PUDTOL, Apayao, Philippines —  An incumbent barangay kagawad was arrested in an anti-narcotics operation in this town on Tuesday.

The 42-year-old suspect was collared at his house in Barangay Mataguisi following a search by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency.

The PDEA said the raiding team recovered shabu with an estimated street value of P7,000 from the suspect’s house.

Charges for violating Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 will be filed against the suspect, the PDEA said.
