OPERATIVES of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency Region 3 smashed a makeshift drug den in an anti-illegal drugs operation in Mabalacat City, Pampanga.
Four were arrested, including the drug den operator, in the operation at Mawaque Resettlement, Sapang Biabas.
The PDEA 3 identified the arrested suspects as Oliver Ventura alias “Berung/Berong”, 43; Mark Anthony Ventura alias “Makmak,” 38; Rovilma Manlapaz alias “Vilma,” 46; and Rosetth Dimarucut alias “Setset,” 28, all residents of Bgy. Mawaque Resettlement, Sapang Biabas, Mabalacat City, Pampanga.
