Distor said that the case stemmed from an intelligence report on the alleged large-scale sale of adulterated alcohol from suspect’s shop, CreativeLab Cosmetic Products, located in Sampaloc, Manila.
According to the report, Arriola personally mixes ethyl alcohol and methanol to increase its volume. Methanol, by its nature, is highly corrosive and is a toxic substance not suitable for human consumption.
