Police Capt. Abegael Donasco, deputy chief of Talisay City Police Station, said the school conducted its routine inspection on students, when a teacher recovered the illegal drugs hidden in a pad paper from the 18-year-old suspect. An improvised pipe was also recovered from him, according to the police. Donasco said the student was subjected to medical examination, and will undergo further investigation. Last month, a 21-year-old student was also caught with a hand grenade, suspected marijuana worth P120, and a tooter in the same school, following a misunderstanding with a pedicab driver. Donasco said they have met with the school's officials and barangay captain to discuss some measures that could prevent the same from happening.
