MANILA, Philippines — Two Chinese were killed yesterday in a reported shootout with lawmen during a drug sting at a warehouse in Tanza, Cavite where an estimated P1.9 billion worth of shabu was seized. Aquino said PDEA agents and policemen, who posed as buyers, figured in the firefight with the suspects. Aquino suspects the group conducted the operation in the wee hours of the morning to evade the Philippine Coast Guard and the Philippine National Police Maritime Group. An investigation is ongoing to determine the extent of the drug operation. Last year, the PDEA also traced shabu shipments hidden in magnetic lifters in Cavite that slipped past the Bureau of Customs in Manila.
