Best Posts in Thread: British national and filipina girlfriend arrested selling ecstasy

A British national and his Filipina girlfriend who were allegedly selling some tablets of Ecstacy inside a disco bar in Mantuyong, Mandaue City yesterday dawn.

Kevin Felix Heins Andrew Tauber, 52, and his live-in-partner, Anna Manas, 28, were caught in a buy-bust operation. They claimed to be residing at Marigondon, Lapu-Lapu City.

Insp. Henrix Bancoleta, who led the operation, said in an interview that they conducted the buy-bust operation at the International Bar Complex, which the foreigner co-owns, at past 3 a.m.

The team was composed of operatives of the City Anti-illegal Drugs Special Operation Task Group of the Mandaue City Police Office.

Bancoleta said a police decoy acted as the poseur-buyer by pretending to buy a tablet of the illegal drug for P1,000. The decoy “transacted” with Manas at the table. http://www.philstar.com/cebu-news/6...rlfriend-arrested-they-were-allegedly-selling

 

A few tabs of ecstasy.... why blow my mind. If an estimated 30,million Filipino smoke shabu and it's a mandatory life in prison, then almost one third of the population would be locked up. No wonder evidence against high-level drug traffickers remains limited and majority of LEO'S have one eye shut! But again ( a Global problem)
It's going to take a lot to clean house. Thanks out to those that saved the Philippines from some ecstacy tabs and let's keep in mind the TONS of shabu smoked daily!

Now that's just funny. Wonder why the girls were running away when the police came in? I thought the police usually raid these types of bars to "rescue" the girls from evil foreigners.

So this guy was not only dealing drugs (and to locals no-less).....but also running a girly bar. Absolutely genius! Was this guy trying to get arrested?

Side note:

Ecstasy Effects:

• A perceived increase in energy levels.
• A euphoric state of being.
• Distorted perception of time.
• Higher pleasure from and desire for physical touch.
• Increased levels of sexuality and sexual arousal.
• Elevated alertness.
• Increased energy and focus.

Phew! Good thing they got rid of that dangerous stuff. Don't want anyone being euphoric, smiling, hugging or dancing too much! Now the bar's customers can get the legal stuff from the bartender.....that can cause (same website):

• Increased heart rate
• High blood pressure
• Dizziness
• Tremors
• Mood changes
• Paranoia.

Drink enough of the legal stuff for long enough and you can also have these added health "benefits":

• Heart attack
• Stroke
• Respiratory failure
• Coma increase
• Psychosis
• Immune deficiencies
• Organ damage

It's a good thing that the police ignored all those prostitutes so that people can, not only, have the added health benefits of alcohol at the bar.....but STDs as well! Good lookin' out, Government, doin' a great job!

 

Using drugs (including ethanol) to cope with ones problems is a recipe for addiction and I'd bet that the addiction rate in the Philippines is high because of this. This might be one reason why so many locals drink until they throw up/pass out. It is their escape from the realities of life. This is not unique to Filipinos though, I see foreigners here using drugs to escape their problems every single time I go to a bar as well.
