shabu ‘tiangge’ may exist in other areas – Lomibao
Dagupan City – After the successful raid of the “One Stop Shop for shabu in Pasig City, PNP Chief Director General Arturo Lomibao strongly suspects that shabu dens continue to operate in other parts of the country, prompting him to warn the police chiefs in the province.
“There is a possibility this may be happening in other parts of the country,” Lomibao told newsmen when he called on House Speaker Jose de Venecia, Jr. in his home here last Sunday.
“It’s incomprehensible, unimaginable, and unthinkable that one could exist in the neighborhood and in the heart of Metro Manila,” Lomibao lamented as he ordered all police regional directors to step up the campaign against illegal drugs.
Lomibao said he immediately relieved the eight policemen manning police community precinct which was only 100 meters away from the compound.
Because of the incident, Lomibao said he may implement the “one-strike” policy earlier presently applied for the anti-jueteng campaign.
“What intrigues me is that the one-stop shop for shabu had been in existence from two to three years. It is impossible for this not to be known by the neighborhood, police and even city hall officials,” he said,
But Lomibao believes that the maintenance of a shabu may not likely be easy to do in the province since it could easily be detected.
He added that 12 shabu laboratories had already been closed by the police from various parts of the country.
