A 26-year-old janitor was arrested on Tuesday night, April 28, 2026, after police seized more than a kilogram of suspected shabu during a buy-bust operation in Talisay City. The suspect, identified as Michelle Balais Oca, also known as “Bay,” was apprehended in Barangay San Roque. The operation was a joint effort by the Talisay City Police, the Provincial Intelligence Unit, and specialized drug enforcement groups.
Major Drug Seizure
During the arrest, officers recovered large plastic packs of the illegal drug weighing 1.1 kilograms, with an estimated street value of P7.48 million. Police described Oca as a “high-value individual” whose name had previously surfaced in other investigations as a major supplier for the illegal drug trade in Barangay Tangke.
Legal Proceedings
Oca is currently detained at the Talisay City Police Station and faces serious charges for violating the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act (RA 9165). This arrest follows another massive operation earlier this year in Naga City, where police seized P54.4 million worth of shabu.
