Special report on Ecstacy : Alam mo ba ang pakiramdam ng naka-Ecstacy?
Our Barrio Siete entry for today is a Special Report on Ecstacy and we’re very glad with the research and work that was done by our Councilor Yami who did a lot of research and work on this. With the current sex scandal hugging the headlines where news reports have it that these characters allegedly were high on drugs and/or used some drugs, we wanted to show you and present to you the effects of this one drug that has also been linked to so many celebrities in Manila, the latest before this sex video scandal were the Alabang Boys. This was one great research work done by Yami. – La Kapitana
Ecstasy, bawal na droga
Ang mainit na usapan sa Barrio ngayon eh ang diumano’y pag-amin ni Hayden ng paggamit ng tinatawag na party drug Ecstasy. Ngayon alam ko na mga ka-barrio kung bakit parang aning-aning daw itong si Doc Mo pero hindi Doc Kho.
Ibahagi ko sa inyo itong napulot ko kwento mula sa ‘sang tambak ng clippings ko nung ako ay nasa Tunayt pa. Habang abala sila kung sino ang source ng Ecstasy, tayo naman ay magkukwento kung ano nga ba talaga ang tumatakbo sa isip ng isang taong nakagamit ng Ecstacy.
Nakilala ko ang apat na bida ng storyang ito sa loob ng Narcotics Group Drug Rehabilitation Center sa Camp R. Papa, sa Bicutan, Taguig isang araw noong 2002.
Ang grupo ni H. Bac
H. BAC (an alias) and his group of multiple-drug user friends would normally start the day with a pill or two of ecstacy (the misspelled popular term for the costly counterpart of shabu) before engaging in intense sexual orgy or group sex. As if that were yet too tame, they would heat several grams of shabu and do the poor man’s cocaine for an added ‘kick’ or a boost.
The euphoria brought by ecstacy drove H. BAC’s group, consisting of four young men and two young women, to perform the orgy almost regularly at H. BAC’s place.
But this was before the native of General Santos City was taken to the Narcotics Group Drug Rehabilitation Center at Camp R. Papa, Bicutan, Taguig, for treatment.
The 19-year-old out-of-school youth related how he enjoyed the ‘high’ that goes with using party drug Ecstacy known by its several street names – X, Rave, Love Drug, Flying Saucer, LBD “Libido”, Jagged Little Pill, Artist Drug, Hug Drug, MDA, MDEA, XTC, E, Eckie, Love Doves.
“Halos araw-araw naming ginagawa ‘yon (sex orgy). Parang pangkaraniwan na lang sa amin kapag naka-take kami ng ecstacy.
“Ang effect sa amin madali kaming magtiwala, parang mahal ko na agad ang kahit na sinong makaharap ko, ang sarap ng pakiramdam,” H.BAC said.
He indulged in group sex usually from four to five hours.
“There was never a time na nawawala ‘yung tama ng ecstacy, kasi bumabatak agad kami few hours after taking our first dose,” he said.
Everytime he used the designer drug ecstacy, he would feel very tired and his heart would beat faster.
Willie’s trip
Willie experienced a different kind of ‘high’ after taking the love drug.
The 42-year-old businessman said he is suffering from asthma so he prefers the kind of ecstacy that would calm him.
“There are more than 30 to 40 kind of ecstacy, there’s cocaine-based, marijuana-based. It can be a stimulant, it can be a depressant or it can make you move for 24 hours. Ito ‘yung sinasabi nilang reggaes or parties. It can make you dance for 24 hours. It happened to me, but I didn’t like that one. I would like the ones that would calm me,” he said.
Willie said the effects of ecstacy pill vary depending on the preferred combinations. “Para kang kumakain sa restaurant, umorder ka ng kare-kare with bagoong, or adobo with manggang hilaw. Ganyan ang ecstacy, halo-halo. Kapag gusto mo ng tamang lasing, or sexy, or tamang madaldal ka lang mayroong katapat na pill ito sa ecstacy,” he said.
Willie’s kind of ecstacy was the “snowball and SX” type that he bought in the United States. I made him feel very sensual. But he said he prefers the “rubbing or touching” kind of “trip” to sexual intercourse.
“By just touching, puwede ka ng mag-orgasm. What I prefer are simple paraphernalia like oil, lotion, mineral water and teether, kasi manggigigil ka eh. Of course. I’ll do it with a partner.
“We can reach our highest point by simply rubbing each other. Grabe ang kuryente,” Willie said as he stroke his right arm with his left hand to demonstrate the act.
After the sexual gratification, Willie would feel very week.
