LUCENA CITY – A lady drug pusher known to her regular clients as “Tita” (auntie) was arrested in this city shortly before midnight Saturday, police said Sunday.

Senior Supt. Rhoderick Armamento, Quezon police director, said anti-illegal drug operatives collared Lorna Avenilla Manlogon, 63, in a buy-bust operation in Purok Riverside, Barangay (village) Ibabang Dupay, at about 11:35 p.m.

The suspect yielded three small plastic sachets of “shabu” (methamphetamine hydrochloride) weighing four grams worth P7,000 in the street drug market.

“She has lots of ‘suki’ (regular customers) among drug users,” a police agent said, adding that they fondly called her “Tita.” CBB
