TWO drug pushers including a minor were arrested in a drug bust by personnel of the Police Regional Office-Cordillera on Wednesday, August 16.
A 17–year-old construction worker, from Talisay, Davao and presently residing at East Quirino Hill Barangay, Baguio City was taken into custody after he was caught at the staging area of Middle Quirino Hill Barangay.

In another operation, Daryl Buyawe Dominguez, 28, a native of Baang, Bauko, Mt. Province and presently residing at Boted, Tawang, La Trinidad, Benguet was also collared after he handed a sachet of illegal drugs to one of the police operatives who paused as a poseur-buyer in front of the Marosan’s Restaurant Shilan, La Trinidad.
Confiscated from his possession were three heat sealed transparent plastic sachets containing suspected shabu, one disposable lighter, two electrical tape, one cellphone, one double mint container, P650 cash and buy bust money amounting to P1,000.
