Senate minority joins Pacquiao in probe of smuggled P6.8-B ‘shabu’

THE Senate minority bloc joined administration ally, Sen. Emmanuel 'Manny' Pacquiao, in seeking an investigation on the reported smuggling of over one ton of “shabu” worth P6.8 billion.

Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon, Senators Antonio Trillanes 4th, Paolo Benigno Aquino 4th, Risa Hontiveros and Leila de Lima filed Resolution 849 directing the Blue Ribbon Commitee to investigate how the shabu 'shipment' managed to enter the country through the Manila International Container Port (MICP) and slipped through the inspection of the Bureau of Customs (BOC).
