00:00Good evening, Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
00:05Due to a bomb blast, the operation of a shabu manufacturer in a small house in Tanza, Cavite
00:16Six people are being investigated, including some foreigners.
00:20Up to 20 kilos of illegal drugs can be found there based on recovered evidence.
00:28And from Tanza, Cavite, Ian Cruz is live.
00:37Vicky Mel, if not because of the powerful explosion, the authorities will not be able to discover
00:42the shabu manufacturing laboratory operating in Palihim, here in Tanza, Cavite.
00:48At 5 a.m., the people of Sahud Ulan in Tanza, Cavite were shocked by the explosion.
00:59It came from a famous shabu laboratory.
01:02It was a powerful explosion.
01:04Like what?
01:05Like a bomb.
01:06And then?
01:07When it came out, we saw a lot of smoke.
01:11Next, they saw the people who were cleaning the house from the explosion.
01:16The barangay also got CCTV footage of the people who were walking.
01:21Two men were the first to go out on the Antero-Soriano Highway, followed by two women and two more men.
01:29According to the barangay captain, the people who were walking on social media in November
01:34were the relatives of the owner of the house.
01:37They posted on Facebook that they have a parade like this.
01:41That's their story.
01:43The residents of the house also did not notice anything suspicious,
01:47except for the delivery men.
01:49Sometimes, delivery men come here, like riders.
01:55Just like that.
01:56Is it often?
01:57I don't think it's often.
01:59What do they deliver there?
02:01Of course, we don't know that either.
02:04In response, the firefighters discovered a room next to the house
02:09that was suspected of cooking drugs.
02:12What exploded was a container where the chemicals were crystallized to become drugs.
02:18Aside from PNP Soko, PIDEA also went into the investigation.
02:23A kitchen pipe that was starting to blow up hit them.
02:28Based on the chemicals and the items that were found,
02:32the capacity is 10 to 20 kilos per production.
02:36But they also found boxes of equipment and paraphernalia.
02:41So there may be planning on expanding if their batches are successful.
02:48Because according to our assessment, nothing has been found yet.
02:51The chemicals were recovered at the drug paraphernalia,
02:56at the chain of the finished product of the shabu and gas mask.
03:00They are also continuing to investigate who are the delivery men and Filipinos who entered the house.
03:05The initial profile that was given to us was a Chinese-looking.
03:10The last one was a Chinese-looking for 9165.
03:13So it's easier to find.
03:14There are two Indonesians and one Filipino.
03:17So we are looking at their roles.
03:19Currently, our police are working with the Crime Laboratory and PIDEA
03:27on the inventory of evidence that was seized in this place.
03:35Vicky, according to PIDEA-PUSPUSAN,
03:41their coordination with the PNP, the Bureau of Immigration,
03:45and other agencies of the government is to investigate the escaped suspects.
03:51That's the latest from Tanza Cavite.
03:53Back to you, Vicky.
03:55Thank you very much, Ian Cruz.
