A
Filipina who was earlier charged with trafficking in one kilo of methamphetamine
(ice or shabu) was back in court today, Friday, to face a second charge of violating
her condition of stay by overstaying.
Liza D.
Soriano, 44 years old, was read the new charge when she appeared before Eastern
Principal Magistrate Ada Yim.
According
to the second charge, Soriano entered Hong Kong legally, and was permitted to remain
in Hong Kong only until Dec 2, 2021 but did not leave until her arrest for drug
trafficking on Jul 28, 2022.

Street, Sai Ying Pun, with the drug.
The
prosecution asked for more time to study the case and said they would continue
to oppose bail due to the huge amount of drugs involved.
