MANILA, Philippines – A man has been arrested for allegedly attempting to sneak illegal drugs into Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig City, said the police.

The Southern Police District (SPD), in a news release on Friday, said Jeremiah Buenaventura, 24, was nabbed Thursday afternoon after a jail officer discovered four sachets of crystal meth or shabu worth over P162,000, which were placed on the former’s shoe soles during a “paabot” (hand-in) activity.
