ROXAS City – Five sachets of suspected shabu valued around P600,000 were seized in a buy-bust operation in Barangay Cagay here, according to Master Sergeant Ramil  Arcangeles, Roxas City PNP Spokesperson.

The 43-year-old Alfred Jaguio and 34-year-old Feb Almia yielded the suspected illegal drugs, Arcangeles told Panay News.
