Guillermo Eleazar said the group would make hidden flaps inside the folders where they could insert customized plastic sachets containing drugs.&quot;Ang nakalagay po doong mga shabu ay 2 grams for each sachet na mahaba. Durog na durog po iyun kaya maglalaman po ng apat na sachet doon po sa palibot ng folder na iyun,&quot; Eleazar said.&quot;Kapag iyun po ay idinikit na, hindi niyo malalaman na may sachet po ng shabu doon.&quot;[Each sachet contains 2 grams of shabu. These are pulverized so each folder can carry four sachets. When the flaps are already closed, you won&#x27;t suspect that there are sachets of shabu there.]The suspects, he said, also packed magazines or documents inside the folders before sending them to the US and South Korea via courier service.The six suspects -- three Koreans and three Filipinos -- were arrested Tuesday during a buy-bust operation at their upscale condominium unit in One Rockwell East Tower, Makati City.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">Look: Mugshot ng anim na naarestong suspek kabilang ang tatlong koreano sa Makati.