“When I used shabu, I get so very lonely when I reach bottom. Mamamatay ka naman sa ecstacy when you use it everyday because you get so energetic,” he said.
Some of Willie’s friends were as young as 17 and mostly girls. All of them were hooked on ecstacy.
The owner of a chain of restaurants in Metro Manila said that he gets his supply of ecstacy from friends or from bars in Libis, Quezon City.
At the time each pill costs P1,200 to about P1,500.
Leah’s dilemma
Leah (not her real name) was her parent’s pride. She was a good daughter, smart and kind.
At 16, she has the making of a future beauty queen. She is not only tall and beautiful, she’s eloquent, exudes charm and poise.
She was studying in one of the exclusive schools in Metro Manila until she got hooked on ecstacy and sleeping pills for over a year.
According to social worker Lorna Flores, Leah was raised in a peaceful environment. She had a happy childhood. But influence from friends and curiosity led her to experiment with ecstacy.
Leah reportedly got her supply from a source in a posh Village in Libis.
It was during her birthday party when she first tasted the pill. She tried it again once a week and then on a daily basis, consuming two pills every session.
When Leah was high on drugs, she would provoke her loved ones into a fight. The girl even thought of killing them afraid her parents would kill her first. The worried parents decided to send her to Bicutan before it was too late.
Maja’s urge
“Cool ang dating sa una. Parang ang ganda-ganda ko. ‘Pag inumpisahan ng partner ko feeling ko para na akong kabayo, ang horny horny ko talaga,” thus claims Maja (real name withheld), who says ecstacy transform her into a wild creature.
“Pakiramdam ko buong katawan ko may butas na pwedeng pasukan ng d… ng aking boyfriend. Minsan natapos na ang boyfriend ko pero gusto ko pa. Nag-aaway na nga kami ng boyfriend ko eh,” Maja, 20, said.
The petite and pretty lady said she even forced her boyfriend, who was a former co-patient at the Centers for the Ultimate Rehabilitation of Drug Dependents (CUREDD) in Bicutan, Taguig, to take Ecstacy so he would experience the same intense feeling she has during their intimate moments.
Both of them use shabu as an added kick or to boost the high of Ecstacy. To alleviate her thirst for extreme sex, she would use sex gadgets or toys.
Maja only stopped using Ecstacy after two years. She ended up in a hospital because of heart palpitation.
Meanwhile, the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) said Ecstacy causes permanent damage to the brain like insanity and death.
A note from La Kapitan:
For more readings: As “shabu” price rises, Ecstasy use up by Ellen Tordesillas:
The price of shabu has doubled to between P8,000 and P10,000 per gram since law enforcers dismantled several “mega-laboratories” in 2006 and 2007. But government successes in curbing shabu production have been offset by another problem: Users are now turning to the amphetamine-type stimulant Ecstasy, which sells for P750 to P800 per tablet, and cocaine, which sells for P2,500 per gram, the kinds of drugs that were seized from “Alabang Boys” Richard Brodett, Jorge Joseph and Joseph Ramirez Tecson by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in a drug-bust operation last September.

Lol bluep.
Ayaw mong paramihin ang lahi mo? haha…
Bluep,
Kung anu-anong concoctions ang tinitake makamit lang ang ‘high’ na gusto nila.
Silver,
Mas malala na ngayon ang distribution ng party drug na ito sa mga well to do.
hahaha! di pla efective! mag re redbull na lang ako! hahaha. yw ko syumaket ang ake yulo!
Kelan pa kaya sila gagalaw? Wala ba silang natututunan sa nangyayari sa Mexico??? Or wait pa nating maging battleground ecstatika ang manila?
Here’s an article I read dun sa site ni Ellen Tordesillas (the link is on the entry at the very bottom) about what’s going on in Mexico and it says:
Here’s the link to this story: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/nation/youth/01/18/09/mexico-narco-junior-teenagers-kill-drug-rivals
Mudra,
Baka kalaunan e magbackyard raising na ng marijuana at coca dito kung di pa masolusyonan yan. Hahha.. marijuana sa paso. lols.
Sa benguet yata ang pinakamalaking plantation ng marijuana. bakit hindi nila ito masugpo!
I know, di ba nga, eto pang mga bayaran na we’ve been reading all these bayaran sa Dept of Justice about the Alabang Boys na natabunan na lang uli ang issue na yon sa dami nang problema naten.
Then, we also read so much about the ecstacy dun sa isang bar sa Global City – I forgot the name of the bar! Hahaha! Ano baaa!
Paano nga po Reynz, including mga known figures and, i think a daughter of a diplomat is hooked on this drug.
