A shanty town in Pasig City (where we were working), located around the corner from local goverment and police offices, has been raided and a “one stop shabu shop” has been discovered. Shabu is a locally manufactured drug and over 300 people have been arrested in association with the raid. I asked a few locals what shabu is and the common response has been that it is the Filipino equivalent to crack. According to the newspaper, shabu is a form of methamphetamine (perhaps a close cousin to crystal meth which has become a scourge in Canada). Investigations into what the local police knew about the activities in the area are ongoing.
