MANILA, Philippines - Operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and local police seized an estimated P1.2 million worth of methamphetamine hydrochloride, popularly known as shabu, in a buy bust operation in Camarines Norte.
PDEA and local police agents in Sta. Elena, Camarines Norte seized the illegal drugs from Mamao Misug, 31, a driver, of Calauag, Quezon.

Misug's accomplice, identified only as Batotoy Regala, eluded arrest.
Misug, temporarily detained at the local police station, is now facing illegal drug raps.