Actually ang nasa forefront noon ang mga nasa police beat, Crame or PNP and DND beats as far as covering the arrest of drug users/distributors.
Nasa features ako, sa likod ng mga istorya, nagbibigay ng mukha sa mga gumagamit…mukha ng mga naging biktima.
Re feature cross over to investigative report. Pede rin. I’ve done Internet Porn dati, halos isinubo na sa aking and detalye, comprehensive interview ang galing ng source, kaya maganda kinalabasan. Sa totoo lang, kung natanong mo ako nung mga time na ‘yon sariwa pa ang experience. It was a long time ago, kinalawang na ‘yata ako.
May mga certain stories na kaya mo namang panindigan (coming from police sources) for as long as hindi ka iiwan sa ere ng source mo. Mabuti naman wala akong ganung dilemma in the past kasi di me nagtagal sa police beat. Pero exciting sa police beat.
o, di bat yan din ang sinasabing ikinamatay nung ex ni claudine barreto? binugahan nalang kagad ng fire extinguisher para dina kumalat pa ang apoy este balita
Mahihirapan talaga sila to go after this protector or the distributor.
EMBASSY!!! na-alala ko ang mga cheezmaks na yan! Am I right?! wasn’t that embassy name na-cheezemaks with all the eeekstaci??
Talamak pala talaga ang lugar na ito Reynz hindi lang sa madalas na merong mag-away na artista. No wonder kaya maiinit ang dugo na mga pumupunta dito, hehe
sa blog ni tita ellen tordesillas, i read a lot about this figures hooked into these drugs, pero wala masyadong “activity” of like arrests or anything.
here’s one i read before:
Here’s the link:http://www.ellentordesillas.com/?p=4318
grabe tlaga! (iling iling)
Punta na lang tayo ng antartica. Lalayas na ako ng pinas. lols.
And here’s another story, a gruesome story:
Here’s the link: http://www.ellentordesillas.com/?p=4272
pareng silver sabi nga ni mader hanap daw ako ng pwede nyang matirhan pero gusto nya sa “mars” wehehehe
.
merong tsismis na isainb cabinet member daw ay may bisyo sa gamot.
ang alam ko isang anak ng isa sa pinakamayaman ng bansa ang lulong sa drugs noon hanggang nasa pinakamataas na siyang puwesto sa kanilang malaking kumpanya.
WHOAH! hahaha! that’s reallly interesting!
until now Mam Cat? Di naman nakakataka kasi ang mayayaman lang ang may access sa party drug na ito.
Mam Cat, pengeng clue, hehe
meron niyan sa SF na ang reason ay for medicinal purpose.
matindi ang debate dyan sa tate about the legalization of maryjane.
eh sa mountain province merong fields may tanim na cannabis. hehehe.
nabuhay si manay! welcome back! igno ako sa cannabis hehehe! i guess parehas to sa south america na high altitude and they use this as gamot?
OT: balita ko pa nga sa bolivia e naliligo sila ng coke dun dahil kapos sa tubig.
nagkandatunaw na ang glaciers dun kaya ala na sila source ng tubeg.
~konek?~
Pero sa columbia, talamak ang droga talaga.
reynz kakarating ko lang this morning. lumipad ako puntang manila nung saturday…balik this morning. yung cannabis eh marijuana. matindi rin syang pain reliever (yung extract nito) kaya merong gustong gamitin yan sa pain management. like sa mga cancer patients. i think hindi lahat ng states dyan sa inyo eh approve na ilegalize ang use of cannabinoids sa pain management.
pasensya ka na glo, alam mo naman sa barrio hanggang kortal lang, ewan ko kung dinaanan mo yan kasi paracetamol na pala hehehe
Ms. Glo, naalala ko may sad na kwento ng isang nanay sa Correctional Institution for Women (CIW) sa Manduluyong. Native ng mountain province, di alam na bawal ang marijuana. Ipinakidala lang sa kanya papunta yata ng Manila (forgot the details). Ayun nagdudusa siya sa kulungan. Namatayan ng dalawang anak ng di man lang niya nasilayan.
Wrong spelling ako…Colombia pala.
Malake ang problema ng Colombia sa drugs…
Uyyy! pina-alala mo ang boylet ko sa Bogota hahaha! I spent a week of vacation sa Bogota in the 90′s, visit ko ang mahal ko and this was during the time na buhay pa ang lecheng Escobar taz pinagtawanan ako sa opis why i was flying to Bogota hahaha!
alam mo ba? for all those days na nag-stay ako sa Bogota, wala naman akong nakitang bakbakan nun and i had a great time roaming around the countryside wid my labey daveey hehehe *hikbi* asan na kaya sya ngayon?! kung kelan ako nakaharbat nang mr. colombia, tsaka naman *hindi tugma ang panahon* waaa!
