BAGUIO CITY (January 7, 2025) -- Authorities seized P748,000-worth of shabu Tuesday morning during a sting operation in Urdaneta City, Pangasinan, perhaps the biggest shabu haul in a single law enforcement operation in this province of late.
Led by the Regional Drug Enforcement Unit of the Ilocos region police, the sting operation joined in by the Ilocos region police’s Regional Intelligence Division, Regional Intelligence Unit, Police Drug Enforcement Group Special Operations Unit 1, Pangasinan provincial DEU, Urdaneta City police and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Pangasinan, also yielded Camal Jumambao Tumawism 37, and Angela Manuel de Guzman, 28, both from Urdaneta City and both High Value Individuals (HVIs) in the illegal drug business in the Ilocos Region.
Ilocos region police director Brig. Gen. Lou Evangelista said 110 grams of shabu valued at P748,000.00, packed into two knot-tied plastic bags and one heat-sealed transparent sachet were seized from the drug dealers.
Evangelista added the seizure “reflects the police strong commitment of fighting illegal drugs and protecting communities,” adding, "we will continue targeting drug syndicates and high-value targets in Region 1 to ensure a safer and drug-free environment.
