CAMP OLIVAS, Pampanga — Two drug personalities were killed in a firefight with police operatives during a buy-bust operation in Bulacan, Sunday.

Reports reaching here identified the slain suspects as alias Edward of Barangay Batia, Bocaue town; and Jose Bautista, 54, alias Ute, of Barangay Banga, Plaridel town, both in Bulacan.
