The buy bust also resulted in the killing of one suspect and the arrest of three others.
In a statement Thursday, the anti-narcotics body said the suspects, with aliases Lala, Allan, and Binny, were nabbed during the operation in Barangay San Antonio at about 5 p.m.
Another suspect, alias Sady, was killed while four PDEA agents were wounded in the ensuing gunfight.
Seized from the operation were 4.2 kg. of suspected shabu, a vehicle, mobile phones, buy-bust money, identification cards, drug paraphernalia, a firearm, ammunition, and several documents.
The arrested suspects will face charges for violation of Sections 5 and 11 of Article II of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
The wounded PDEA agents were brought to the hospital for medical treatment.
