This was the directive of Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada to the 4,000-strong Manila Police District, as he ordered them to scour the city for other drug “tiangges” (illegal drug stalls) that might still be operating. The mayor made the pronouncement a day after a “drug den” was found under the Muelle de Binondo right underneath the police precinct 7 during clearing operations. He said they would exert “all effort to uncover these shabu stalls and tiangges,” warning police station commanders they could be sacked if they were not “on their feet all the time.” SFM/rga “We will thoroughly scour the entire city, every corner, every alley, every bridge, all possible hiding places,” said Estrada, who admitted he was still furious at what happened at Binondo. “We are now increasing the level of our intelligence operations,” Coronel said in response.