Reynz, sayang naman po ‘yung boylet. Sino kamukha niyang artista.
eeekkk!misconceived! hahaha! hindi sya *mr colombia* per se! haha pag nabasa to ni chuva chienes yari na naman ako sa mga malulufet na panlalait hehehe! *mr sya na colombiano haha
kamuka lang naman sya ni Pyolo Askal hahaha!
eeeek, tama si bluep, ang hirap mging parent kung ganito ang environment. sus ginoo, get high on something else dapat!
Dinah, ang mga kids kapag elementary medyo kaya pa nating marendahan, pero kapag naghiskul na my sarili na silang lakad. Sana lang hindi sila makalimot sa mga pangaral at hindi maligaw ng landas.
nung sumisikat ang ecstasy nung college ako naabutan ko pa yan pero hindi sya ganung ka bigdeal noon kasi di pa lantaran at parang ang tingin namen magbabarkada ay parang pang palakas loob lang lalo na kapag sa gimikan kasi ang feeling talaga magaan at lahat nakakagaangan mo ng loob pero yung i abuse mo at malaman mo yung side effect na masama pala, ibang usapan na yun. sa tingin ko nasa tao yan how to handle. control lang. siguro dahil curious ako/ikaw tikman mo pero pag inabuso at inulit masama na.
Dencios,
Sana lahat ng kabataan na tumikim ng kahit anong droga ay malakas ang self-control…
“sa tingin ko nasa tao yan how to handle. control lang. siguro dahil curious ako/ikaw tikman mo pero pag inabuso at inulit masama na.”
totoo ba tlaga yn bluep? sprite and halls? pd ba khit anong mint cndy? try ko kya! pra 24 hours akong gising! pd mg work till i drop! hahaha!
KIDS! JUST SAY… No To Drugs. Period.
Darbs, I want to stay positive, pero kapag malakas ang influence ng peers at mahina ang bata, baka ma-lure lang sila to try and get hook later on.
The keywords – - Peer pressure. Oh boy! then… Amen to that.
It is easier for me to say No To Drugs because the school has a strong drug policy implementation. Beside, as far as I am concerned, we are in a nice neighborhood… but what if we are in a GHETTO.
Ghetto is the terminology we used in New York to describe “Public Housing” where crimes are usually high – - and drugs are available.
Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto
In this case, if i could not change others then, I will concentrate on my kid – - keep the kiddo busy…sports… music… church activities(ehem)… love… lots and lots of love…
Hey, parents! JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS!
Bluep,
tama ka. Mas maganda kapag may example kaya ang ginagawa ko kinukwento ko sa kanila ang buhay ng mga batang nakita ko sa rehab at sa iba pang half-way house pati na rin sa New Bilibid Prison, mga batang nalulong sa droga at kapariwaraan ang kinahantungan.
Darbs,
“In this case, if i could not change others then, I will concentrate on my kid – – keep the kiddo busy…sports… music… church activities(ehem)… love… lots and lots of love…” — Agree ako dito!
pangalan nila may avenue.
Ay, hindi ko mahulaan. Nagsisimula ba ito sa M? Ngek! tama ba?
WAAAAAAAAAA!!! Yong katapat nang REYNA ELENA AVENUE?! I can’t believe it! HAHAHA!
gusto ko rin masubukan yan, ng malaman ko talaga at para may maikwento rin ako sa mga magiging apo ko
Orphicpixel,
Paano mo pa maikukuwento ang magiging experience mo, kasi ang alam ko sa Ecstacy nakakapraning, worse nakakapagadali pa ng buhay. Wag na lang.
Juice ko. Huwag na kayong sumubok. Sabi nga ni Jennifer Hudson, No No No No Way!
daz right! AKO na lang ang subukan nyo! Tyak! HIGH agad kayo hehehe! yong iba nga dyan iba-blog lang ako para magka HIGH TRAFFIC hahahaha
Dumadami na kasi ang nahuhumaling sa’yo. Nabibighani sila sa kariktan mo, Reynz. Tingnan mo si Silver…
“Ako, I admit that I AM AN ADDICT…
ng Reyna Elena…”
Silver, sinosolo mo naman eh. Nag-usap na tayo ‘di ba. (Joke).
Kapag may EB ang Barrio, sama niyo ako ha?
Bwahahah… Oo nga pala Yami. Nagusap na pala tayo sa hatian kay Reyna.
