LUCENA CITY––Police arrested a suspected drug pusher who yielded more than P19,000 worth of shabu (crystal meth) and an illegal firearm in a buy-bust operation Thursday in Antipolo City.
Anti-illegal drugs operatives collared Rodrigo Quirona at 1:44 a.m. after he sold P500 worth of meth to an undercover cop in Barangay Cupang, the Calabarzon police said in a report.

Authorities confiscated from Quirona two sachets of shabu with a street value of P19,652, an undocumented caliber .38 gun, and five bullets for a caliber 9-mm pistol.
Big-time drug suppliers were providing guns to some of their favored pushers for protection, aside from giving them free shabu for personal use as incentives.
