00:00Because we need to know that the drugs are really successful

00:08and we don't have a chance to come back to something else.

00:14We need to report what we need to do.

00:24That's why I'm here today, just to see how the system works.

00:30It's very solid from the capture of the illegal drugs

00:40all the way until the destruction of the illegal drugs also.

00:46I was very interested to see.

00:51The chamber's temperature will be raised to 700 degrees Celsius

00:59which is hot enough to destroy all of the active elements within the drug.

01:06So after 700 degrees Celsius, it will not be shabu anymore, it will not be marijuana anymore,

01:16it will not be any drug anymore.

01:19So that's what we are here to witness.

01:25At this point, matagal pa ito, iinit pa ito for another 10 hours.

01:32Tapos mag-aantay tayo ng 12 hours bago palalamigin ulit

01:38para makita kung naubos na talaga yung ating sinunog.

01:43Kapag may nakita na may traces pa ay babalik nila, uulitin na lang nila para talagang sirang-sira.

01:51Pero papalagay ko, with 700 degrees, with that long period of time, 10 hours na linuluto,

01:58ay palagay ko makikita natin na sira na talaga yan.

02:02And that's why we are here today.

02:04So I'm glad that the press is here para makita ninyo kung ano ba talaga ang sistema.

02:10I'm also happy that I was able to get the opportunity na makapunta rito

02:14para makita ko rin ang buong sistema

02:19from the capture all the way until its destruction.
