Meet the man who's probably the 'richest' Bilibid inmate
"An inspection on the cells of high-profile inmates of New Bilibid Prison (NBP) on Monday yielded illegal drugs, cash, and various luxury items," reports ABS-CBNnews.com.
One of the cells inspected belongs to convicted robbery gang leader Herbert "Ampang" Colanggo.
Colangco's cell boasted of three storage vaults containing eight luxury watches: five Rolexes, one Patek Philippe, one Cartier, and one Panerai.
The report noted: "Also in the vaults were cash of various currencies and luxury wallets from high-end brands such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, and Hermes."
Yes, folks, his prison cell sounds more like a boutique at a five-star hotel!

Floating 'shabu laboratory' found in Subic Bay
SUBIC, ZAMBALES - A 50-meter fish carrier vessel that allegedly
served as a "floating shabu laboratory" was seized by authorities along
the coast of Barangay Calapandayan, Subic, Zambales on Monday night.
PNP Director General Ronald dela Rosa, who boarded the fishing
vessel, said the boat was being used to bring illegal drugs to the
Philippines from abroad.
"Sa loob lang ng dalawang araw, nakakagawa na ng shabu. Ibabagsak sa
dagat, may pipick-up na Pinoy sa mga lugar. Route possibly Ilocos to
Cagayan and Ilocos to Pangasinan from Subic,” he said.
Four Chinese from Hong Kong were arrested in the operation.
According to the Bureau of Immigration (BI), three of the four
suspects are first-timers in the Philippines; one or two of them
possibly chemists of the clandestine laboratory.
A plastic bag containing what could be shabu was recovered in the bag of one of the suspects.
Richard Chua, alien control officer of the Bureau of Immigration
said, “Isa sa kanila ang kapitan ng barko. Base sa passport nila
dumating sila pitong araw na sa Pilipinas lahat sakay ng Cathay Pacific
mula Hong Kong. Tatlo sa apat ang first timer, samantalang iyung isa, in
and out sa Pilipinas.”
The big question is, what were they doing aboard the fishing vessel in the middle of the sea?
Authorities are still investigating if they were producing shabu while on board the vessel.
PNP Anti Illegal Drugs Group head Chief Supt. Bert Ferro said it is
possible that the floating shabu laboratory may have manufactured and
delivered the around 180 kilos of shabu recovered in Claveria, Cagayan.

