NBP drug lords still top shabu suppliers

Drug lords detained at the New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) whom President Rodrigo Duterte identified last year as the sources of methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu that reaches various parts of the country, including Metro Manila (National Capital Region or NCR), have remained as principal sources of the illegal drug.

This revelation was made by Derrick Carreon of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) on Tuesday or a few days after the agency reported the confiscation of P2.9 million worth of shabu from two NBP personnel who were arrested in a drug buy-bust led by PDEA-NCR agents inside the Mall of Asia in Pasay City last Sunday.
