He found a bag of powdery substance floating in waters off Karingalan Island in Quezon. The stuff, it turned out, was high-grade cocaine.

The fisherman, from Infanta town, decided to surrender the illegal drug, valued at about P4.8 million, even before the National Drug Law Enforcement and Prevention Coordinating Council could entrap him in a buy-bust.

The fisherman, whose identity was withheld, yielded the cocaine through a confidential agent. — Christina Mendez
