The concept of Philippine narco-politics as expounded by the Intelligence Service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (ISAFP) is anchored on the alleged multi-million dollar money laundering activities of SENATOR PANFILO LACSON. According to COLONEL VICTOR CORPUS, Chief ISAFP, the money flow was SEN. LACSON's proceeds from his drug trafficking and kidnap-for-ransom activities. On June 2001, Police Superintendent JOHN P CAMPOS was implicated in SEN. LACSON's alleged money laundering activities in a report prepared by COLONEL MARIO CHAN of the ISAFP. The report specifically noted the event of P/SUPT CAMPOS' entry to the United States on 27 February 2001 in support of ISAFP's theory on narco-politics. However, P/SUPT CAMPOS has complete documentary evidence to prove his innocence on the allegations against him. On February 2001, P/SUPT CAMPOS attended a symposium and presented a paper on "Transnational Crime Organizations in the Philippines" at the University of Southern California (USC), Los Angeles, California as part of the Foreign Academic Travel Program of his public safety master's degree course. P/SUPT CAMPOS' travel authority was approved by no less than President GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO. Further, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) police officers and county sheriffs and deputy sheriffs who also attended the said symposium can attest to P/SUPT CAMPOS' claims.
DIRECTOR REYNALDO WYCOCO of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) declared under oath during the Senate hearings that P/SUPT CAMPOS was a former officer of SEN. LACSON's Presidential Anti- Organized Crime Task Force (PAOCTF). A simple verification with P/SUPT CAMPOS' police service record at the PNP Records Center, Directorate for Personnel and Records Management would prove that DIR. WYCOCO lied under oath, and that he never bothered to verify this simple piece of information. P/SUPT CAMPOS was never assigned with PAOCTF. MARY ONG has accused the now-disbanded PAOCTF of monopolizing the illegal drug operations and kidnap-for-ransom activities in the country. She also expounded on the task force's modus operandi allegedly led by P/SUPT JOHN CAMPOS in a complex illustration during the Senate hearings. However, MARY ONG's testimonies were riddled with half-truths, half lies, and inconsistencies. In her summary, MARY ONG claimed that P/SUPT CAMPOS and PAOCTF was able to traffic 2000 kilograms of "ice" into the Philippines from Hong Kong every week, and profiting an estimated $1.8 Billion USD from these criminal activities. Though P/SUPT CAMPOS was never a PAOCTF officer, still MARY ONG implicated him as part of her personal motives against the police officer. The Hong Kong Police (HKP) denied MARY ONG's allegations regarding the multi-ton "ice" shipment in an official statement made to the press. The Hong Kong Police also stated that such information were unfounded and baseless. Recently, the Senate committee heard the testimony of SPO2 MABINI ROSALE wherein he corroborated the allegations of MARY ONG. SPO2 ROSALE claimed that he recycled drugs through his friend FRANCIS DURAN, a dismissed policeman, and delivered the drug proceeds to P/SUPT CAMPOS, who was then the Chief, Intelligence Division, PNP NARGROUP. SPO2 ROSALE also alleged that he recycled a total of Twenty Kilograms (20kgs) of shabu in a period of Six (6) months under P/SUPT CAMPOS, wherein SPO2 ROSALE collected a commission of Ten Thousand Pesos (P10,000.00) from DURAN for each transaction. P/SUPT CAMPOS strongly denies the new spate of accusations against him, and argues that SPO2 ROSALE's statements during the Senate hearing were fabricated and tainted with ill motives. P/SUPT CAMPOS emphasized that he was already attending school at the Philippine Public Safety College (PPSC) during the period being alluded to by ROSALE. Further, P/SUPT CAMPOS said that SPO2 ROSALE's statements are questionable since he previously recommended PO1 FRANCIS DURAN's dismissal from the police service after PO1 DURAN's arrest by police Sometime in August 1998. The recommendation was later approved by P/DIR ACOP. There is also strong suspicion on the circumstances surrounding SPO2 ROSALE's statements in the Senate after he affirmed receiving pressure from Bombo Radyo. It is also highly suspected that SPO2 ROSALE was pressured by pro-administration politicians in Region 6 (SPO2 ROSALE is a native of Region 6) to appear in the Senate hearings despite the absence of any formal complaint against him. True enough, SPO2 ROSALE's testimony contains conflicting details and inconsistencies when compared to previous testimonies given by REMUS GARGANERA and MARY ONG. For instance, MARY ONG claims that drug profits were transacted at P/SUPT CAMPOS' school gym, while GARGANERA claims the transactions occurred at P/SUPT CAMPOS's office in Camp Crame, where he even claimed to have spent sleepless nights counting money. However, SPO2 ROSALE claims he never transacted in any of the places mentioned, he alleged that he transacted with P/SUPT CAMPOS only in various hotels. P/SUPT CAMPOS was undergoing full-time academic schooling since July 1998, and was even required to stay within school premises for his Public Safety Officers' Senior Executive Course (PS-OSEC). P/SUPT CAMPOS only recently graduated from his Master in Public Safety Administration (MPSA) studies last March 2001. Thus, it is impossible for P/SUPT CAMPOS to be assigned with PAOCTF while he was on full time schooling. After P/SUPT CAMPOS' graduation from MPSA last March 2001, he was even given a commendation letter by Police Director General LEANDRO MENDOZA, PNP Chief, for graduating at the top of his class. P/SUPT CAMPOS never even assumed any position during the Estrada Administration, hence common sense dictates that it is impossible for him to divide his body, schooling on one and being operative on the other.
