PDEA director general Arturo Cacdac Jr. identified the suspects as Salic Manabilang y Sultan, 43, a farmer, of Bagondan, Cebu City; and Noel Odtohan, 51, of Barangay Zone 1-A, Pulupandan, Negros Occidental.

 

Cacdac said that last August 7, around 4 p.m., elements of PDEA Regional Office 6 conducted  a buy-bust operation at Poloy’s Pension, Bacolod Central Market, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental which led to the arrest of the two suspected pushers.

 

Authorities also confiscated four heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing methamphetamine hydrochloride, locally known as shabu, weighing more or less 15 grams, and the buy-bust money used during the operation.

 

The pieces of drug evidence were submitted to the PDEA RO 6 Laboratory Service for forensic examination.

 

Both apprehended suspects are temporarily detained at PNP back-up 1 Station, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental and will face drug raps.
