Police in Bacolod City, Philippines, have seized over P3 million worth of suspected shabu (methamphetamine) in a drug bust operation. Two suspects, Antonette Padilla and Shayne Marie Ocbina, were arrested during the operation.
Policemen seized another P3.4 million worth of suspected shabu in a drug bust operation at Purok Pagla-um, Barangay 17, Bacolod City, around 12:37 a.m. on Monday, December 30. The operation, carried out by operatives from Police Station 2, led to the arrest of Antonette Padilla, 37, a resident of Barangay 2, Bacolod City, and Shayne Marie Ocbina, 35, a resident of Manapla, Negros Occidental.
Records from the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) revealed that the suspects were arrested after one of them sold a sachet of shabu to a poseur buyer. Police recovered from the suspects’ possession nine sachets of suspected shabu, weighing 500 grams, along with the P1,000 marked money, P55,000 boodle money, a sling bag, and a coin purse. The police reported that Padilla, identified as a high-value drug personality in Bacolod City, had been under surveillance for nearly a month prior to her arrest. Her companion, Ocbina, was also known to be a street-level drug dealer. The suspects are currently detained at the custodial facility of Police Station 2 and will be charged for violating Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. This follows a previous operation on Sunday, during which an estimated P6.8 million worth of suspected shabu was seized in a joint drug bust by operatives from Police Station 8 and the City Drug Enforcement Unit (CDEU) at Purok United Roadside, Barangay Tangub. Additionally, another P1.7 million worth of suspected shabu was confiscated in Barangay Taculing, Bacolod City
