BACOLOD City – Why was the bulk of shabu confiscated from June 27 to July 27 came from this city and Negros Occidental?
“That’s because policemen are doing their job,” said Vice Mayor El Cid Familiaran.
According to Sammy Montoyo, City Drug Abused Program coordinator, barangay anti-drug abuse councils (BADAC) were also actively campaigning against illegal drugs.
For his part, Colonel Henry Binas, BCPO director, said, “Dedicated and motivated ang operatives in their work.”
From June to July, P23,180,153 worth of shabu was seized across Western Visayas, data from the Police Regional Office 6 (PRO-6) showed.
The bulk of shabu was from Negros Occidental (P13.8 million) and Bacolod City (P9.2 million).
According to Familiaran, the seizures also indicated that there were many shabu users in Negros Occidental and Bacolod City.
Binas admit that illegal drugs remain a
problem despite the neutralization of many drug personalities. He pointed to
the lax security in seaports./PN
