Over 10,000 drug suspects surrender in Pampanga
'It's good that you surrendered to us because there are only 3 things that can happen to you: Die, surrender, or get arrested,' says Police Regional Office 3 director Chief Superintendent Aaron Aquino
Presidente (Rodrigo) Duterte nang malaman na itatapon ang mga pulis na ito sa Basilan,” he said.
(We will assign these rogue policemen to Basilan and let them fight the Abu Sayyaf there. President Duterte was very happy when he learned that these policemen would be sent to Basilan.)
For her part, Governor Lilia Pineda thanked the drug suspects for deciding to participate in the program. She also asked them to convince other drug pushers and users to also avail of the program.
Central Luzon campaign
On Tuesday, PRO3 reported that 60 drug personalities were shot dead and a total of 26,479 drug pushers and users surrendered to the police in the 7 provinces of Central Luzon from July 1 to 19.
According to police reports, the suspects gunned down by the police either allegedly drew their guns or fired shots at authorities as they resisted arrest or a search of their residences in compliance with court-issued warrants.
Some 596 persons were also arrested in anti-drug operations in different parts of the region from July 1 to 19.
Deadly weapons confiscated from drug suspects and suspected criminals for the same period include 14 high-power firearms, 59 low-power guns, two hand grenades, and several hundred pieces of bullets.
On Monday, Aquino said the PNP’s targets in the war against drugs include local government officials who are alleged financiers or protectors of drug traders.
He refused to disclose the names of local officials in Central Luzon suspected to be involved in illegal drugs, but said some mayors and several village chiefs are among the suspects.
Central Luzon has 16 cities, 116 towns, and 3,102 villages.
A 2014 Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) report showed that 27% of Central Luzon’s villages were drug-infested. It said 193 of these villages are in Pampanga, 189 in Nueva Ecija, 159 in Tarlac, 97 in Bulacan, 94 in Bataan, 72 in Zambales, and 42 in Aurora. – Rappler.com
