ILOILO City – On Independence Day, a La Paz district resident who yielded an unlicensed firearm and plastic packs of shabu was detained.
Charlie Gubatanga, 31, of Barangay Ticud was arrested in Barangay Bolilao, Mandurriao after evading a checkpoint in Barangay Magsaysay, La Paz around 12:10 a.m., said Senior Inspector Rey Sumagaysay, La Paz police chief.
