MANDAUE CITY, Philippines — Instead of celebrating his June 9 birthday in his home, a resident of Barangay Paknaan in Mandaue City, ended celebrating his birthday inside a detention cell in Mandaue City. This was after Alvin Araneta, who is also known as 'Ego,' was caught with 500 grams of suspected shabu during a followup buy-bust operation on June 9 in Purok Tambis, Barangay Umapad, Mandaue City. Police said that the market value of the confiscated drugs was P3.4 million. They also described Araneta as a high-value target.
