MANILA - Over a year since authorities mounted their first raid of the New Bilibid Prisons (NBP) under the Oplan Galugad, contraband items were still confiscated Tuesday from the country's largest prison facility.

The Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) found drug paraphernalia, paddles, bladed weapons, a sumpak or improvised gun and several shotgun bullets at the NBP's Building 5, Quadrant 4

An air-conditioning unit and several cellphones were also found in the area where the "Sputnik" gang is housed.

At another part of the building, the BuCor knocked down a luxurious "kubol" that resembles a two-storey barangay hall after finding DVDs and a speaker system inside.

During the 29th Oplan Galugad raid, authorities also discovered several appliances at Building 9 where the "Sputnik," "Ilocano" and "Commando" gangs keep their quarters.

The BuCor also confiscated a sugar glider - a nocturnal gliding possum - kept as a pet by the inmates.

NBP Superintendent Richard Schwarzkopf Jr. said that unlike previous raids which were limited only to several buildings, the next set of operations will comb through all nine hectares of the prison.

Schwarzkopf added that the prisoners will face penalties for the confiscated items.
