MANILA, Philippines — More than half a million pesos worth of suspected “shabu” were seized from five suspects in Makati City last Nov. 29.

Alleged drug peddlers Jeffrey Aldave, Amber Stephen Rey, and Rebecca Neri were arrested in Barangay Pembo for possession of two small sachets of suspected shabu said to weigh 55 grams.

Aldave had already been arrested twice for drug possession. He was also included in the Philippine National Police and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency watch list.

Twenty minutes later, cops nabbed alleged drug pusher Ronny Cortejo and suspected user Prince Concordia in a buy-bust operation along Magnolia St. in Barangay Rizal. Seized were six sachets of suspected shabu reportedly weighing 20 grams.
