BORACAY – Police arrested a Taiwanese tour guide in a drug buy-bust operation here on Thursday.
The 54-year old Wei-Tang Yao, also known as “Julian,” sold a plastic pack of suspected shabu to an undercover officer for P1,000 around 1 a.m. on Road 1A, Sitio Bulabog, Barangay Balabag.
Five more plastic packs of suspected shabu, an improvised water pipe and a passport were further seized from the suspect.
