Meanwhile, a man visiting his detained friend at the Batasan police station was arrested after 13 plastic sachets containing shabu were found in his possession.
Seized from the suspects were a plastic ice bag of suspected shabu weighing about 98 grams and with an estimated value of P667,000, and two sachets of suspected shabu weighing about 0.08 grams each.
The PDEA operatives seized large amounts of controlled precursors and essential chemicals used in the manufacture of shabu and ecstacy during the operation.
Galvez said Agdul yielded some PHP2,000 worth of suspected shabu and PHP200 marked money when arrested in a buy-bust operation Wednesday at an eatery in Barangay San Roque, this city.
The current street price of shabu in the local market continues its rapid rise and now ranges from P1,200 to P25,000 per gram, the highest since 2002 following the governments intensified anti-drug campaign.
