Three Chinese nationals were given life sentences and a fine of three million pesos each, for possession of seven kilograms of shabu, in violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. | |||
In a press statement, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Director General, Undersecretary Jose S. Gutierrez, Jr. said PDEA is satisfied with the decision of the Parañaque City Regional Trial Court Branch 259. | |||
Parañaque RTC Branch 259 found Sunxiao Xu, alias “William Chua”; Wenxian Hong, alias “Andy Hong”; and a woman XiuQin Shi, alias “Kim Sy,” guilty as charged after almost two years of trial. | |||
“I am very much pleased that Judge Danilo V. Suarez, presiding judge of RTC Branch 259 in Parañaque City, found the evidence presented in court were solid to prove the guilt of the accused,” Gutierrez said. | |||
Guiterrez added that the two convicts, Sunxiao and Wenxian face double life sentences, after they were also found guilty for selling almost 500 grams of shabu, while XiuQin was acquitted of the said crime. | |||
A part of the 18-page decision reads: “… the court so holds and believes that the prosecution has established its case against the accused with moral certainty, proven the existence of elements of the offenses charged and that the corpus delicti properly established and preserved.” | |||
In welcoming the court's decision, Gutierrez said, “The good collaboration among the different pillars of our justice system: law enforcement, investigation and prosecution, the courts, and the community, represents another victory in our unrelenting campaign against illegal drugs.” | |||
Authorities are ordered to prepare a warrant of commitment to prison, for the immediate transfer of the two male convicts to the New Bilibid Prisons, Muntinlupa City, while the woman convict will be transferred to the Correctional Institute for Women, Mandaluyong City. | |||
On April 18, 2010, the three were arrested in a buy-bust operation along Doña Soledad Avenue, Better Living in Parañaque City. | |||
