P3.4-M WORTH OF SHABU SEIZED BY NADTF

About P3.4-million worth of shabu were seized by the National Anti-Drug Task
Force (NADTF) from three alleged drug pushers, including two Taiwanese,
during two separate drug bust operations in Laguna and Bulacan early this
week.

NATDF-Northern Luzon Task Group head Superintendent Pepito Domantay said the
operations were part of the task force's mission to enhance the
governmentâ's drug control efforts and to reduce the supply of illegal
drugs.

The arrested Taiwanese nationals were identified as Chua Che Ket alias Jose
Cruz and Chua O Huan alias Ver Robert Chua. They were nabbed during an
operation in Marilao, Bulacan Monday wherein the police seized a kilo of
shabu.

Appropriate charges for violation of the Dangerous Drugs Law were filed
against the two foreigners.

Prior to this operations, police operatives also pounced on Guillermo
Villanueva in San Antonio, Los Banos, Laguna that resulted in the seizure of
400 grams of shabu. At least eight suspected drug pushers were nabbed while
about 283 grams of shabu were recovered by the NATDF since its activation
last month.

"As far as combating illegal drugs is concerned, there is still a lot of
drug traffickers to arrest and a huge amount of illegal drugs to confiscate.
We will not cease until we attain our vision of a drug-free Philippines,"
Domantay said.
