In Bulacan, authorities arrested a high-value individual identified as alias “Jen” during a buy-bust operation, confiscating suspected marijuana kush, local marijuana, and vape devices containing suspected liquid marijuana worth ₱360,000. Her alleged cohort remains at large.

Meanwhile, operatives in Olongapo City arrested two alleged high-value individuals, alias “Jerome” and alias “Angel,” and seized around 55 grams of suspected shabu valued at ₱374,000.

In Pampanga, joint operatives arrested alias “Jojo” and alias “Jay Ar” in Barangay San Francisco, Magalang, recovering around 102 grams of suspected shabu worth ₱693,600.
