The laboratory was concealed beneath a warehouse in Barangay (village) Balitucan at the foot of Mount Arayat, and was three kilometers east of the regional police training center and the Central Luzon Drug Rehabilitation Center.
Police detained seven Chinese nationals who were at the compound. They were identified as Luey Wang, Philip Chang, Wang Shi Xu, Alvin Wang who also used the name James, Xiao Po, Sonny Si, and a woman who identified herself as Susan.
Five children, aged 7 to 15 years old, were also found at the compound and were taken into custody by social workers.
The operation was led by Wilkins Villanueva, PDEA director for the National Capital Region, armed with a search warrant from a Cabanatuan City court. He said the Magalang laboratory was part of a network of five facilities that have been supplying drugs in Luzon.
Wang said he operated the piggery for the last two years and said he had no knowledge about the laboratory under the warehouse where feeds were milled and mixed.
Senior Superintendent Graciano Mijares, Central Luzon police deputy director for operations, said the raid was based on a search warrant issued by Cabanatuan Regional Trial Court Judge Johnmuel Mendoza.
”We found an underground shabu research laboratory and some finished products in one of the buildings,” said Senior Superintendent Wilkins Villanueva, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency director for the National Capital Region.
