MANILA, Philippines—A 25-year-old Chinese national believed to be a member of a drug syndicate was arrested and millions worth of suspected shabu were confiscated following a drug sting in Manila, a Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency official said Wednesday.

In a belated report, PDEA chief, Director General Arturo Cacdac Jr., identified the arrested suspect as Shaofen Cai, a.k.a Chua Sho Feng/ Ding Cai.

Cacdac said the suspect made a drug deal with a PDEA under cover agent last Monday and they met at Plaza L. Ruiz, in Binondo, Manila around 9 p.m.
