PNP chief orders probe of ₱7.8-B drug haul in Pangasinan
Manila Bulletin
|October 6, 2025
Philippine National Police (PNP) Acting Chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez, Jr. has ordered a thorough investigation into the confiscation of around P7.8 billion worth of shabu in Pangasinan in a bid to identify and arrest all those responsible for the entry of the illegal drugs into the country.
The seized shabu, which is the biggest drug haul so far since Nartatez assumed the top PNP leadership in August this year, was a result of a two-day operation of the PNP and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) that started with the arrest of a Chinese and a Filipino in a buy-bust in Bugallon town where 125 kilos of shabu worth P850 million were seized on Thursday, Oct. 2.
The following day, PNP and PDEA agents raided a warehouse in Labrador town, which resulted in the discovery of 895 more kilos of shabu worth P6.9 billion.
