The police poseur buyer bought a sachet of suspected shabu from the suspect for P10,000.
“Halos tanan man nga nadakpan naton wala gid na may naga aku. Ila na ina alegasyon, lantawon ta sa korte kung paano nila ma-prove nga wala sila gagamit. Isa pa if mag-positive [in a drug test] dira gid naton mabal-an,” Gimeno added.
Gimeno added that Pillora’s supply allegedly came from alias “Yaku” of Dumagas, Iloilo, and they conduct transactions in Barangay Don Esteban, Lapuz.
