Man charged for selling shabu

CEBU, Philippines - A man was charged for violation of Section 5 of the Dangerous drugs Act before the Regional Trial Court yesterday for selling shabu to policemen last may 29.

Jasen Nuñez of Sitio Pailub, Barangay Sambag 1 was caught in the act of selling the illegal drug to police operatives during a buy bust operation.

According to PO2 Yvien Trangia, they have received information that Nuñez has been involved in illegal drug trafficking in Sambag 1 that prompted them to conduct a buy bust operation to entrap the suspect.

Trangia acted as the poseur buyer and handed Nuñez P200 in exchange for a packet of shabu. A pre-arranged signal has been made before the arrest.

Nuñez was arrested while his companion, Ramil Satimbre, who received the buy bust money eluded arrest.

The complaint was elevated to the RTC after Nuñez failed to file his counter affidavit. No bail was recommended for his temporary liberty. — Jasmin R. Uy/WAB (THE FREEMAN)
