PDEA seizes P1-M shabu in Taguig

MANILA, Philippines - At least 200 grams of shabu, with a street value of P1 million, was seized from a suspected drug pusher in an entrapment in Taguig Wednesday night.

Richard Gomez, 31, a resident of Navotas City, was arrested at around 8:30 p.m. outside a Spanish restaurant in Barangay Fort Bonifacio, according to Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) director general Jose Gutierrez Jr.

The PDEA said Gomez is allegedly a member of a drug syndicate involved in the proliferation of shabu in Metro Manila, particularly in Taguig, believed to be the group’s turf.
