This case has been cited 7 times or more.

	GR No. 189844 2010-11-15	PEOPLE v. MARIO VILLANUEVA BAGA VELASCO JR., J.
A careful review of the records of the instant case raises serious doubts as to the identity of the drug in question. While a buy-bust operation is legal and has been proved to be an effective method of apprehending drug peddlers, due regard to constitutional and legal safeguards must be undertaken.[15] It is the duty of the courts to ascertain if the operation were subject to any police abuse.
	GR No. 190179 2010-10-20	PEOPLE v. EDWARD R. FELICIANO VELASCO JR., J.
It is settled that a buy-bust operation is a form of entrapment that is resorted to for trapping and capturing criminals. It is legal and has been proved to be an effective method of apprehending drug peddlers, provided due regard to constitutional and legal safeguards is undertaken.[21]
	GR No. 184805 2010-03-03	PEOPLE v. VICTORIO PAGKALINAWAN VELASCO JR., J.
One form of entrapment is the buy-bust operation. It is legal and has been proved to be an effective method of apprehending drug peddlers, provided due regard to constitutional and legal safeguards is undertaken.[12]
	GR No. 185381 2009-12-16	PEOPLE v. DANILO CRUZ Y CULALA VELASCO JR., J.
A buy-bust operation is a form of entrapment that is resorted to for capturing persons who are predisposed to commit crimes. The operation is legal and has been proved to be an effective method of apprehending drug peddlers, provided due regard to constitutional and legal safeguards is undertaken.[8]
	GR No. 186497 2009-09-17	PEOPLE v. HASANADDIN GUIARA Y BANSIL VELASCO JR., J.
In our jurisprudence, a buy-bust operation is a recognized means of entrapment using such ways and means devised by peace officers for the purpose of trapping or capturing a lawbreaker.[9] It is legal and has been proved to be an effective method of apprehending drug peddlers, provided due regard to constitutional and legal safeguards is undertaken.[10]
	GR No. 183819 2009-07-23	PEOPLE v. ARSENIO CORTEZ Y MACALINDONG VELASCO JR., J.
Cortez's challenge about the legality of a buy-bust operation is already a closed issue. In People v. Bongalon,[6] the Court elucidated on the nature and legality of a buy-bust operation, noting that it is a form of entrapment that is resorted to for trapping and capturing felons who are pre-disposed to commit crimes. The operation is legal and has been proved to be an effective method of apprehending drug peddlers, provided due regard to constitutional and legal safeguards is undertaken.[7] Entrapment should be distinguished from instigation which has been viewed as contrary to public policy.
	GR No. 181747 2008-09-26	PEOPLE v. NARCISO AGULAY Y LOPEZ CHICO-NAZARIO, J.
A buy-bust operation is a form of entrapment which in recent years has been accepted as a valid and effective mode of apprehending drug pushers. In a buy-bust operation, the idea to commit a crime originates from the offender, without anybody inducing or prodding him to commit the offense.[16] If carried out with due regard for constitutional and legal safeguards, a buy-bust operation deserves judicial sanction.[17]