The circumstances on the allegations of Drug Trafficking, Kidnap- for-Ransom, Murder, and Wiretapping against P/SUPT CAMPOS et. al., centers on the fact that MARY ONG FILED THE SAME CASES, WHILE SUBMITTING THREE (3) DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF HER SWORN AFFIDAVIT, ONE AT THE OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSMAN ON 08 JANUARY 2001, ANOTHER AT THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE (DOJ) ON 04 MAY 2001, AND THE LAST AT THE NATIONAL POLICE COMMISSION. There is a forum shopping of cases which contains conflicting sets of accused, conflicting identities of victims, conflicting identities of complainants, conflicting narration of events, and the gross absence of evidence. Moreover, all testimonies point to MARY ONG as the prime and principal suspect. MARY ONG is the Prime Suspect. All the alleged victim's relatives sworn statements point to MARY ONG as the principal suspect. It is alleged that MARY ONG communicated with the relatives, MARY ONG demanded ransom, MARY ONG threatened the relatives on the victims' lives, MARY ONG gave her bank account for ransom deposit, MARY ONG received the ransom money, and one alleged kidnap victim identified MARY ONG as his kidnapper. The Ombudsman, ANIANO DESIERTO also declared in a media interview regarding MARY ONG's "unusual" complaint, mainly because not one evidence was submitted in court in support of her allegations. Ombudsman DESIERTO further declared that the case would not prosper based solely on MARY ONG's testimony. Upholding the rule of corpus delicti, it is impossible for MARY ONG to accuse P/SUPT CAMPOS of murder in the absence of victims' bodies. Similarly, it is also impossible for MARY ONG to accuse P/SUPT CAMPOS of kidnap-for-ransom based on the alleged relatives' Sworn Statements given to the NBI. The Sworn Statements in fact, reveal MARY ONG as the only principal and prime suspect.
There is also strong evidence of a wild "witch-hunt" expedition since the different versions (Ombudsman and DOJ) of the case also has two (2) sets of suspects, who are all allegedly PAOCTF members. This automatically rules out the element of conspiracy as earlier claimed. > The truth of the matter is that neither of the persons accused had ever been PAOCTF members except for SEN. LACSON and Police Senior Superintendent MICHAEL RAY AQUINO. Some of the persons accused are not even police officers. MARY ONG has also gone as far as having a Chinese Triad Member and a convicted felon in Hong Kong to pose as a "witness" in the cases she filed against P/SUPT CAMPOS. The Hong Kong Police has an official report regarding this information. It is not difficult to point out that there is gross difference on the identity of persons accused, a gross difference on the identity of the victims, a gross difference on the identity of the relatives, and a gross difference on the turn of events. All these gross differences are compounding factors in establishing the incredibility of the narratives. There are Conflicting Sets of Complaints. There are two sets of complaints filed by the alleged victims' relatives, one at the Chinese Embassy on 27 January 2000 where they identified MARY ONG as the prime suspect, and another complaint on 03 May 2001 (shortly before senate elections) which the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) now implicates SEN. LACSON as the prime suspect. There seems to be a degree of connivance between the NBI, MARY ONG and the alleged victims' relatives judging from the suspicious nature of their complaints. Each part of the conspiracy stands gain significantly in this endeavor. For the NBI, it is strictly a political matter. MARY ONG on one hand gains the protection she needs against Chinese Triad threats and possible reprieve from her enormous debt. Lastly, the victims' relatives are in a position to acquire monetary gains. The missing persons' conjugal and/or joint assets are held from their heirs unless there exists a definitive proof of their deaths. It is unfortunate that the truth regarding these very serious issues may be jeopardized by the conspirators' pursuit of their own interests.
