MANILA, Philippines - Operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) arrested a 27-year-old businessman for selling 60 grams of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride, locally known as shabu, during a buy-bust operation in Tuguegarao City.
PDEA director general Arturo Cacdac Jr. identified the suspect as Greggy Cabansag, a resident of Minanga, Aparri, Cagayan.
Belated report reaching PDEA main office in Quezon City showed that last Aug. 30, around 5:30 p.m., an undercover narcotics agent met Cabansag who sold the poseur buyer shabu at No. 22 Caimito Street, Tanza, Tuguegarao City.
Upon a pre-arranged signal, other PDEA agents swooped down on the suspect after he handed-over five plastic sachets of suspected shabu weighing approximately 60 grams with an estimated street value of P180,000.
Authorities also confiscated from the suspect the buy-bust money used during the operation.
Cabansag, now detained at the PDEA Regional Office 2 jail facility, will be charged for illegal drug raps.
