MANILA, Philippines -  Anti-narcotics agents nabbed a policeman and two others during a buy-bust operation in Misamis Occidental, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) said on Tuesday.

When frisked, Amboang yielded an additional 122 pieces of plastic sachets of shabu and six more sachets of shabu  were seized from Serino.

The three suspects were brought to the PDEA RO10 Jail Facility for investigation while the pieces of drug evidence were submitted to laboratory service for forensic examination.
