PDEA Director General Aaron N. Aquino identified the suspects as Sharon Alicaya, 33 years old, and Evangelyn Almacin y Medalla, 49, who were arrested by elements of PDEA Regional Office 7 (PDEA RO7) under the supervision of Director Emerson L. Margate in Barangay Lower Pakigne, Minglanilla, Cebu.
Confiscated during the operation were five pieces of heat-sealed transparent plastic pack containing suspected shabu, weighing more or less 23.5 grams with an estimated value of Php117,000.00, one black pouch, and the boodle money.
