| Thirdly, we find plausible that Chua would trust Azurin regarding a drug deal worth P4 million after only a thirty-minute meeting. In a string of cases we have held that it is not uncommon for drug dealers to sell their commodities to total strangers heedless of time or place. Besides, the law does not prescribe as an element of the crime that the vendor and the vendee be familiar with each other. What matters in a drug-related case is not the existing familiarity between the seller and the buyer, but their agreement and the acts constituting the sale and delivery of the prohibited drugs.[41] The law simply penalizes the actual sale of shabu.[42] | |||||
