MANILA, Philippines - 11 men, reportedly bus drivers and dispatchers, were arrested during a drug raid on an apartment-hotel in Quezon City at dawn yesterday.
Chief Inspector Enrico Figueroa, who heads the Quezon City Police District’s Anti-Illegal Drug Special Operations Task Group, said they received a tip that the men were allegedly using the 14th Avenue Apartelle as a venue to use shabu.

It took police officers until dawn yesterday to arrest all the suspects and confiscate sachets of shabu with a street value of P60,000 to P70,000.
