ILOILO – Aside from illegal drugs, goons are also a problem in this province’s 5th District, according to Chief Superintendent Cesar Hawthorne Binag, regional police director.

This is the reason why the Police Regional Office 6’s (PRO-6) campaign against illegal drugs and criminality would be given more emphasis in the northern Iloilo district, he stressed.

The 5th District is made up of the municipalities of Ajuy, Balasan, Barotac Viejo, Batad, Carles, Concepcion, Estancia, Lemery, San Dionisio, San Rafael, and Sara.

According to Binag, the PRO-6 had received text messages about the illegal drug problem in the district and the criminal gangs operating in the area.

These messages were further boosted by tips gathered from various drop boxes that police stations in the district made available for people slip notes containing information on illegal drugs and armed groups.

“We encourage community partnership in cleansing the 5th District,” said Binag.

He assured residents of the district that “in the performance of our official function, the rule of law and respect for human rights (will be observed).”

“Let us work together in fulfilling PRO-6’s strategic direction – to make Region 6 a peaceful place,” Binag added./PN
