Parañaque City Drug Bust Targets High-Value Personalities
Authorities in Parañaque City successfully arrested four alleged high-value drug personalities in a recent buy-bust operation, seizing approximately P2 million worth of suspected shabu. The operation, carried out along Ninoy Aquino Avenue in Barangay San Dionisio, underscores intensified efforts to dismantle drug networks in the area.
Operation Details and Seized Evidence
Officials reported that operatives from the Southern Police District’s Drug Enforcement Unit and Investigation Division conducted the sting on Wednesday. About 300 grams of suspected shabu were confiscated, carefully packed in six plastic sachets. Alongside the drugs, buy-bust money, a cellphone, and drug paraphernalia were also recovered from the suspects.
Local leaders noted the operation was coordinated closely with barangay officials and documented in the presence of media representatives to ensure transparency.

The four individuals arrested include three men aged 29, 34, and 45 years old, and a 29-year-old woman. They are now facing charges for violating Republic Act No. 9165, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002. The seized substances have been submitted to the Southern Police District forensic unit for further examination and testing.
