Police identified the suspect as Jan Carlo Chan, 39, of Barangay 5. He allegedly yielded 19 grams of suspected shabu worth P129,200.
Police Major Rhea Sarah Villanueva, officer-in-charge of the Silay City Police Station, said the suspect is a street-level individual who allegedly sourced out his supply in Barangay Banago here.
Villanueva said that it took them three months to monitor Chan.
Also recovered from him were the P3,200 marked money, a car, drug paraphernalia, and P1,470.
