CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga, March 8 (PNA) -- The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-3 (PDEA-3) arrested Monday four drug dealers and seized Php500,000 worth of shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) in an anti-illegal drug operation in the City of San Fernando, this province.

PDEA-3 Regional Director Gladys Rosales identified the suspects as Federico Pangilinan, 47, a resident of Porac; Ricardo Gomez, 29, a resident of Angeles City; Ermin Liwanag, 44, of Arayat; and Wilson Bognot, 26, of Angeles City, all of this province.

Rosales said the agents were able to negotiate the purchase of 100 grams of shabu for Php280,000 and agreed to meet at the parking lot of Robinsons Mall in the City of San Fernando at 8 p.m. Monday.

The suspects were arrested when they handed a plastic bag containing shabu to the poseur buyer, Rosales said.

During a search, she said the suspects yielded more shabu contained in an ice bag to bring the total amount seized to Php500,000.

The suspects were brought to the PDEA-3 jail facility here.
