He listed the busting of illegal drugs laboratories and the arrest of Chinese suspects, as well as the rescue of a Pakitani businessman and his friend and a three-year-old child from their kidnappers.
“On the campaign against illegal drugs, the most notable was the busting of illegal drugs laboratories at Diamond Subd., Barangay Balibago and along Gumamela St., Barangay Pampang, both in Angeles City last December 12 and the subsequent arrest of the suspects identified as Yang Hong Liang, 28 years old; Yang Liang Zao, 39 years old, and Yang Pei Zi, 34 years old, all native of Fujian, China,” the press release issued by regional police information officer Superintendent Baltazar Mamaril said.
