The Bureau of Immigration (BI) reported the arrest of a Chinese fugitive who was later found to be allegedly heading a methamphetamine laboratory in Rizal. The fugitive, identified as Shi Chunfang, was apprehended on December 14 in a residential area in Taytay, Rizal. According to reports, Shi is wanted by Chinese authorities for kidnapping, with a standing warrant issued by the Public Security Bureau of Jinjiang City in 2024. However, the deportation was cancelled after authorities received intelligence information linking him to illegal drug activities, allowing further investigation and the possible filing of local cases. "We cannot allow this person to just leave the country and not face his crimes here," Viado said.