One of MARY ONG's motives in engaging the public with her fantastic exposes, is to permanently avoid if not exonerate her from the estafa case on the Philippine National Police Narcotics Group's (PNP NARGROUP) show money amounting to Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Pesos (P 4.5 Million). P/DIR ACOP had been consistently following up MARY ONG on the return of the show money after no drug shipment intended the project pushed through. However, MARY ONG argued that she was unable to return the said the amount immediately since it was deposited in her mother's bank account in Hong Kong. After being cornered and trapped by P/DIR ACOP and ascertaining that she had indeed run away with the show money, MARY ONG turned on her ire against the PNP NARGROUP police officers. Police Informant Swap Agreement In an informant swap agreement between the PNP NARGROUP and the HKP Narcotics Bureau (HKP-NB), P/SUPT CAMPOS was tasked to act as MARY ONG's Agent Handler in the Philippines, (MARY ONG also worked as an informant for HKP-NB), while another Hong Kong Police Agent Handler was assigned with P/SUPT CAMPOS' other informant in Hong Kong. The drug law enforcers agreed on a cover story for P/SUPT CAMPOS and informant MARY ONG to pose as a "couple" during their intelligence operations against the Chinese Triad. However, MARY ONG later pushed her cover as P/SUPT CAMPOS' girlfriend seriously. She demonstrated romantic overtures towards P/SUPT CAMPOS, and she felt bitter after he later refused her advances. Consequently, a scorned MARY ONG threatened P/SUPT CAMPOS' to malign his reputation and vowed to destroy his police career by implicating him in various criminal activities. Moreover, P/SUPT CAMPOS had various complaints against MARY ONG which were: 1) stalking activities - by terrorizing his family members, including his niece. 2) P/SUPT CAMPOS' family members are distraught over death threats and obscene text messages sent by MARY ONG which prompted them to change their phone numbers regularly to avoid further harassment. P/SUPT CAMPOS further disclosed that MARY ONG went as far as breaking into his residence and destroying the front windows and wire- screens. The said incident was witnessed by his neighbors and further damage was prevented upon the timely arrival of the homeowners' security personnel. After MARY ONG's bungled attempts to force her way into P/SUPT CAMPOS' residence, she later stated in a media conference that P/SUPT CAMPOS' residence was being used as a "safehouse" for kidnap victims. P/SUPT CAMPOS' reputation as an officer and a gentleman has already been severely maligned by MARY ONG's bitter persistence to exact personal vengeance at the expense of the government. MARY ONG has gone so low as to narrate her supposed sexual trysts with P/SUPT CAMPOS in a leading tabloid publication. Surely this is already far beyond the realm of national security and national interest. No decent person in her right mind and mental state would ever do such a loathsome act. MARY ONG has likewise accused P/SUPT CAMPOS' close friends and fellow police officers of the same criminal offense and included some of them in her charges filed with the Ombudsman and the dOJ. In one event, MARY ONG implicated ANDY DE LOS REYES, a close friend and former classmate of P/SUPT CAMPOS at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA), accusing him of being involved in drug trafficking and kidnap-for-ransom activities. Mr. DE LOS REYES used to work with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) before he was forced out of his office based on MARY ONG's allegations against him. Apparently, MARY ONG along with her political supporters induced pressure on Mr. DE LOS REYES and the PAGCOR leadership to corroborate her claims. Mr. DE LOS REYES' continued employment with PAGCOR (which he served for twelve years) was used as a leverage to encourage his cooperation with MARY ONG. Mr. DE LOS REYES resisted the blackmail attempts and was consequently forced out of PAGCOR.
