CEBU, Philippines -  Policemen in Bantayan town arrested two men for possession of five packs of what is suspected to be shabu in Barangay Ticad last Friday night.

One of the suspects arrested was identified as Rocky Funda, 30, of Barangay Tisa, Cebu City. He had with him two packs of suspected shabu and two empty sachets.

The other suspect was identified as Armando Andrino, 52, and a resident of the place. Confiscated from him was a pack of the illegal drugs.

Drug paraphernalia were also recovered from the suspects, PO1 George Gilbuela of Bantayan Police said.

Gilbuela said the police were conducting a saturation drive in the island last Friday night when they came across the suspect talking while sitting on a motorcycle owned by Funda around 9:30 pm.

Gibulea said the two acted suspicious which prompted the police to approach and asked questions.

The police later frisked the suspects and the illegal times were eventually confiscated from them.

A charge for possession of illegal drugs will be filed against the suspects tomorrow. The substance was brought to PNP Crime La-boratory-7 for chemical examination.

Police believe that Funda had been transporting drugs from Cebu City to Bantayan. (FREEMAN)
