Philippine police have launched an investigation into the origin and possible trafficking network behind more than PHP204 million worth of methamphetamine hydrochloride, or shabu, found in the province of Cavite, authorities said on Friday.

The drugs, weighing approximately 30 kilograms, were discovered inside a green suitcase abandoned along Friendship Road in Barangay Sabang, Naic town, according to the Philippine National Police’s regional office.

A Cavite security guard alerted patrolling officers to the unattended luggage, prompting a response from the Naic Municipal Police Station.

Upon inspection, the suitcase was found to contain 30 heat-sealed packets of suspected shabu.

Police Brigadier General Jack L. Wanky, acting regional director of Police Regional Office 4A, said a full investigation is underway to determine how the narcotics reached the area and to identify those responsible.

“We are taking this discovery seriously and are working to trace the source and supply chain behind this illegal drug haul,” Wanky said in a statement. “The cooperation of concerned citizens is vital in our anti-drug campaign.”

The seized drugs have been turned over to the Cavite Provincial Forensic Unit for laboratory examination.

The Philippines has struggled for years with methamphetamine trafficking, and while large-scale drug seizures have become more frequent, law enforcement faces challenges in dismantling organized drug syndicates behind them.

In Zambales yesterday, 1.5 tons of shabu worth P10 Billion were seized by the PNP and PDEA.
