Manila ‘drug queen’ challenged to come home and prove innocence

MANILA, Philippines – The alleged “drug queen” of Manila, Guia Gomez Castro should return to the Philippines and prove her innocence, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) chief  Director General Aaron Aquino said Thursday.

“I invite her to come back at i-prove niya na hindi siya drug queen. Sinasabi niya [Castro] na hindi totoong drug queen daw inakusahan siya na drug queen (Prove to us that you are not the drug queen. Because she is saying that she is not a real drug queen, that she was just accused of being the drug queen),” Aquino said in a dzMM interview.

The Bureau of Immigration earlier confirmed that Castro traveled to Bangkok, Thailand last September 21.

When asked if Castro’s major suppliers are the so-called “ninja cops,” Aquino said the “drug queen” could be in connivance with someone from National Bilibid Prison in Muntinlupa City. /gsg