As of late, there are four (4) main figures supporting MARY ONG's allegations of heinous crimes against SEN. LACSON. These are Police Senior Superintendent REYNALDO BERROYA, P/DDGEN LASTIMOSO, DIR. WYCOCO, and COL. CORPUS. The common denominator among these personalities is that they either have an axe to grind against SEN. LACSON, and/or they significantly benefit from this political endeavor. MARY ONG and P/SSUPT BERROYA's mutual partnership goes a long way back in September 1992, after MARY ONG was arrested for trafficking Thirty (30) kilograms of Shabu through air parcel delivery. The criminal case filed against her at Pasay City, Manila was dismissed after one of the prosecution's witness police officer ELMER PUEDA and his lawyer were killed at Magallanes Shopping Center by P/SSUPT BERROYA, then head of the PACC's Task Force Lawin, in connivance with MARY ONG. Meanwhile, it is common knowledge that P/SSUPT BERROYA bears a heavy grudge against SEN. LACSON who was mainly responsible for his arrest on the kidnap-for-ransom case of JACK CHOU. MARY ONG was introduced to former PNP Chief, Police Deputy Director General ROBERTO LASTIMOSO, through enterprising news reporters. P/DDGEN LASTIMOSO has an axe to grind against SEN. LACSON, after he suspected the latter of orchestrating his ouster from office. The ouster of P/DDGEN LASTIMOSO as PNP Chief came after Senate hearings were held on illegal drug protection charges filed against him. This time, MARY ONG recently linked all P/DDGEN LASTIMOSO previous detractors with the Chinese Triad and drug trafficking activities. These are namely: SEN. LACSON, Police Director REYNALDO ACOP, Police Chief Superintendent REYNOR GONZALES, Police Superintendent FRANCISCO VILLAROMAN, and P/SUPT CAMPOS. In the case of COL. CORPUS, it is widely believed that the ISAFP Chief is directed by higher authorities to conduct and sustain a campaign of political harassment against SEN. LACSON. MARY ONG on the other hand, enjoys the protection provided to her by the ISAFP after receiving death threats from some Chinese Triad groups whom her Triad group victimized with kidnap-for-ransom. She was forced to seek the refuge under COL. CORPUS upon the neutralization of her Triad Boss SHANGHAI CHUA by police authorities. MARY ONG is also receiving extreme criticism from the PNP after she posed as a "double-agent" between the PNP and Chinese Triad, and engaged in illicit drug trafficking in the process. DIR. WYCOCO's predicament is similar to COL. CORPUS, both officials are widely believed to be directed by higher authorities to sustain a campaign of political harassment against SEN. LACSON. Further, MARY ONG benefits from her arrangement with the NBI by earning a reprieve from her numerous multi-million Estafa cases. The largest of which amounts to $ 200,000 USD which she defrauded from AMERICAN EXPRESS INC. The criminal case and arrest warrant is reportedly being held by the NBI.
The financial and credit card industry reveals that MARY ONG is involved in a multi-million peso credit card fraud, and using the names "MARY GABA" and "MARY ONG GABA". Several fraud cases were filed against her and arrest warrants were also issued against her by Equitable Citibank Corp., Diners Club International, and American Express Card - the latter, which she reportedly did the biggest heist. American Express lawyers from Singapore came to Manila to run after her and sent her arrest warrants to hired legal companies for a manhunt. Aside from financial fraud, MARY ONG is also known to operate and control gambling operations in the Chinatown area and in other parts of Manila. Drug Trafficking Lately, it was confirmed that MARY ONG is a member of the Chinese Triad operating both in Hong Kong and in the country. Her alleged role as police "informant" is merely part of her syndicate's modus operandi of modified "Estafa" - or to avoid paying for the drug shipments sent to her by other Chinese drug lords by having them arrested while she runs away with the illegal drugs. MARY ONG and her cohorts also use this "double-cross" scheme, to rid their Illegal Gambling and Illegal Drug Trafficking activities of so- called "bad accounts". It was disclosed that MARY ONG "informed" to police authorities on her crime associates who fail to remit proceeds from drug trafficking or illegal gambling operations. MARY ONG's syndicate is also involved in the previous disappearance of, some of whom were witnesses in drug trafficking cases filed against her. This leads some people to suspect that witnesses on criminal cases against MARY ONG may have been deliberately abducted in order to earn her a court dismissal or a favorable verdict through the absence of incriminating testimony. P/DIR ACOP eventually dropped MARY ONG's contract with NARGROUP as a result of her covert and scheming drug trafficking activities, and her use of the agent's contract in criminal activities. Kidnap-for-Ransom / Murder MARY ONG's sworn statement which she submitted