A Taiwanese man identified as Chen Te Ho Chang, also known as Te Ho Chen and alias “Tanda,” is sentenced to life imprisonment for a large-scale shabu case in Las Piñas City, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) says. PDEA reports that the conviction stems from findings by the Las Piñas City Regional Trial Court (RTC) Branch 255, based on a decision dated June 16. The case is linked to the discovery of 71 kilograms of shabu (crystal meth) in a warehouse in Las Piñas. PDEA says the court found Chen guilty of violating Section 11 of Republic Act No. 9165, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. One outlet also reports that the sentence includes a fine of ₱2 million in addition to life imprisonment, as stated by PDEA. The agency’s statements identify the charge and the drug quantity involved, and describe the court’s role in rendering the June 16 decision that led to the life sentence.
