Pinamalayan, Oriental Mindoro โ In line with the intensified campaign against illegal drugs, a Joint Anti-Illegal Drugs Buy-Bust Operation conducted by operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) MIMAROPA, Philippine National Police Drug Enforcement Group (PNP-DEG), and Calapan City Police Station led to the arrest of two PDEA-HVTs on June 2, 2026, in Brgy. Sta. Isabel, Calapan City.
The operation resulted in the arrest of two male suspectsโa 32-year-old conductor and a 41-year-old driver, both residents of Brgy. Poblacion, Bansud, Oriental Mindoroโafter a poseur-buyer successfully purchased suspected shabu from them during the conduct of the buy-bust operation, leading to their immediate apprehension.
During the operation, authorities confiscated approximately 55 grams of suspected shabu with an estimated Standard Drug Price amounting to PhP374,000.00, along with buy-bust money, drug paraphernalia, communication equipment, and a Toyota Hi-Ace van believed to have been used in the illegal drug activities. The inventory and marking of evidence were conducted at the scene in the presence of a barangay councilor and media representative, ensuring compliance with legal procedures.
The confiscated drug evidence will be submitted to PDEA Regional Office IV-B for laboratory examination, while the arrested suspects remain under the custody of PDEA pending the filing of appropriate charges for violation of Republic Act No. 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
PCOL EDISON V REVITA, Provincial Director, lauded the collaborative efforts of the operating units and reaffirmed the commitment of OrMin PPO to the relentless campaign against illegal drugs. He emphasized that the accomplishment reflects the effective implementation of OrMin PPO Project S.H.I.E.L.D., particularly its Integrated Law Enforcement Collaboration component, which strengthens coordination, intelligence sharing, and operational synergy among law enforcement agencies, resulting in more effective and responsive operations against illegal drug activities and other criminal threats in the province.
โMuli nating pinatutunayan na walang puwang ang ilegal na droga sa ating lalawigan. Ang matagumpay na operasyong ito ay bunga ng matibay na koordinasyon at pagtutulungan ng ating mga law enforcement agencies sa mas pinaigting na pagpapatupad ng batas laban sa ilegal na droga. Ang pagkakaaresto sa mga sangkot at pagkakasamsam ng hinihinalang shabu ay malinaw na patunay ng ating patuloy at walang humpay na kampanya upang maprotektahan ang ating mga komunidad mula sa epekto ng ilegal na droga. Hinihikayat ko rin ang publiko na makiisa at magbigay ng mahalagang impormasyon sa mga awtoridad upang lalo pang mapalakas ang ating sama-samang laban sa kriminalidad at ilegal na droga,โ PCOL REVITA stated.
