Bilibid inmate ex-mayor Antonio Sanchez caught with P1.5M worth of shabu concealed in Virgin Mary statue

Published: Jul 9, 2010 - 10:52am

Antonio Sanchez, former mayor of Calauan, Laguna, was caught with one kilo of shabu inside his cell at the Maximum Security Compound of the New Bilibid Prison, (NBP) where he is serving seven life terms for the rape-murder of Eileen Sarmenta and the murder of Allan Gomez, both students of the University of the Philippines Los Banos (UPLB) in 1993, reports Pilipino Star Ngayon.

NBP Director General Oscar Calderon told Pilipino Star Ngayon that Sanchez is suspected of selling shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) worth a total of P1.5 million to his fellow prisoners. The drugs were found concealed inside a statue of the Virgin Mary during one of NBP's random checkups. Sanchez has been known to collect icons of the Virgin Mary.

In a report by the Bureau of Corrections, Sanchez was found positive for drug use. Usually seen staring off into nothingness, he allegedly doesn't bathe and doesn't sleep at night, according to his fellow prisoners. It has been years since Sanchez had a visitor, the report said.

    well dapat lang talaga maparusahan ang kahit sino man ang nagkasala. dahil ang dyos lang ang may karapatan ang kumuha nang buhay natin. peru dahil sa mga taong walang awa kumitil nang buhay nang iba. dapat lang talaga maparusahan at dapat lang na mabigyan nang hustisya ang nangyari k aillen sarmento at sa boyfriend nito na walang awang ni rape at pinatay nang walang konsensya.

    hey miko the grandson to the rescue, shame on you para ipasa ang pagdalaw sa lolo mo! bakit hindi ikaw ang dumalaw at tigilan mo na ang pagtatanggol sa lolo mo dahil bali-baliktarin mo man ang istorya, guilty pa rin siya. and by the way how would you know if what happened is not true, dahil maybe you were not yet born when the crime happened or better yet you were just too little and walang kamuwang-muwang sa mundo when your dear grandfather commited this gruesome crime. you better shut up kung ayaw mong madamay sa galit ng mga tao sa ginawa ng mahal mong lolo!!!

    elbi,

    yes, death penalty still exists. pero we have a Republic Act which states that it shall NOT be imposed but instead be commuted to reclusion perpetua. in effect, suspended lang ang implementation ng death sentence dito.

    what the heck EX mayor sanchez!!!! the nerve! patapon na talaga ang buhay mo!!!!!!!

    mabulok na siya diyan, at sana ganyan din ang mangyari sa mga ampatuan o di kaya mas malala pa!!

    I was a college freshman at UPLB when they found the bodies of Eileen Sarmenta and Allan Gomez and transported them to the UP Police Station in a pushcart and several students saw the bloody bodies. Eileen was the cousin of my friend and she was raped several times by Mayor Sanchez and his men before being murdered along with Allan.

    It's good to know he's still in jail despite reports from previous years that he has a solo air-conditioned cell and his own burger stand inside bilibid. Maybe the drug-dealing can afford him that lifestyle. What has he got to lose with 7 life terms? I am sure drugs are a popular refuge there.

    I don't remember - was this incident before the death penalty? Does the death penalty still exist in the Philippines?

    i wonder kung saan or kanino galing yung binebenta nya na shabu kung "it has been years since (he) had a visitor"?
  • princess Jul 09 2010 @ 06:52pm Report Abuse
    I agree with chimchim, dapat mas mabigat ang parusa sa ganitong klaseng crime. So nakalusot pa yung drug-dealings nya inside the prison, buti naman at nahuli! The nerve! Nakakagigil sa galit!!!

    grabe naman yong nangyari sa magkasintahan..very depressing.. the sentence is not enough.meron pa bang ibang pwedeng gawin sa kanya na matutumbasan yong sakit na dinulot niya sa mga kamag anak ng mga pinatay niya.. hussh.. very cruel pero dapat lang sa kanya!!!at sa mga kasabwat!!!!!!!!

    OMG blast from the past Mayor Sanchez! Brings back gruesome memories of what he did to those poor UP students. Glad to know he's still in jail.
