Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) authorities nabbed a barangay chief and her companion in Misamis Occidental on Saturday and seized from them P125,000-worth of crystal meth, locally known as shabu.

In a statement, PDEA Director General Aaron N. Aquino identified the suspects as Mary Ann Angcap, 41-year-old chairman of Barangay Labuyo, Tangub City, and her 51-year-old companion, Danilo Aballe.

Armed with a warrant, agents of the PDEA office in Northern Mindanao, conducted a search at around 2:30 p.m. at the suspects’ house and found four transparent plastic sachets containing 24 grams of suspected shabu, with an estimated street value of P125,000. They also found a .45-caliber pistol with a magazine inserted containing eight rounds of ammunition.
