The two drug trafficking charges against a Filipina, who had been left in jail after similar charges against her co-accused were withdrawn earlier, is set to be elevated to the Court of First Instance after details of the drugs allegedly seized from her were presented at Kowloon City Court yesterday, June 24.

Alisa Tandual, 29 years old, was charged with C. Padillo, 30 years old, who walked free on Tuesday (June 23) after two separate charges against her were dropped (read the full story here: https://www.sunwebhk.com/2025/06/pinay-dh-accused-of-drug-trafficking.html).

Magistrate Philip Chan transferred Tandual’s case to the Eastern Court for committal to the High Court on Aug. 4. He also had Tandual’s rights read to her, including her right to a private lawyer or one provided by the Legal Aid for her defense.

Tandual was arrested with Padillo, a fellow domestic helper,  last Jan. 22 after two alleged instances of drug trafficking in rooms 1 and 3 of a lodging house in the first floor of 542 Canton Road, Yau Ma Tei.

Results of government laboratory tests of the dangerous drugs seized from Tandual resulted in an amended complaint presented by police to the court, listing the drugs in detail.

In all, she is charged with trafficking in nearly 2 kilos of various dangerous drugs including cocaine or ice (shabu).

In the first charge, Tandual is accused of trafficking in a plastic bag containing 1.08 grams of a solid containing .87 gram of cocaine, and another plastic bag containing 0.43 gram of cocaine, which were found in Room 1.

The second charge arose from the seizure of the following drugs from her in room 3:

  • 1 plastic bag containing 973 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride (also known as ice or shabu).
  • 1 plastic bag containing one plastic laddle and 431 grams of a crystalline solid containing 415 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride.
  • 1 plastic bag containing 49.2 grams of a mixture containing 35.8 grams of heroin hydrochloride.
  • 1 plastic bag containing 16-grams of a solid contining 108 grams of cocaine.
  • 1 plastic bag containing 201 grams of a crystalline solid containing 196 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride.
  • 1 plastic bag containing 200 grams of a crystalline solid containing 196 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride.
  • 1 plastic bag containing 28.1 grams of a crystalline solid containing 26.9 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride
Drug trafficking cases are automatically elevated to the High Court, and are punished on indictment with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and fine of up to $5,000.