Bounty for Duterte et al. now P1B
TOP DRUG and crime lords are raising a P1-billion bounty for the
heads of President-elect Rodrigo Duterte, incoming Philippine National
Police chief Ronald de la Rosa, a new senator and a prisons official.
A source told Inquirer.net that about 20 crime bosses, mostly drug
lords doing time at the New Bilibid Prison (NBP), would contribute to
the kill-Duterte fund.
According to the source, who sought anonymity for obvious reasons,
earlier reports of a P50-million bounty on the heads of Duterte and De
la Rosa “are not true, but bigger.”
“Not only one person will pay, but people from different
organizations,” said the source, who has intimate knowledge of the
illegal drug trade.
“There are probably 20,” the source said, of the “main players” who
each pledged to toss P50 million into the pot, which would total P1
billion.
De la Rosa earlier said that drug lords in the NBP had offered P10
million each for his and Duterte’s heads. But there were no takers so
the bounty was raised to P50 million each.
The bounty from the drug lords came after Duterte offered rewards for
every drug lord and pusher killed. The President-elect promised P5
million for every dead drug lord, P3 million for a syndicate member and
P50,000 for a small-time pusher.
De la Rosa then issued a warning to criminals: “We will crush you. We will bury you.”
“Nasisiraan na yung mga tao sa loob. Hindi kasi nila alam kung
seseryosohin ni Digong yung sinabi niyang papatayin lahat ng drug lords
doon (The convicts are going crazy. They don’t know if Digong will
really carry out his threat to kill the drug lords in prison),” the
source said.
De Lima, too
Apart from Duterte and De la Rosa, included in the kill-list are
former justice secretary turned Senator-elect Leila de Lima and Bureau
of Corrections (BuCor) chief Ricardo Rainier Cruz III, the source said.
De Lima led the first in a series of raids at the NBP that resulted
in the discovery of moneyed inmates, mostly drug lords, living in
“suite-like” huts with appliances, hot tubs, gadgets and more.
Following the first raid, 19 high-profile inmates, including the drug
lords, were transferred to the National Bureau of Investigation while
Building 14, a highly secure facility at the NBP, was constructed.
After construction, the 19 inmates were moved back to the NBP and
imprisoned in Building 14, where they are isolated from the other
inmates.
Cruz, on the other hand, initiated “Oplan Galugad,” regular raids
conducted at the NBP to seize contraband and other prohibited items from
the inmates. More than 30 “galugads” have been conducted. He also
ordered the dismantling of huts [kubol] that housed high-profile
inmates.
Last February, Cruz dismantled a two-story structure occupied by one inmate. It was renovated to house elderly prisoners.
The source said two of the 20 prisoners who pledged to chip in for
the P1 billion were among the “Bilibid 19” currently detained at
Building 14, while two others were chemists and Filipino prisoners who
belonged to the same organization.
13 soldiers test positive for drug use at Army HQ
Thirteen soldiers tested positive for drug use after surprise tests were conducted at the Phlippine Army headquarters in Fort Bonifacio on Wednesday.
The soldiers were immediately placed under military custody pending the result of confirmatory tests, Army spokesman Col. Benjie Hao said.
"We do not tolerate these things, we don't tolerate illegal drugs in the Philippine Army," Hao said.
More than 2,500 soldiers assigned at the Army headquarters were subjected to mandatory tests after their morning exercises on Wednesday.
In 2013, 131 Army personnel were discharged from the service after they tested postive for drug use. Thirty-eight were discharged for the same reason in 2014; 30 last year. —NB, GMA News

Who is PNP Chief Ronald 'Bato' Dela Rosa?
The Philippine National Police’s Criminal Investigation and
Detection Group (CIDG) has identified the Board of Inquiry members
tasked to probe the Mamasapano Clash and among them is Sr. Supt. Ronald
dela Rosa.
Dela Rosa, a graduate of the Philippine Military
Academy (PMA) class ’86, was former director of the Davao City Police
Office (DCPO).
He was one of the 38 police officers cited by
President Benigno Aquino during the Araw ng Parangal Sa Kapulisan for
the arrest of Malaysian terrorist Mohd Noor Fikrie Binabd Hahar and
wife Annabel Nieva Lee in Davao City.

| Bato portraying Vin Diesel |
Dela Rosa has become a
celebrity of sorts in Davao thanks to his many conquests and
accomplishments. Dabawenyos call him “The Rock” or sometimes, “Vin
Diesel” but he is popularly known as “Bato” not only because of his
obviously hard muscles but because he grew up in Barangay Bato in Sta.
Cruz, Davao del Sur.
He was responsible for reducing by almost 60
percent the circulation of illegal drugs in the city since he took over
DCPO, following Oplan Tukhang (Tuktok-Hangyo).
“Effective
kayo ang personal appeal para sa mga (A personal appeal is effective
for) suspected drug pushers—it worked both ways as they knew they were
already identified but they are being given a chance to live provided
they stop their activities,’ he said.
While Tukhang was highly
successful, dela Rosa said there are those who still opted to continue
with the illegal drug trade because it is really lucrative. Another
successful strategy which he is proud of is Oplan Pakgang (Pitulon ang
Kabatan-onan sa Gang) or Disciplining Youths in Gangs.
Ironically, dela Rosa’s most glaring accomplishment is also the source
of his frustration. “I would have wanted to accomplish a drugless
society where there is zero drug use but he admits this is almost
impossible.” For as long barangays like 23-C exists, it will be
difficult to completely eradicate the drug trade in the city. This
barangay, also known as Mini Forest is an identified depressed area with
mostly transient residents who just drop off drugs and leave.
Dela Rosa is now assigned at Camp Crame but Dabawenyos are looking forward to having him back.
The other members of the Board are Director Catalino Rodriguez, PMA
class 8 and currently the Director of the Directorate for Reseach and
Development (DRD); Chief Superintendent John Sosito, PNPA class ’84 and
current Executive Officer of DIPO-Eastern Mindanao; Senior
Superintendent Roberto Po, PNPA class 85 and currently Deputy PIO, PNP;
Senior Superintendent Cesar Hawthorne Binag, PMA class ’87 and served a
tour of duty with the UN Mission in Liberia in 2013-2014; Senior
Superintendent Benigno Durana Jr., PMA class ’88, who was formerly
Provincial Director of Aklan PPO and had a brief assignment with SAF in
1990-1992 as Operation Officer; Chief Inspector David Joy Duarte, PNPA
class 2005, who served as SAF Intelligence Officer and Logistics Officer
and Director Benjamin Magalong, board of inquiry chief, a former SAF
Battalion Commander who saw action during the siege at Camp Bagong Diwa
in Bicutan, Taguig City.
As a member of the Board, it is
expected of dela Rosa to conduct an “objective, impartial and thorough
investigation into the Mamasapano incident.” Lovely A. Carillo

