The Philippine authority raided a floating Shabu lab right after they received several reliable reports from their intelligence division. The document reportedly cited a foreign ship as the main operating ground for large scale production of prohibited drugs in the country.
The Philippine National Police and no less than PNP Chief Ronald dela Rosa conducted an operation aiming to seize tons of chemical drugs which they believed stored inside the floating vessel.
The arresting officers, in full battle gears, strategically attacked the ship thinking that the people onboard will show resistance to the government forces. When the police successfully took control of the ship, they immediately captured the foreigners inside the marine vessel who were later identified as Hongkong nationals.
Upon inspecting the decks of the ship, the authorities retrieved one pack of Shabu. Surprisingly, the big chemical containers they found in the ship were all empty.
