Nabbed was Vicente Sepuesca of Barangay Sum-ag Bacolod. He was said to be a high-value target.

The five kilos of suspected shabu were hidden in tea packs.

The suspect, who was onboard an Isuzu MU-X, had just arrived from Cebu when he was intercepted by Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency operatives, along with other police units and the Philippine Coast Guard, a PDEA report said.

The suspect is now in the custody of the Escalante City police and will face charges for the sale and possession of illegal drugs.*
