Authorities in Cebu City seize about 41 kilograms of suspected shabu worth P278.8 million in a joint buy-bust operation early Sunday morning, Oct. 11, along Arca Street in Barangay Mabolo. GMA News reports the haul came from a motorcycle taxi (habal-habal) driver.
Inquirer.net reports the figure is part of a wider two-day anti-drug push in Cebu City, including a separate buy-bust operation over the weekend. In total, authorities describe roughly 45 kilograms of suspected shabu—estimated at P306 million—as the largest seizure in Central Visayas in about a decade. Inquirer also says four people were arrested across the operations.
The outlets frame the incident as a major drug interdiction, with differing emphasis on whether the spotlight is on the single Sunday seizure (P278.8 million) or the combined weekend haul (over P300 million). Both accounts attribute the action to anti-narcotics law enforcement and describe it as a significant blow to trafficking networks.
