Authorities nabbed an alleged pusher of prescriptive drugs in a buy-bust operation in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
The authorities identified the suspect as Milandre Tabalar.
Seized during the operation were boxes of prescriptive drugs including a cannabis vaporizer.
“It is also a drug that needs prescription pero you can buy it from here. These are all downers actually na kung minsan ay hinahalo nila sa inumin lalong lalo na pagnagkakaroon tayo ng mga parties,” Police Major General Vic Danao, regional director of the National Capital Region Police Office, said in John Consulta’s “24 Oras” Weekend report on Saturday.

Based on the police report, the suspect allegedly sold the drugs in Region 3, Calabarzon, and Metro Manila.
“Napakalaking bagay because the group was busted and they were apprehended lalong lalo ito. May follow-up operations pa ito actually hopefully yung kanyang mga kasamahan makukuha natin eventually,” Danao said.
