BONTOC, Mountain Province – A construction worker, reportedly responsible, along with his group, in distributing and selling shabu to drug addicts in this capital town was captured by narcotics agents around 8 p.m. March 13 in a buy-bust operation in Baguio City.
Earlier acquitted by a court for an illegal drugs charge, Resty G. Ganise, 27, of Saclit, Sadanga, Mountain Province, and resident of Upper Km. 3, Asin Road, Baguio, was arrested at Lakandula St. in Kagitingan, Baguio City by Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency– Cordillera PDEA agents.
Reportedly confiscated from Ganisewere two blocks of dried marijuana valued at P22,500. A case for illegal drugs was set to be filed against him by the PDEA which said Ganise had been in the watch list of drug personalities in Mountain Province.
Ganise, then a third year Bachelor of Science in Criminology student, was apprehended by cops with two others, wherein one evaded arrest, at Poblacion, Bontoc, Mountain Province, on July 26, 2010.
A PDEA report said Ganise’s group was intercepted with 40 blocks or 40 kilos of dried marijuana worth P985,000 placed in two sacks and loaded in a van, which came from Tinglayan, Kalinga via the Bontoc-Kalinga national road.
Exactly a month later, on August 26, 2010, he was acquitted of charges for transportation of dangerous drugs.
PDEA regional director Gil Cesario P. Castro said Ganise’s marijuana supply came from Saclit, Sadanga, Mountain Province, and Buscalan and Loccong in Tinglayan, Kalinga.
His group reportedly bartered marijuana for shabu in Crystal Cave, Baguio, which were later distributed in Bontoc.
Investigation revealed at least three of his close relatives were already implicated in the past to drug law violations.
