SHABU SHIPMENT PROBE: Senator Richard Gordon, chair of the Senate Blue Ribbon Committee, urges the cooperation of the People’s Republic of China in the country’s investigation of P6.4 billion of illegal drugs found in Valenzuela last May. During the continuation of the Senate probe on the issue on Thursday, August 31, 2017, Gordon said that the Chinese government needs to work with the country in fighting the spread of illegal drugs, given the number of Chinese citizens who have been actively participating in the local drug trade. “I am scared that if this continues to happen, we will really become a narco-state,” he said.
