AUTHORITIES arrested at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport two suspected drug couriers who were caught in possession of 1.2 kilos of smuggled methamphetamine hydrochloride, also known as shabu, worth P8 million from Congo.
The suspects were identified as Ronald Puerto Rebvera, 26, a resident of Bagumbong, Caloocan City and Bryan Levantico Cortes, 26, of San Francisco, Mabalacat, Pampanga. They are now detained at the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency awaiting the filing of criminal charges against them.