Scared Philippine drug dealers, addicts surrender
 |
'Death squad' Duterte becomes Philippine President today and he has promised a 'bloody' term
Thousands of drug dealers and addicts across the Philippines are surrendering to police, as a mayor known for backing extrajudicial killings of criminals takes office today as the nation's 16th president.
In Bonuan Gueset, a coastal district in Dagupan city, 200km north of
the capital Manila, over 500 confessed drug addicts turned themselves
over to their village chief early this week and signed notes pledging to
get themselves rehabilitated.
They fear for their lives, Mr Ricardo Mejia, the village chief, told The Philippine Daily Inquirer.
They have a good reason to be afraid: Mr Rodrigo Duterte.
Mr Duterte will be inaugurated today for a six-year term as
Philippine President, ushering in a new government that has promised a
brutal war on crime.
Since Mr Duterte swept to victory in the May 9 elections, police and
unnamed vigilantes have killed at least 54 suspected drug lords and
dealers.
That works out to one killed a day, an escalation from the first four
months of the year when the rate was about two a week, according to a
Reuters report last week.
Fearful that they may also end up in body bags, some 300 peddlers and
users of narcotics in an eastern suburb of metropolitan Manila and over
4,000 more in the vast southern region of Mindanao were reported to
have surrendered to police this week.
Mr Duterte had warned addicts: "If I can't convince you to stop, I'll have you killed…"
The 71-year-old mayor of the southern city of Davao carved a menacing
reputation as a tough-talking, gun-toting maverick who does not shy
away from using means outside the law when dealing with criminals.
He has been accused of unleashing "death squads" in a bruising,
two-decade war on crime in Davao, now regarded as one of the nation's
safest cities. He has said his term would be "bloody".
Even before he was elected, he had already promised to send the
bodies of tens of thousands of criminals to the bottom of Manila Bay.
In recent weeks, he has cheered on security forces with offers of a 3
million peso (S$86,000) bounty and a medal as the body count rose.
"I believe in retribution. Why? You should pay. When you kill someone, rape, you should die," he said on Monday.
Over 600 guests have been invited to Mr Duterte's inauguration at
noon today at Malacanang Palace, the seat of political power here.
In a break with tradition, he has chosen not to have
Vice-President-elect Leni Robredo at his inauguration. Mr Duterte has
kept his distance from the 52-year-old widow out of a sense of gratitude
towards his ally, former senator Ferdinand Marcos Jr. Ms Robredo, a
close ally of outgoing President Benigno Aquino, beat Mr Marcos, 58, by a
slim margin in the elections.
Mr Duterte had said he refused to give Ms Robredo a Cabinet post as he did not want to "hurt (Mr Marcos') feelings".
