Padilla also witnessed a methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu being "cooked" inside or readied at the NBP's most extreme security compound and a detainee bringing an Armalite rfile while walking around in the compound.
“It’s an old story. When I got out of prison I showed it in (my movie)Hari ng Selda,” he added.

Tesoro said “There was speculation at the time about a shabu lab in the maximum security compound but Robin was classified as a medium security inmate. He was only hearing stories,”
Tesoro likewise misrepresented Padilla's claim that prisoners were allowed to show weapons inside. image credit
