BAGUIO CITY --
Police are now hunting 31 suspected regional and city high value drug
personalities who allegedly sought refuge in city barangays here.
City police director Col. Francisco Bulwayansaid five of 10 regional high value drug personalities are doing illegal drug trade in the city.
Seven of the drug personalities listed under the watchlist of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency were reportedly present in some drug-affected city barangays aside from six city high value targets and some street level drug personalities.
The BCPO official said anti-drug operations were on against the regional, city and street level drug personalities as part of the supply and demand reduction campaign of the city police force.
According to him, of the city’s 128 barangays, only 11 were undergoing drug clearing because of drug personalities operating in these areas.
The police official said of 11 drug-affected barangays, seven had already been submitted for drug clearing while 4 barangays are still subject to validation.
However, two barangays failed said validation because of presence of drug personalities in these communities.
During start of the aggressive anti-drug operations in 2016, there were some 113 drug affected barangays in the city while there were four barangays that were drug-unaffected at the start of the campaign.
Moreover, there were 2,554 drug surrenderees who opted to go back to the fold of the law at that time.
Bulwayan said that of the said number of drug surrenderees, 718 underwent the required 6-month community-based rehabilitation program, 253 are now undergoing the same program while 64 dropped out due to alleged relapse, among other reasons.
He said police and anti-narcotics agents were monitoring activities of drug surrenderees who either went out of the city or were still in their barangays to prevent them from going back to their illegal drug trade.
The BCPO and the PDEA are exchanging information on activities of drug personalities in the city to help in anti-drug operations that will help curb illegal drugs trade and achieve objective of the government for a drug-free city and country. -- Dexter A. See
