A police report obtained by the Manila Bulletin identified the arrested suspects as Wilfredo Blanco, 37; and, Megan Pedroro, 38. Both are residents of Montalban, Rizal.
Seized from them were 240 kilos of shabu with a street value of P1.656 billion and a van which was reportedly being used by the suspects to transport shabuin Metro Manila and nearby areas.
