MANILA, Philippines - Anti-narcotics agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency arrested two notorious drug pushers during a buy-bust operation in Negros Occidental, the PDEA reported on Friday.

PDEA director general Arturo Cacdac Jr. identified the suspects as Salic Manabilang y Sultan, 43, a farmer, of Bagondan, Cebu City; and Noel Odtohan, 51, of Barangay Zone 1-A, Pulupandan, Negros Occidental.
 
Cacdac said that last August 7, around 4 p.m., elements of PDEA Regional Office 6 conducted  a buy-bust operation at Poloy’s Pension, Bacolod Central Market, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental which led to the arrest of the two suspected pushers.
 
Authorities also confiscated four heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing methamphetamine hydrochloride, locally known as shabu, weighing more or less 15 grams, and the buy-bust money used during the operation.
 
The pieces of drug evidence were submitted to the PDEA RO 6 Laboratory Service for forensic examination.
 
Both apprehended suspects are temporarily detained at PNP back-up 1 Station, Bacolod City, Negros Occidental and will face drug raps.
