Suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride, locally known as shabu, and drugs paraphernalia have been surrendered to officials of the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) by a person deprived of liberty (PDL) at the New Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City. In a report, NBP Acting Superintendent Angelina I. Bautista said the dangerous drugs were turned over last Sunday, July 17, by Robert Gamboa, a PDL at NBP’s maximum-security compound. The report stated that Gamboa turned over a blue pouch that contained six transparent heat-sealed sachets that contained suspected shabu. Also turned over by the PDL were two pineapple cans that contained an improvised water pipe, three improvised glass tooter, three pieces of improvised transparent glass tube, and a plastic sachet containing suspected shabu. “After proper documentation, the surrendered suspected illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia were turned over to Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA),” Bautista said in her report. “During questioning, PDL Gamboa opted to remain silent and was reluctant to disclose information regarding the origin of suspected illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia,” she said. In the meantime, Bautista said that Gamboa has been “transferred from the Maximum-Security Compound to Medium-Security Compound.”
