Police are hunting two Chinese nationals tagged as operators of the so-called mega-shabu laboratory discovered in Barangay Bano, Arayat, Pampanga, Thursday during a raid.
Chief Supt. Aaron Aquino, Central Luzon police acting director, identified the two Chinese nationals as Anthony Reyes Cua and Jacky Lee Shi.
The shabu lab was disguised as a piggery-corn crusher facility.
According to Aquino, a Toyota Corolla Altis was found abandoned at the shabu lab complex is registered in the name of Cua. Found inside a Honda Civic was Shi's driver's license. The two vehicles are now in the custody of the Arayat municipal government.
Based on the documents found at the scene, the two Chinese lived in Binangonan, Rizal and in Pasig City.
Earlier arrested was Hong Wenzheng, caretaker of the mega-shabu laboratory. He is now in the custody of the Pampanga police intelligence branch.
The local government, in coordination with the Philippine National Police and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency, carried out the raid on the shabu lab.
Personnel from the Bureau of Fire Protection and the local government accidentally discovered the shabu during fire safety and sanitary inspections at the piggery located at the foot of Mt. Arayat.
Meanwhile, in Bacolod City, a high-profile drug suspect has been cleared by a regional trial court judge of drug charges.
Cuadra was arrested in his residence in Brgy. 1 Poblacion, Bacolod City, for violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
Cuadra was among the four high-profile drug personalities in Negros Occidental arrested by police in line with Oplan Double Barrel campaign of the PNP.
However, he was released from the Bacolod District Jail last Wednesday due to the "nullity" of search warrant used by the police for justifying the raid. Also, the evidence recovered from Cuadra's house was deemed inadmissible in court.
