Authorities seized some ₱6.8 million worth of shabu following a buy-bust operation in Mabalacat City over the weekend.
Brigadier General Jess Mendez, director of Police Regional Office 3 (PRO3), said one kilogram of shabu was recovered during the operation.
The "buy-bust" was conducted by the Mabalacat City Police Station Drug Enforcement Unit , 2nd Provincial Mobile Force Company Pampanga and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Regional Office 3.
Mendez said the illegal drugs were seized from “Kuya” and “Panggay,” both listed as high-value individuals (HVIs).

“Patuloy nating paiigtingin ang ating operasyon upang mapanatiling ligtas ang ating mga komunidad,” Mendez said.
