At least five suspects – “Leo,” “Mark David,” “Kent,” “Burt” and “Ëricson” – were arrested by policemen in Pagsanjan town while in a pot session in Barangay Pinagsanjan at 2:20 a.m.

Before the arrest, the group allegedly sold a pack of shabu to a poseur buyer.

The suspects were found in alleged possession of 18 sachets of shabu worth P213,622.

During routine frisking, Leo was also found with an illegal caliber .38 gun with six bullets.

Police tagged William, Ivan, and Paul as among the persons included in the police drug watch list as HVIs or high-value individuals in the local drug trade.

HVI refers to financiers, traffickers, manufacturers, and importers of illegal drugs or leaders/members of drug groups.

The other arrested suspects are street pushers in their respective localities.

The DA intends to run the TRO as “a specialized and dedicated office” to comply with the legal and administrative requirements and enhance its capacity to address trade remedy matters.

In a commentary, Japanese investment bank Nomura said the Philippines and India are the least exposed to China growth—which can get a boost from Chinese authorities’ recent policy blitz—due to the two nations’ “weak trade and investment linkages” with Beijing.

All suspects were detained and are facing criminal charges.
