7 nabbed, P122-M shabu seized in Makati, Muntinlupa Ops

Seven drug suspects yielded over PHP122 million worth of shabu in separate anti-drug operations in the cities of Makati and Muntinlupa, the Philippine National Police (PNP) said on Tuesday.

In a report, PNP chief Gen. Debold Sinas said suspects Kemin Mansi and Abdulrahim Ysmael, both natives of Cagayan de Oro City, were arrested in a buy-bust operation conducted by the Southern Police District and local police along Kalayaan Avenue in Barangay West Rembo, Makati City at around 9:40 p.m. Monday.

Seized from the suspects were 15 packs of refined Chinese tea packs containing shabu worth PHP108.8 million, marked money, and a black Ford Everest with conduction sticker IO-4444.

Also on Monday night, police officers and agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) arrested five suspects — Liezel Julhasan, Donnalyn Julhasan, Rovelyn Enot, Denver Porlahe, and Sharifa Kuly in an operation at a fast-food restaurant in Barangay Tunasan, Muntinlupa City.

Confiscated from the suspects were around two kilos of shabu worth PHP13.6 million, seven mobile phones, a wallet containing different IDs, boodle money, and a red Toyota Wigo with plate number DAI 6096.

“Our anti-illegal drug operations are ongoing and this is properly coordinated with PDEA NCR. The PNP operations are focused on High Value Target (HVT) recovery of a large amount of shabu or illegal drugs,” Sinas told the Philippine News Agency (PNA).

The suspects are now facing charges for violation of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. (PNA)
