The Supreme Court has affirmed the life imprisonment imposed by both the trial court and the Court of Appeals on a Malaysian national who was arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in 2010 with almost six kilos of shabu in his luggage.
Hock was brought to a room and agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency were summoned to check and test what customs examiners believed was prohibited drugs hidden in the bag of Hock.The seized shabu was then marked per plastic bag and photographed. The inventory was done in the presence of Hock and it was witnessed by representatives of the Department of Justice and the media, and a barangay official.
During trial, Hock denied ownership of the seized shabu inside his bag and claimed he was framed up. He alleged that while he was at the customs area of the airport, a person unknown to him approached him and asked him to open his bag. “In the instant case, the prosecution was able to establish all the elements of the crime of Importation of Dangerous Drugs when accused-appellant was caught red-handed bringing into the Philippines almost six kilograms of shabu without lawful authority.”“After a careful perusal of the records of the case, We hold and so rule that the prosecution was able to prove an unbroken chain of custody of the seized drugs.
“Furthermore, the inventory of the seized items was conducted in the presence of accused-appellant, DOJ and media representatives, and a barangay official.
