PDEA seizes P816 million worth of shabu in Pasig warehouse

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) successfully intercepted approximately 120 kilograms of methamphetamine, commonly known as shabu, with an estimated street value of P816 million, hidden inside snack boxes at a warehouse in Pasig City.

The seized parcels originated from various locations in California, USA, and were destined for multiple recipients in Taguig, Pasig, and Makati City.

These shipments were not declared upon their arrival in the country.

While no arrests have been made yet, the PDEA stated that this successful interdiction is part of a larger, ongoing investigation.

All collected evidence is currently undergoing confirmatory analysis at the PDEA Laboratory Service as legal proceedings are being prepared.

PDEA Director General Undersecretary Isagani R. Nerez emphasized the importance of interagency collaboration and the agency's presence in major transportation hubs for such operations.

The public is urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities or packages to the PDEA through their official social media page or hotlines.
