Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 13) — Anti-narcotics operatives of the Philippine National Police (PNP) seized more than ₱251 million-worth of suspected shabu in Imus, Cavite on Saturday evening.
PNP-Drug Enforcement Group (PDEG) director Narcisco Domingo said a buy-bust operation at Happy Homes in Brgy. Buhay na Tubig led to the arrest of Datu Ali Dayo Sampulna, 38, and online seller Almira Karao Sampulna, 30, both residents of Poblacion 7, Cotabato City.
Confiscated from the two were some 37 kilograms of shabu, with an estimated street value of ₱251.6 million, or around ₱6.8 million per kilo.
