SAN RICARDO, Southern Leyte – Diosdado Bakhawon was fishing at the seawaters of Kinachawa village in San Ricardo town here on Tuesday morning when he got the biggest surprise of his life. He pulled out a blue plastic container that he found floating on the sea. When he opened it, the container contained 22 plastic bags of high grade marijuana worth P42 million. Bakhawon immediately turned out the dried marijuana leaves to Demetrio Malto, barangay captain of Kinachawa who then alerted the police. Benjamin Florano, San Ricardo police chief, said verification showed that the dried leaves were indeed high grade marijuana.
