Three drug traders caught in Baguio sting

BAGUIO CITY(December 5, 2024) -- Three alleged drug traders, whose names were still withheld, were caught in a sting hatched by PDEA-Cordillera agents aided by policemen in barangay Pinsao Pilot here Wednesday evening.

 

An undercover agent bought two-heat sealed plastic sachets containing 5 grams of shabu from one of the trio, signalling operatives to close in and catch the drug traders, said PDEA-Cordillera regional director Derrick Carreon.

 

Two additional sachets of shabu weighing .2 grams were seized when the two other drug dealers were frisked, added Carreon.

 

The seized drugs from the trio, who will be facing illegal drugs charges, specifically sale of illicit substances, were valued at P11,360.00.

As the May 12 election nears, a quiet but growing movement is making itself heard in Baguio City. It does not come from the traditional campaign stage or the usual political dynasties. It is not funded by machinery or driven by name recall. It comes from the ground, from the young, and from those who are tired of the cycle. Tired of the same names, the same faces, the same families. Tired of watching opportunity slip away as public service is reduced to a personal brand.
