PDEA links Mindanao politician to seized drug shipment

Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency spokesman Joseph Frederick Calulut on Thursday, Oct. 15, 2026, said investigators found that a politician from Mindanao was the financier of the Philippine-bound chartered private jet that carried 521 kilograms of suspected shabu worth P3.54 billion seized in Laos.

A Filipino identified only as 'Fahad', reportedly a resident of Marawi City, was arrested after the drug shipment was seized at Luang Prabang International Airport.

PDEA chief Isagani Nerez earlier said investigators are tracing Fahad’s connections and identifying possible accomplices in the Philippines.