Hahah.. sureness yami…hahhaha…
HUH?! pinag-hahatian na naman ako?! waaa!!! Asan si Dencios?! DENCIOOO!!! CRISPINN!!!!
Di kaya magkaroon ng matinding information drive about these drugs?
Ano ang ginagawa ng Dangerous Drugs Board?
Ano ang ginagawa ng PDEA?
Ano ang ginagawa ng Department of Justice?
Susginoo.
Ako, I admit that I AM AN ADDICT…
ng Reyna Elena…
ng Barrio Siete…
ng paginom ng kape…
ng pagblog…
ng graveyard shift..
ng pagtulog na tiwarik sa kisame na mala-paniki…
Try nyo lifestyle ko, mas nakakahigh pa sa ecstasy. Hehe.
I agree but can you include, jogging, running, set-up, 200 push ups…in other words exercise and eat healthy food.
Darbs,
jogger’s high ang sinasabi mo. hahaha.
pero totoo yan, nakakahigh din ang jogging..haha
Silver,
hahaha! Ang problema lang kasi panandaliang high lang ang jogging effect. besides may problema na naman kung addicted ka na naman sa exercise na yan dahil may bawal na gamot din para dyan di ba?
Ito na naman po tayo sa “the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs” hahaha! walang katapusan itong bawal na gamot na ito.
Ang gulo ng mundo dahil ito kasing “BAWAL” ewan ko ba parang masarap din kasi. hahaha!
Yep, Storks nga yun bluep.
Natatandaan ko nung nakatira pa ako sa Malate around 2000 – 2004. May isang bar sa Malate na nagbebenta ng ecstacy. P1,200 may kasama nang mineral water na. Ito yung pill na kahit 24 hours ka sayaw eh ok lang. Dami sa mga nagsasayaw sa bar na ito eh nakatutok sa aircon tapos inom palagi mineral water.
Nagtataka ako nung dahil di ko maintindihan trip ng mga bata pero nung medyo naging ka close ko na isang bar tender eh sinabi nya sa akin.
Baket daw Rob? Anong trip talaga ng mga bata? Hehe.
Ganun daw kasi effect nun. Parang super active sila kaya sayaw sila ng sayaw pero madali mauhaw at mainitan.
Ay ganun ba?
Buti na lang at ADHD lang ang sa akin. Hehe.
wahaha my adhd ka rin pare?
good one yami! di ko alam na ganito pala ang ecstasy! thanks sa research mo yami… now i know.
Thanks, Reesie!
“good one yami! di ko alam na ganito pala ang ecstasy! thanks sa research mo yami… now i know”.
Ganoon ba kamahal iyon 1,200 to 1,500. Isang tirahan lang iyon that will last for few hours ba?. So, kapag isang politician ay may anak na adik tapos siya adik rin at araw-araw silang gumagamit, ang cost isang buwan ay (2 X 1500 X 30) = 90,000 per month. May rason pala sila para ubusin ang kaban ng bayan at kaya pala ganoon katindi si Dr. Kho at hindi maiwan ni Tita Vicky Belo.
Buti pa ako ok bilang coffee addict. Nescafe o blend 45 solve na me.
ewan ko diko talaga na try yang mga yan isa lang talaga ang na try ko na talagang nakasira ng pagiisip ko at ang payo ko wag na wag nyo kong gayahin—
buti nalang bago ako ma rehab e naihinto ko na ang pag gamit at pag singhot—
ang pagsinghot ng “katol” ang pinakamalaking bangungot na sumira ng aking pag iisip.
Lee, natawa naman ako sa’yo dito.
“ang pagsinghot ng “katol” ang pinakamalaking bangungot na sumira ng aking pag iisip.”
anong component ba meron ang katol? Sinakyan talaga. hehe
wahahaha. dami ding talampunay sa amin. yun matindi yun. yung kapitbahay namin sa timbuktu, nagtalampunay, grabe, tamang siraulo.. andun sya sa bintana at namimingwit ng isda, tapos namamana sya ng tao, akala nya manok.
yung sprite, oo, stork na dinikdik. wahahah!
o kaya, albatross. wahahah!
haynaku, wenkubeh yang mga bagets ngayon kung bakit kelangan pa ng ecstasy ecstasy na yan… dinikdik lang na dahon ng makahiya okey sa olrayt na. nyahahahah!
kung alam ko ang pakiramdam kung naka ekstasee?
I have no idea… and don’t wanna know kung ano ang pakiramdam.
Most likely heaven na naman ang description sa nararamdaman… then i don’t need that feeling anymore. NO TO DRUGS!
