A man who was about to visit a person deprived of liberty (PDL) at the Minglanilla Municipal Jail in the Province of Cebu was arrested on January 8, 2024 after he was found to have possessed suspected shabu inserted into a bunch of bananas.

The visitor was identified as John Paul Celedoña, 28 years old, a resident of Barangay Tungkop in the Municipality of Minglanilla.

Celedoña was set to visit a PDL identified as Deniel Lamay de Gracia at Dorm 6.

Celedoña was at the searching area attended to by Jail Officer 1 Melvin Sanico when the inspection was carried out.

JO1 Sanico examined a bunch of bananas that the suspect brought as a supposed present to de Gracia.

However, Sanico found out upon scrutiny that there were something more to the bananas. Sanico pulled from within the bananas a plastic pack and a rolled aluminum foil. The plastic pack contained suspected shabu.

Celedoña was not allowed to leave the jail facility.
