00:00More than P15 billion worth of ecstasy and high-grade marijuana, or KUSH, was found in a separate operation in Quezon City.
00:08Six people were arrested.
00:09Here is the news of James Agustin.
00:15At first glance, it looks like an ordinary vape that was found in the operation of the District Drug Enforcement Unit of the QCPD.
00:22But it contains liquid marijuana.
00:25It's not just a simple can because it contains KUSH oil.
00:2960 grams of high-grade marijuana, or KUSH, and 400 pieces of ecstasy tablets were also found.
00:36Drugs worth more than P2.6 million were found.
00:40Two women and two men were arrested in a drug by bus operation in Barangay Caularan, Quezon City.
00:47According to the police, the group operated not only in Metro Manila, but also in Calabar Zone.
00:53Their parochial members are party goers and prominent individuals.
01:00That's what our last suspects said.
01:05It's not just the youth.
01:08All walks of life parochial members are being sold.
01:16Authorities are investigating that from the ordering of drugs to the payment, everything is done online.
01:24All of their transactions are online.
01:27Actually, there are bags that have been confiscated.
01:31There are tags of who they are.
01:35It's through parcel. It's just ordinary.
01:40We asked the suspects about their arrest.
01:44It's not true.
01:45No comment.
01:46The two male suspects refused to give their consent.
01:49According to the police, one of the female suspects was charged with illegal drug transactions.
01:56That's why the two men were arrested in a drug by bus operation in Barangay UP Campus.
02:03They were given more than 1,700 grams of shabu and 750 grams of MDMA or low-grade ecstasy.
02:11They are worth more than 13.1 million pesos.
02:16The classification of this drug is a low-grade ecstasy.
02:21It contains mesaline, dioxin, methamphetamine, MDMA.
02:29If the ecstasy is P1.7 per tablet, this is P800, P700.
02:37That's the range. So it's cheaper.
02:39No comment. We will proceed to the court.
02:45Six more suspects are facing charges of smuggling in the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
02:50Five of them were previously jailed for cases related to illegal drugs.
