MGA BLOKENG DROGA NATAGPUAN SA KARAGATAN NG PILIPINAS, SA AUSTRALIA PALA ANG BAGSAK! Panoorin
Philippine National Police (PNP) Director General Oscar Albayalde said on Wednesday that the cocaine bricks recovered off the waters of Mindanao and Luzon in the past two weeks may have been part of a drug shipment bound for Australia.
“I talked with the Australian counterpart kanina, seemingly lumalabas itong na-recover na more than 100 kilos of cocaine, to be exact is 111 kilos of cocaine from the eastern seaboard of our country ay parang nanggaling ito somewhere sa Pacific Ocean, pero ito ay hindi for delivery sa Pilipinas,” Albayalde said.
Albayalde met with officials from the Australian Federal Police during the launch of Philippine Internet Crimes Against Children Center in Camp Crame.
“Ang possibility nito ay for delivery ito sa Australia. Isa iyon, that’s a big possibility. Kasi according to the Australian police, medyo maganda ang value, market value ng cocaine doon sa lugar nila... So we think na ito ay naanod talaga sa atin. Naanod sa atin ito, most probably, either nagcapsize o talagang di-nump ito and then babalikan na lang natin,” he added

Both the Philippine and Australian authorities believe that the contraband which floated to the eastern seaboard are connected to the cocaine bricks that were recovered in Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea in September last year because of its similar markings.
