The QCPD’s District Drug Enforcement Unit (DDEU) arrested Emilio Tayao, 25, in front of a house on Warayan St. in Sitio San Roque, Brgy. Bagong Pagasa, Quezon City, around 12:30 a.m. on Oct.19.

In coordination with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), DDEU operatives conducted a buy-bust after a concerned citizen tipped off the drug peddling activity of the suspect.

A police officer acted as a poseur buyer and bought P20,000 worth of alleged shabu from the suspect, which led to his arrest.
