ILOILO CITY, Philippines — Police arrested on Tuesday a former inmate of the New Bilibid Prison and his cousin after confiscating P6 million worth of illegal drugs during an operation in Pavia town, Iloilo.

Insp. Ryan Duseo, head of the Provincial Anti-illegal Drugs Special Operations Group of the Iloilo Provincial Police Office, said Dennis Paderog, 38, and his cousin Christopher, 23, both from the Jaro District here, were detained at the Pavia police station pending the filing of charges.

He said a poseur buyer tried to buy shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) from the Paderogs about 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday but the suspects noticed the presence of policemen and tried to escape.