to the DOJ now seems to be the strongest evidence supporting the existence of a Triad war between Mainland China and Philippine groups. The document also reveal that MARY ONG is a member of Triad Boss SHANGHAI CHUA's group whose primary role is to secure the ransom money from their victims. Likewise, MARY ONG stated in her affidavit that SHANGHAI CHUA was responsible for kidnapping other Chinese Triad members and their murder as well, after they failed to pay their debt of $ 60 Million HKD. IT SEEMS THAT KIDNAP-FOR-RANSOM IS A PENALTY CHARGED BY SHANGHAI CHUA FOR ROGUE ACCOUNTS IN HIS DRUG TRADE, WITH MARY ONG IS THE GROUP'S LEAD NEGOTIATOR. MARY ONG's motives for her alleged exposé cuts like a double- bladed knife. On one side, in the spirit of self-preservation, she conjured an intricate story of police conspiracy in her crime group's kidnapping activities to avoid being targeted by rival Chinese Triad hitmen. The other side enables her to earn money from certain political corners by launching a smear campaign against certain personalities. There are countless documentary evidences (Estafa, Credit & Financial Fraud cases) and personal testimonies to ascertain MARY ONG's capability to grossly deceive, grossly fabricate, and grossly lie for the sake of profit. Likewise, the same evidences show MARY ONG to be deeply involved in a life of crime ranging from credit fraud, illegal gambling, smuggling, drug trafficking, murder, and very recently - kidnap-for-ransom. MARY ONG has also been involved in these crimes ever since she left college, for about 3 decades now. After we consider the kind of life and associations that MARY ONG keeps. It could be highly possible that the crimes narrated by MARY ONG are her own deeds, which she simply projected unto SEN. LACSON. This also explains why she can tell the turn-of-events of her own tale with utmost confidence, and yet stumble into INCONSISTENCIES when narrating SEN. LACSON's and other police officers' involvement. MARY ONG's Extent of Involvement in PNP Anti-Drug Intelligence Operations: In 1998, MARY ONG was assessed to be a potentially effective agent in view of the mission and objectives of Operation Plan "ATHENA" (OPLAN ATHENA), which is an anti-narcotics intelligence operation against the Chinese Triad. She was recruited by PNP NARGROUP to penetrate the higher echelons of the Chinese Triad organization and obtain information on its personalities and activities. She was later given the codename "ROSEBUD". Suspicions arose among her handlers regarding the other motives of MARY ONG after she was arrested by NBI agents led by Agent MARTIN SORIANO for drug trafficking. At this point, OPLAN ATHENA was also in a critical period of its operation after the neutralization of Chinese Triad leader named WANG. OPLAN ATHENA proceeded with utilizing ROSEBUD despite her actuations, but with extreme caution because she was already suspected to be a "double agent". Likewise, P/SUPT CAMPOS recommended her termination after receiving information regarding her covert drug trafficking activities. Upon the termination of OPLAN ATHENA, there was no OPLAN ATHENA 2 implemented contrary to MARY ONG's claims. This imaginary operation along with the horde of criminal activities allegedly committed by police officers is merely MARY ONG's fabrication. Her statements on the alleged events that transpired on the certain dates are easily refuted with numerous factual documentary evidences. It is suspected that the tales she narrated in great detail are all her own doing considering that all the events happened after her termination as an informant. A subsequent intelligence operation dubbed as OPLAN CYCLOPS, believed that an invaluable amount of intelligence information may be gathered through the conduct of a parallel surveillance on MARY ONG, who was then strongly suspected as a "double agent". Thus, ROSEBUD was again recruited into OPLAN CYCLOPS and deliberately fed with a cover story of arranging a drug shipment with Hong Kong-based Chinese Triads. Other international jurisdictions involved in OPLAN CYCLOPS were informed of the intelligence operation, as well as, MARY ONG's role in the operations. The drug law enforcers knew that MARY ONG would try to establish her own drug pipeline. In simple terms, MARY ONG was used as a "bloodhound". On February 03 1999, ROSEBUD arrived in Hong Kong without informing her OPLAN CYCLOPS handlers. Hong Kong Police alerted OPLAN CYCLOPS regarding her unexpected arrival and monitored her activities during her stay in their jurisdiction. Moreover, Hong Kong Police surveillance team was able to record a telephone conversation between MARY ONG and OPLAN CYCLOPS target AH-TAU, one of the Chinese Triads big bosses. As expected, the unauthorized activities of MARY ONG indicated her attempt to establish her own covert drug pipeline. The Hong Kong Police prepared a report and attached a transcription of her phone conversation with AH-TAU. Hong Kong Police then furnished