MAGUINDANAO, Philippines — The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency filed on Friday criminal cases against a 47-year-old woman detained for possession of P75,000 worth of shabu and unlicensed firearms, a PDEA official said Saturday. Suspect Vicky Sangikay also yielded more than P2 million worth of cash to PDEA and police agents who raided her hideout in Barangay Semba in Datu Odin Sinsuat, Maguindanao on Wednesday. Sangikay is included in PDEA’s list of the ten most wanted drug traffickers in Datu Odin Sinsuat municipality. Azurin said vigilant neighbors helped the PDEA-ARMM monitor the movements of Sangikay and even led agents to her lair last Wednesday. Sangikay, now in PDEA-ARMM’s custody, was charged with violation of Republic Act 9165, which prohibits possession and sale of narcotics and regulated substances, in a court in Cotabato City on Friday.
