CEBU CITY -- A kilo of suspected shabu was seized from a call center agent, who was arrested in a buy-bust operation on Monday afternoon, Jan. 30, in Barangay Calamba here.
The estimated value of the illegal drugs that were seized from the 34-year old Earl Christian Binoya was P6.8 million, said Leia Alcantara, information officer of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-Central Visayas (PDEA-7).
