A 38-year old woman and a

identified as Lilibeth Paciencia, 38, of Brgy. Magbagacay, St. Bernard
in Southern Leyte was nabbed in a sting operation in said village.
“She was arrested by a
police team led by PSInsp. Ariel Nuñez after selling one heat-sealed
transparent plastic sachet containing white crystalline substance
suspected to be “shabu” to an undercover cop who acted as
poseur-buyer,” the police official informed.
After the arrest, lawmen
also recovered from Paciencia’s possession the P500-bill used as
buy-bust money and P240 cash in different denomination.

Seized from the suspect was

and the P500 marked money.
Meanwhile in Calbayog City,
Samar, a police team led by PSInsp. Aaron Raemon Elago arrested two
persons – Danilo Cano, 36 and Reynaldo Singanohon, 41 – in a buybust
