The suspect were identifed as Maria Penelope Robles, 21, daughter of retired army colonel Rex Robles, who is one of the founders of Rebolusyonaryong Alyansang Makabansa, and Kris Yvette Medina, 20, daughter of a dean in an exclusive school.
They were flagged down by a police car near the corner of Estrada street in Ermita when they ignored a traffic light and almost hit another vehicle.
The officers found a plastic bag containing marijuana on the car’s floor during a routine inspection, according to Senior Inspector Wilfredo Estrella, chief of the Manila Police District’s mobile unit.
The younger Robles allegedly tried to intimidate the arresting officers by dropping her father’s name.  Nestor Etolle