OPLAN CYCLOPS with a copy of the report. The discreet parallel surveillance conducted on MARY ONG provided a wealth of intelligence information on the personalities and activities of the Chinese Triad, which MARY ONG excluded in all her debriefings. On 31 March 1999, a Chinese Triad linkage diagram was finally generated in cooperation with the other international police agencies. It was also at this point that another informant was considered for recruitment to neutralize the identified Chinese Triad big bosses. Meanwhile, OPLAN CYCLOPS had already systematically compartmentalized MARY ONG to avoid jeopardizing the actual intelligence operations. MARY ONG narrated her ill-sentiments regarding her systematic exclusion from police intelligence operations during one of the senate hearings. At this point, Senator RALPH RECTO interjected his assessment that MARY ONG's reason for narrating all the "criminal" issues against PAOCTF members and other police officers was merely based on a "fall out" with the PNPs termination MARY ONG's contract. Consequently, MARY ONG also faced losing her informant's fee and commissions as a result of her contract's termination. SEN. RECTO further stated that the above circumstance is MARY ONG's only basis to accuse PAOCTF being involved in drug trafficking operations in the country. In the closing of the Senate hearing, SENATOR JOKER ARROYO and SENATOR ROBERT BARBERS chided MARY ONG for involving P/SUPT CAMPOS in her allegations, when it was clear in her manifestations that she only served her personal motives, which bore no relation to proving the existence of either narco-politics, drug-trafficking, and/or kidnap-for-ransom activities of SEN. LACSON or PAOCTF. Further, the senators closed their investigation on the case after MARY ONG, ISAFP, NBI, and the DOJ failed to provide any evidence to support their accusations against P/SUPT CAMPOS et. al. MARY ONG faces the grim reality of being liquidated by Chinese Triad rival groups after several witnesses pointed to her as the prime suspect in the disappearance of several Chinese Triad members. She was identified by the Triad as a police informant and tipping off drug shipments of rival Triad groups. Likewise, MARY ONG is vulnerable to a Triad "hit" after the neutralization of her reported protector and Triad boss, SHANGHAI CHUA. MARY ONG's risks to life is further raised with her impending arrest warrants and court conviction from multi-million Estafa cases filed by numerous persons and financial credit institutions. Literally and figuratively, MARY ONG has already signed her death certificate. It is for these very serious and life-threatening reasons that she has sought the protection of the ISAFP to avoid the Chinese Triad "hit squads". Moreover, she gets paid for being exploited by political groups to launch propaganda activities against SEN. LACSON et. al. Recently, several local news articles published moves by MARY ONG to re-open some of Chinese Triad members' court cases. It was also noted that these persons were already convicted with life or death sentences. MARY ONG's ultimate scheme here is to earn cash in exchange for her testimony against the arresting police officers. In this way, the Chinese Triad drug lords hope to pressure the court's to overturn their decisions by employing political blackmail > through MARY ONG. Soon, these arrested drug traffickers will be back in the streets again selling drugs, with MARY ONG to thank for.
P/SUPT CAMPOS is a well-decorated police officer. He was responsible for two of the PNP's largest drug seizures, namely: 91 kilograms of "ice" in 1995 and 140 kilograms of "ice" in 1996. These accomplishments earned him consecutive rank promotions. P/SUPT CAMPOS was also responsible for some of the PNP's most significant heroin and marijuana seizures, in cooperation with various international drug law enforcement agencies such as the US Drug Enforcement Administration (US DEA), Australian Federal Police (AFP), UK Customs and Excise Office, The Netherlands Police, German Police, Hong Kong Police (HKP), and the Macau Judiciary Police. P/SUPT CAMPOS also worked with US DEA agents and busted a big time West Nigerian syndicate involved in heroin trafficking from Asia's Golden Triangle into the US, using the Philippines as a transshipment point. One of his accomplishments was also made in cooperation with the Netherlands Police and the US DEA in arresting a big time drug syndicate involving an ex-US servicemen engaged in multi-ton marijuana trafficking from the Philippines to the US and European Union. P/SUPT CAMPOS is also the recipient of the "International Award of Honor" from International Narcotics Enforcement Officers Association (INEOA) in New York City for his exemplary performance of duty, incorruptibility, and significant accomplishments in drug law enforcement. The US DEA Manila Office, and former Country Attache WILLIAM C BISH nominated P/SUPT CAMPOS for the distinguished INEOA award.
