P244M cocaine only ‘passing through’ PHBy ROY NARRAhome/News/Regions/P244M cocaine only ‘passing through’ PHThe Philippines was only a transhipment point for the 70 blocks of cocaine found on the shores of Siargao and Dinagat islands, the Philippine National Police (PNP) chief said on Saturday afternoon. “[The blocks of cocaine] will just pass through in the Philippines, then these will be shipped to other countries. The blocks of cocaine found on Siargao and Dinagat islands, however, had no GPS. He suspects that the blocks of cocaine were meant to be delivered to western South Africa. A lot of people there are using cocaine, but with regard to Asian countries, it is not popular here,” Albayalde said.
