MANILA (UPDATE) - Some P20.4 million worth of suspected shabu was seized in a buy-bust operation in Malate, Manila on Thursday.

Authorities initially said the seized drugs were worth P6.8 million.

Police arrested Ryan Tomawis, 25, after a sale took place in a motel.

The Philippine National Police Drug Enforcement Group (PNP-DEG) said they transacted with a certain "Rex" but that he was not the one who went to the exchange.

Authorities were not surprised to find out that Tomawis was sent instead.

The PNP-DEG said it is the modus operandi of big-time drug pushers to send someone else to do the actual exchange to evade arrest.

Police believe Tomawis was only a courier and are still looking for alias Rex, who may be a drug bigwig operating in Metro Manila and nearby provinces.
