PDEA Director General Undersecretary Jose Gutierrez Jr. said 41-year-old Ruel Servando of the Sumalinog drug group was arrested after selling one plastic sachet of shabu to a poseur buyer in Purok Lukban, Zone 2, Bulan on March 7.
His arrest came months after authorities nabbed another member of Sumalinog, identified as Lemuel Gayoso, in Zambales.
"The arrest of Servando is a clear message to the public that PDEA is determined to arrest drug personalities and to cripple the operations of the local drug syndicates as part of our mandate to rid our communities of dangerous drugs and their ill-effects," Gutierrez said.
"For the year 2011, PDEA was able to neutralize a total of 227 drug groups nationwide," he added.
In Davao City, meanwhile, two drug personalities were arrested by PDEA during a buy-bust operation.
They were identified as Carlos Sumaylo, 35, and Oliver Rodrigeuz, 29.
Recovered from the suspects were two plastic sachets of shabu and the marked money that was used during the illegal transaction.
