Drug suspects charged Taiwanese denies involvement



Two Taiwanese and four Filipinos have been charged with possession of illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia at the Provincial Prosecutor’s Office here.

One of the foreign suspects, however, denied involvement in drugs.

Chi Ping Chou alias “Sophia,” 44, and Chia Huei Ma alias “Chia-Chia,” 27, were arrested in a buy-bust operation in Sitio Ambulong, Brgy. Manoc-manoc in Boracay Wednesday last week.

Collared along with them were Jomar Celorico alias “John-john,” 20, of Brgy. Punta Libas, Roxas City, Capiz, and Vangie Inoc alias “Jennifer,” 34, of Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.

Rheafaye Thomas, 23, and Mariel Joyce Kiling Roxas, 20, were also arrested in another buy-bust operation last week.

Police seized from the suspects some P250,000 worth of shabu — considered the biggest haul in the history of Boracay — and illegal drug paraphernalia.

Illegal drug charges were filed against them on Saturday.

Chia, who claimed to be four months pregnant, said she was not involved in illegal drug trade.

She was hoping the Taiwanese government will help her in the case.

She also claimed to have lost P5,000 during the buy-bust operation. “I suspect the police may have something to do with it,” she said.

Police officers who spoke on condition of anonymity said it was impossible for the buy-bust team to take her money.

Many other policemen and the media were there to witness the operation, they said.

Joint operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, Boracay Tourist Assistance Center and the Provincial Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group staged the buy-bust.

Scene of the crime operatives who examined the confiscated drugs confirmed they were shabu./
