FLOW OF THE CASE

We, the UNDERSIGNED Police Officers, both members of

the Philippine National Police Anti-Drug Unit, presently assigned
at the Police Station 1 of Digos City, do hereby depose and state
that:
1. We are among the members of the Digos City Police Team
who conducted a buy-bust operation at Estrada 3 rd, Digos
City near the Little Ambassadors Child Learning Center
together with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency
(PDEA).
2. Said operation stemmed from a report of our confidential
agent/informant Nustradamus Wagapataka for violation of
Section 5, Article II of Republic Act No. 9165 (The
Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002) which was
referred to our office by the informant himself against
Maryaddict Tabuyoc, 27 years of age, single, Filipino and
residing at Estrada 3rd, Digos City in front the Little
Ambassadors Child Learning Center.
3. After conducting a quick surveillance on 4 January 2016 to
ascertain the truthfulness of report made by Nustradamus
Wagapataka about Maryaddict Tabuyocs alleged drugrelated activities, we planned a buy-bust operation.

together with the informant and the PDEA team proceeded
to Estrada 3rd, Digos City to conduct a buy-bust operation.

latter that he wanted to purchase shabu from her and gave
her the prepared buy-bust money - (3) One Hundred (P 100)
bills all marked.

7. Tabuyoc went inside her house and later reappeared with a

plastic sachet containing a white crystalline substance and
handed it to informant Wagapataka.
8. Then poseur buyer gave the pre-arranged signal of lighting
a cigarette to indicate to the rest of the team that the
operation has been consummated.
9. Thus, the rest of the team approached Tabuyoc and
proceeded to arrest her. Likewise the arrested person was
apprised
