At 8:30 a.m., police arrested suspect Eurick Quizon and seized from him some PHP130,000 worth of shabu following an operation in Barangay Balindong, Kidapawan City.
“The suspect was arrested following an exchange deal with a poseur-buyer,” Brig. Gen. Eliseo Rasco, Police Regional Office–12 director, said in a statement Monday.
