Judge Leoncio Janolo of Pasig City Regional Trial Court Branch 264 also ordered accused Chua Chi Li, Huang Hong We, Joey Lu and Xingfu Wang to pay P1 million each. Janolo said the foreigners violated the Dangerous Drugs Law after six kilos of shabu in liquid form, drug equipment, precursors and essential chemicals used in making shabu were seized from their possession. Records showed that anti-narcotics agents led by Senior Supt. Federico Laciste raided the suspects' shabu laboratory in Barangay Kapitolyo, Pasig City on Nov. 6, 2001. Authorities also seized during the raid three firearms, a grenade, claymore mine, several rounds of ammunition and explosive devices. Judge Panolo also ordered the immediate transfer of the accused to the National Bilibid Prisons in Muntinlupa City. - --- MAP posted-by: Terry Liittschwager
