CAUYAN CITY, Isabela --
Suspected drug peddlers were killed by police in separate drug buy-bust
operations in this city and Cabatuan town last week.
A report
reaching Senior Supt. Mariano Rodriguez, Isabela Police Provincial Office
director, identified the slain suspect in Cabatuan as Robert Cabuyadao, 53, of
Barangay Turod, Quezon town in Isabela.
The report
said Cabuyadao had just sold a sachet of suspected “shabu” to a poseur-buyer at
9:50 p.m. on Sept. 22 in Barangay Rang Ay, Cabatuan, when allegedly drew his
Cal.38 revolver and fired at undercover agents of the Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agency in Region 2.
The buy-bust
team had no other recourse but to return fire, killing the suspect.
Later the
same night at 11:15, PDEA-2 agents targeted the arrest of Manny Mapalo, 48, of
Barangay Bimmunton, Mallig town in another buy-bust operation in Barangay
Tagaran, Cuayan City.
Mapalo, like
Cabuyadao, allegedly pulled a gun on the arresting agents, forcing them to
shoot back.
He died on
the spot.
