(NI NOEL ABUEL)

IPINAKAKANSELA ni Senador Franklin Drilon ang pasaporte ng tinaguriang  ‘drug queen’ na si Guia Gomez Castro, na kasalukuyang magtatago sa batas.

Sinabi ni Senate Minority Leader Drilon sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA), dapat ay agad na kumilos ito bago pa mahuli ang lahat.

Nabatid na kinumpirma na nakaalis na ng bansa si Castro, chairwoman ng Barangay 484 Zone 48 sa lungsod ng Maynila noong Setyembre 21 sakay ng Cebu Pacific flight patungo sa Bangkok, Thailand.

“It appears that Mrs. Castro does not intend to return to the country and face the warrants of arrest issued against her sin1ce 2002 for violation of Republic Act 6425 or the Dangerous Drugs Act. Hence, she is a fugitive from justice,” ani Drilon.

“The jurisprudence clarifies that mere commission of a crime and subsequent flight thereto sufficiently meets the definition of a fugitive,” dagdag pa nito.

Apela pa nito sa Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) na kumilos sa lalong madaling panahon para maibalik sa bansa si Castro.

“Hence, the DFA, to avoid miscarriage of justice and by virtue of the Philippine Passport Act, can validly and lawfully cancel her passport so we can restrict Castro’s movement, and summon her back to the country to face charges against her,” aniya pa.
