Up to police and Paranaque to file charges vs two Chinese with unregistered medicine

April 28, 2020

The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) on Tuesday said the two Chinese found keeping unregistered Chinese medicine in Parañaque City last April 26 were not arrested pending the filing of appropriate charges against them.

In a statement, NCRPO said the charges against them will be based on the result of the test by the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA).

“The status validity of their stay in the Philippines is also being verified,” it added.

Police Major General Debold Sinas, the NCRPO chief, told a virtual press briefing it will be up to the Parañaque City police and the local government to file cases against them.

Authorities confiscated around 470 boxes of assorted Chinese medicines from a house owned by a certain Yumei Liang and a clinic owned by Wenkai Sheng.

The confiscated medicines were sent to the Food and Drugs Administration for analysis. Ella Dionisio/DMS
