetamines) in East and Southeast Asia, the other two are Laos and Thailand.
The report said that Amphethamine – type stimulants (ATS) abuse is highest in East and Southeast Asia at 36 percent, with the global number of people using ATS expected to exceed those using opium and cocaine.
The report also said the Philippines was among countries that have significant ATS manufacture since 2000, along with Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Republic of Moldova, Myanmar, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, the Russian Federation, Slovakia, South Africa, and USA.
Ban noted that aside from deepening poverty, prohibited drugs also help spread HIV/AIDS through injected drugs. It also undermines achieving environmental sustainability through such side-effects as chemical runoffs from cocaine laboratories.

Shabu hidden in false bottom of Malaysian's luggage seized at Naia
By Jerome Aning
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 22:16:00 06/23/2010
CUSTOMS POLICEMEN SEIZED 10 kilograms of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) from a Malaysian who arrived from Thailand at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport on Tuesday night.
Bureau of Customs (BOC) Duty Collector Romulo Mahor identified the male passenger as How Eng Pheow, 41, who arrived at Naia Terminal 2 on board Philippine Airlines Flight 337 from Bangkok at around 7:30 p.m.
Roque said that while at the customs examination lane, the suspect went back and forth to a counter manned by collector Manuel Mendoza several times. Pheow then left the trolley bag he was carrying in front of Mendoza’s counter and tried to leave the customs area.
Mendoza alerted customs policemen and told them not to allow Pheow to leave and to return him to the examination counter.
Pheow’s luggage contained personal items on top, but Mendoza said a further search revealed that the bag had a false bottom.
Inside were several plastic bags containing the suspected banned substance.
Roque said an on site chemical test on one of the bags indicated that the contents were shabu.
The cache has been turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and Airport Police for verification.
Pheow was placed under arrest and later charged with violation of Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
The BOC, PDEA and airport policemen have organized a team force to find out if Pheow had contacts at the airport premises or if a syndicate could have been involved in the drug smuggling.
Only a little over two months ago, a Malaysian national was arrested after arriving in the country with 14 kilos of shabu.

100-million shabu seized in Sta. Ana drug raid
By Non Alquitran
MANILA, Philippines - The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) arrested five Chinese nationals and confiscated from them 20 kilos of shabu with a street value of P100 million during a raid in Manila Thursday.
NCRPO chief Director Roberto Rosales said the five suspects reportedly belong to a drug syndicate believed behind the operation of a clandestine shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) laboratory discovered in Taguig City recently.
“This anti-drug operation is a continuing process. We expect to arrest other members of the syndicate in due time,” Rosales said in an interview.
Those arrested were identified as Ming Yuan Yuet, 40; Danny Tan, 30; Aga Co, 33; Eugene Co, 32, and Michelle Lee, 24, all Chinese nationals.
After the raid in Taguig City months back, Rosales directed Superintendent Leo Francisco, head of the regional police intelligence and operation unit (RPIOU), to conduct follow-up raids.
Based on information given by suspects arrested in the Taguig raid, Francisco conducted surveillance operation on tenants of Unit 63 Eurovilla Homes along New Panaderos street in Sta. Ana.
Rosales said samples bought during a test buy were determined by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) as high-grade shabu.
Francisco served Thursday a search warrant in the presence of barangay chairman Abraham Sejosta; Manila assistant prosecutor Ma. Theresa Basillo and Jean Banaay, administrator of the Eurovilla Townhomes. The warrant was issued by Manila Regional Trial Court Judge Amor Reyes.
Francisco said the five suspects gave themselves up peacefully. Aside from 20 kilos of high-grade shabu, the raiding team also seized two containers of a brown liquid they suspect to be raw material for the manufacture of shabu, as well as various other laboratory equipment.
Police also found six plastic bags of brown capsules, 14,500-milliliter bottles of glucose solution, a washing machine and dryer, and two weighing scales.
The NCRPO chief said the Chinese nationals chose to remain silent. “They pretend that they cannot speak our dialect. Our agents engaged them only in a sign language,” Rosales said, adding that they are hiring an interpreter.
Rosales ordered that all confiscated items be turned over to the PDEA while the five suspects were charged for possession of dangerous drugs and other paraphernalia before the Manila prosecutor’s office.

Judge denies ‘Alabang Boy’s’ petition for bail
By Julie M. Aurelio
Philippine Daily Inquirer
First Posted 21:58:00 07/06/2010
A JUDGE HAS JUNKED THE PETItion for bail filed by one of the so-called “Alabang Boys” nearly two years after the three were arrested on drug peddling charges.
In his July 2 order, Judge Jaime Salazar of the Quezon City Regional Trial Court Branch 103 said the evidence Joseph Tecson had presented in court to back up his petition—a denial of the accusation that he sold cocaine to a Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) agent—was weak.
“A denial, per jurisprudence, is a weak kind of evidence when arrayed against an affirmative and positive identification. In a bail petition, the main concern is whether the prosecution’s evidence is strong and such positive identification of the accused is strong,” Salazar said.
He added that the defense’s questioning of the PDEA’s administrative procedures could be fully explored during a court trial.
“As [for] the alleged noncompliance with certain administrative procedures by the PDEA team, the same will be assessed when the case is studied on the issue of guilt or innocence of the accused,” the judge said.
Tecson was arrested in September 2008 after he allegedly sold cocaine to Louie Valdez, a PDEA agent, in Cubao, Quezon City. Separate operations led to the arrest of Richard Brodett and Jorge Joseph for drugs in Ayala, Alabang.

Senator George McGovern (1922-2012) was described by the Los Angeles Times as “an icon of American liberalism”, who campaigned vigorously against Richard Nixon and the Vietnam war, against America’s fixation with Castro, and against the ever-increasing US defence budget. JFK once lauded him as “the most decent man in the Senate”, and President Obama declared him to be "a statesman of great conscience and conviction".
In my television days, I was fortunate to spend a week filming with George McGovern and his wife Eleanor (who died in 2007) in their home town of Mitchell in South Dakota, and later at the United Nations. I remember him as unfailingly courteous, and a man of much personal charm.
I took this photograph of him at the UN in June 1978.
