PDEA seizes P6.8-M ‘shabu’ in Marawi City
COTABATO CITY — Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) operatives seized P6.8 million worth of “crystal meth,” locally known as “shabu,” from two dealers entrapped in Marawi City last weekend.
Gil Cesario P. Castro, director of the PDEA-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao, told reporters on Monday that the two men, aged 47 and 49, who yielded a kilo of “shabu” in the drug sting at a secluded area in the residential village of Saduc are set to be charged with drug trafficking.
Last April 8, PDEA-BARMM agents also seized P34 million worth of “shabu” from another drug dealer who fell in a similar buy-bust operation in Barangay Matalin in Malabang town in the second district of Lanao del Sur province. — John Felix M. Unson
