CALAMBA CITY, Laguna -- A pregnant woman held for previous drug cases was arrested anew by police here in buy-bust on Wednesday in Barangay Parian, yielding some 90 grams of what is believed to be shabu worth PHP621,000.
Col. Eleazar Matta, Laguna provincial police director, identified the suspect as May Anne Pisigan of Barangay Baclaran in nearby Cabuyao City.
