TWO men were arrested in a drug buy-bust operation in barangay Lorega San Miguel, Cebu City, on Friday night.
Florian Mamat Remo and Edgardo Corpuz, both Lorega residents, were arrested shortly after selling a pack of suspected shabu worth P500 to a poseur buyer.
The two men were detained at the office of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Central Visayas and refused to comment on their arrest.
