MANILA, Philippines — Corrupt and incompetent officials of the Bureau of Customs (BOC) and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) have allowed the public auction of P1 billion worth of methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said yesterday.
The drugs, allegedly from the Golden Triangle international drug syndicate, were accidentally discovered before they could be distributed on the streets.
In a privilege speech titled “What a Mess: A Dumping Ground of Garbage and Drugs,” Lacson expressed suspicion that the auction on April 22 of three shipping containers supposedly with 114 bags of tapioca starch kept in aluminum pallets was simply a cover-up of a botched drug delivery by corrupt BOC officials.
