In a statement on Friday, the PDEA identified the suspects as Usman Unaid alias “Jamal,” 54; Aguil Asaral, 50; and Camille Roda Ismael, 41, all residents of Sitio Tramo Silangan, Barangay Halayhay, Tanza, Cavite.

The three were arrested in a buy-bust at the parking lot of a mall in Brgy. Tejero in General Trias City.

The suspects will face charges for violating Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
