An alleged member of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front
(MILF) and his wife were arrested by anti-narcotics agents of the Philippine
Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) during a buy-bust operation in Manila
PDEA Director General Undersecretary Arturo G. Cacdac, Jr.
identified the suspects as Aminodin Guinto, 21 years old; and his 21-year-old
wife, Marizen. Both are residents of Barangay 648 C Palanca Street, San Miguel,
Manila
Cacdac said around 4 p.m. on Tuesday (Feb. 10) the joint
operatives of PDEA Regional Office 3 (PDEA RO3) under Director Jeoffrey Tacio,
PDEA Regional Office-National Capital Region (PDEA RO-NCR) under Director Erwin
Ogario and PDEA Special Enforcement Service (PDEA-SES) under Director Ismael
Fajardo, Jr. apprehended the couple after they agreed to sell and handed over a
transparent plastic bag containing suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride, or
shabu weighing more or less one kilogram worth Php 3 million to a PDEA
poseur-buyer along Arlegui Street, San Miguel, Manila.
“After the deal was consummated and the agents were about to
subdue the young couple, undetermined number of the suspects’ cohorts opened
fire at the operating team. The gun fight lasted for about five minutes.
Fortunately, no casualties were reported from both sides,” Cacdac said.
The male Guinto was found to have an identification card
indicating that he is an MILF member.
A case for violation of Section 5 (Sale of Dangerous Drugs),
in relation to Section 26 (Conspiracy to Sell), Article II of Republic Act 9165
or The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002, is being prepared for filing
in court against the Guintos.
