From the suspects, six heat-sealed transparent plastic sachets containing the suspected methamphetamine were recovered, with an estimated value of PHP 123,080. Additionally, PHP 500 used as buy-bust money, a weighing scale, and a coin purse were also seized.

The four suspects will face charges for violating Republic Act 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) at the Taguig City Prosecutor's Office.
