PASAY JAIL PRISONERS STAGE NOISE BARRAGE

Pasay City Jail inmates on Wednesday staged a noise  barrage for more
than an hour to protest the drug tests  ordered on four prison leaders
suspected of involvement  in the smuggling in of the banned drug, shabu.

The four prison leaders, identified as Jake Villanueva  and Reynaldo
Lungco of the Batang City Jail (BCJ), and  Egoy Clino and Wilfredo
Ravacio of the Sigue-Sigue  Sputnik gang (SSS), were earlier taken out
of the jail  for their drug tests.

The noise barrage started about 12:30 in the afternoon.

The incident stemmed from an alleged confession made by  another
inmate's partner, who said she was among those  tasked to bring drugs
into the facility.

The noise barrage stopped after cops fired three  warning shots.
