LA TRINIDAD, Benguet, Philippines – An alleged drug syndicate leader was arrested in a sting at an eatery in Buguias town here Monday night.

Agosto Paayas, 54, was collared after he reportedly sold 46 sachets of shabu with an estimated value of P23,000 to an undercover agent.

Paayas was reportedly the town’s most wanted drug trafficker and uses his home as a drug den, said Chief Superintendent Isagani Nerez.
