The Bliss complex was allegedly a major repacking hub for Southern Metro Manila.

It was ground zero for what would later be called the "Muntinlupa Bliss Scandal"—a sprawling saga of shabu (methamphetamine) repacking, high-level political protection, and murder. muntinlupa+bliss+scandal+part+1+repack
