Grade 9 student probed after ‘shabu’ seized at Leyte school

A 14-year-old Grade 9 student in Leyte, Philippines, is under investigation after a sachet containing suspected 'shabu' (crystal meth) was found on school premises. The incident occurred at Javier National High School, where the student, referred to by the alias 'CMC', was reportedly reprimanded for loitering. During escort to the guardhouse, the student allegedly discarded the sachet, which was later retrieved by school staff. Authorities, including the local police and social welfare office, intervened, and the sachet was sent for forensic testing. The case highlights ongoing concerns about drug infiltration in educational institutions and the need for collaboration between schools, families, and law enforcement.
