CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga—Agents of the Central Luzon Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency arrested Sunday a known drug dealer and seized some 200 grams of “shabu” or methamphetamine hydrochloride worth almost a million pesos in a buy-bust operation in Quezon City.
PDEA 3 Regional Director Gladys Rosales identified the suspect as Victor Guilani, 42, and resident of Litex, Commonwealth, Quezon City.
Rosales said Guilani is a notorious drug pusher who is responsible for the bulk distribution of shabu in Bulacan and Pampanga.
“PDEA agents were able to negotiate for the purchase of 200 grams of shabu for P300,000 from Guilani and first agreed to meet in Apalit, Pampanga then in Malolos, Bulacan and eventually in Matandang Balara, Quezon City where he was collared after handing over the illegal substance to a PDEA agent who acted as poseur buyer,” Rosales added.
The apprehension of the suspect resulted in confiscation of four medium-sized plastic sachets containing 200 grams of shabu with an estimated street value of P940,000 and the marked money used in the operation.
The suspect is now detained at the PDEA 3 Jail Facility in Camp Olivas, City of San Fernando, this province.
