Police are still working on the case to determine more details about the operation and the suspects involved.

In the Philippines, a buy-bust operation is a planned police action used to catch people selling illegal substance.

Undercover officers pretend to be buyers and set up a meeting with the suspect.

Once the suspect hands over the illegal substance in exchange for money, the police reveal their identity and arrest the person on the spot.

This method is commonly used by law enforcement to stop drug dealing in communities and gather evidence that can be used in court.
