P2.4-B Chinese Shabu Dealer Uses Subd. Owned by P’nan Politician

  By Mortz C. Ortigoza

After the narcos in the Philippines trembled, cowed, and absconded because of the brutal drug wars launched to them by then President Rodrigo Duterte in his term where thousands of them died, big time Mainland Chinese narcotic dealers are coming with their nefarious trade under the Administration of President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos who these malefactors think would be soft by not murdering them.

Yesterday, a police source told me about a mammoth raid by various operatives of the country in a subdivision owned by a politician in Pozorrubio, Pangasinan.

He said that law enforcers seized 360 kilograms of shabu (crystal methamphetamine or meth for brevity) with estimated Dangerous Drugs Board's value of P2.448 billion (other news reports said it was 400 kgs worth P2.72-B) and arrested Ke Wujia - a Chinese National, 49 years old, and a resident of San Vicente Sur, Agoo, La Union -;  Johnbert Yagong - 22 years old - ; 3. Jenson Rey Yago - 29 years old, a resident of Napaturan, Brgy. Codcod, San Carlos City, Negros Occidental - ; and 4. Ritchell Repuesto - 28 years old, a resident of San Carlos City, Negros Occidental.

The situs of their illegal trade was in the Blue House Subdivision located along Torqouise St. Sunshine Village, Brgy. Banding, Pozzorubio, Pangasinan.

I saw on the television the presence there of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) top honchos led by Director General Wilkins M. Villanueva, Deputy Director Greg Pimentel – a former Police Region-1 Director -, and my kasimanwa - Intelligence and Investigation Service Director Adrian G. Alvariño -  who guffawed on the antics I posted at Facebook and the pride of PDEA because of his feats -, members of the Philippine Navy, and the cops in Region-1.

Pimental (a PMYer like Villanueva and Alvariño) told GMA-7 news that the billions of pesos’ narcs were intended to Regions 2, 3, and the Western Visayas.

Madali makuha yung mga supply dito kasi nasa dalampasigan lang ang Region 1 (It is easier to transport supply here since Region 1 (Ilocos Region) is a coastal area," he said.

The malefactors would then repack the illegal drugs in Pozorrubio town, and send it to customers outside Pangasinan through a technique called dead-drop, he added.

As their modus operandi, the suspects would purchase used cars and leave them at the designated area, with the narcs inside the car, hidden inside junk food products that were covered by blankets.

The buy-bust operation was initially for five kilos of shabu worth P5 million but the law enforcers uncovered more blocks of suspected meth bundled in 18 sacks marked with Chinese tea Guanyiwang.

The raid resulted to the following seizures: 360 Kgs of shabu worth P2.448B; two cellphones (android); one analog phone; various identification cards ; various  documents; and Php P5 Million boodle money.

 The busted bad guys together with the confiscated illegal drugs are now under the custody of PDEA for proper disposition. Case for Violation of Sections 5 and 11, Art. II of RA 9165 (Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act) are being prepared for filing in court against them.

Selling of narcs in the Philippines is a non-bailable felony.

Here were the poser and statement to me by my source - a decorated police official:

1)      Kapag gagawa ka ng illegal, see to it that you have the right connection and knowledge of the ground to have the confidence na mag-prosper ang illegal activity mo. Who gave them the confidence to utilize that property in Pozzurobio?

2)      Mala “exclusive” iyong subdivision. Guarded at kailangan ang clearance (to those who want to enter – MCO) sa subdivision owner – the Politician.
