Pampanga Drug Bust: Over ₱1 Billion Worth of Shabu Seized. A massive drug bust in Angeles City, Pampanga has yielded over ₱1 billion worth of shabu, hidden in tea bags. The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) spokesperson, Atty. Joseph Frederick Calulut, stated that the packaging suggests the drugs may have originated from the Golden Triangle region, encompassing Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. While no arrests were made at the scene, Atty. Calulut confirmed that the PDEA is actively pursuing leads. This seizure represents one of the largest shabu busts in the Philippines this year, highlighting the ongoing struggle against drug trafficking. The PDEA's commitment to tackling both large-scale operations and street-level drug dealing is crucial in the fight against this pervasive issue.
