Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Camarines Sur operatives nabbed four drug suspects, one of them claiming to be Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea’s nephew, and confiscated a total of P780,000 worth of shabu in two separate drug busts late Saturday night.

In an operation at Lendes Tourist Inn, La Medalla, Baao, Camarines Sur, PDEA operatives arrested Ryan Medialdea, who claimed to be a nephew of the executive secretary; Romeo Guevarra alias Masy or Amang; and Christian Bañaria alias Chano, PDEA Camarines Sur Agent Pongs told INQUIRER.net. Authorities recovered P480,000 worth of shabu in the operation.

Executive secretary Medialdea said he does not know the person claiming to be his nephew.

Meanwhile, a separate buy-bust operation of PDEA elements led to Leo Peyra’s arrest at his residence in Sta. Teresita, Baao, Camarines Sur. P300,000 worth of shabu was seized from Peyra.

The four are currently under the custody of PDEA Camarines Sur. /je
