Six Chinese nationals and one Filipino were arrested in a buy-bust operation in an alleged abortion clinic in Parañaque City on Monday.
Maj. Gen. Edgar Okubo, chief of the National Capital Region Regional Police Office, said their operatives bought a medicine used for abortion in the clinic.
"There was an immediate arrest inside the clinic and confiscation of these medicines, Okubo said on Tuesday. "Doon natin nakita na napakalaki sa loob pala," he also said."Until now, they are accounting these medicines. And meron din palang clinic sa loob for abortion purposes. So may mga traces pa ng blood na naiwan doon. We are completing the investigation as of this time."
