LEGAZPI CITY – A suspected drug pusher, who was nabbed Saturday night, yielded over P1-million worth of shabu here, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) said.

Cotton Talento, spokesperson of PDEA-Bicol, in an interview on Sunday, said Ramdix Laniog Ramirez, 34, of Barangay San Agustin, Iriga City, was arrested in a buy-bust operation.

The suspect, who has been tagged by the agency as an illegal drug supplier, was caught red-handed while selling shabu to an undercover agent at Phase II, Imperial Court Subdivision, Barangay 24 in this city.

Seized from him was a knot-tied plastic bag containing shabu weighing 150 grams.
