He said they resort to selling “bato” to support their vice.

“Matigas ang magpinsan, ayaw sabihin ang source nila. Kaya ang conclusion, ‘pag lumaya sila itutuloy pa rin nila ang pagbebenta ng droga”, said Mendoza.

Mendoza also revealed that both Ronald and Reynold are on the Municipal Watchlist of Drug Personalities.

“Don’t shoot policemen. We are trained to defend ourselves.”

By: Central Luzon News Center | Nelson Bolos

Thus, said PSupt Ponciano Zafra on the killing of a wanted “big time drug supplier” who shot it out with the arresting policemen around 10:30 in the morning on June 5, 2017 at Purok Uno, Barangay Dalampang.

Around P1 Million worth of shabu and a caliber .45 pistol were recovered.

Killed in an armed-encounter was Felicito Barcoma y Tanjosay, 44, of Purok Apitong, Barangay Poblacion, Gen. Natividad, Nueva Ecija.

Zafra revealed Barcoma was about to be served a warrant of arrest for possession of illegal drugs when he (Barcoma) tried to elude arrest and fired at the arresting cops.

The Warrant of Arrest was issued by Judge Felizardo Montero Jr of the Regional Trial Court Branch 29, Cabanatuan City.

“Nang a-arestuhin namin siya, bigla siyang tumakbo sa bukid at pinutukan niya kami”, said Zafra who personally led the operation against Barcoma.

Recovered from Barcoma were 4 “bulging sachets” of shabu and a Colt caliber .45 pistol. Also confiscated from the Mazda Hatchback car driven by Barcoma were 6 sachets of shabu with a total weight of 60.23 grams.

The street value of seized drugs is around P1 Million. (A gram of shabu is usually repacked into more than 35 pieces of P500 “retail-sized” plastic sachets.)

Zafra also disclosed that Barcoma supplies shabu in Talavera and San Jose towns and in this city.
“He is very elusive. He only stops for a few minutes to deliver shabu to his network of pushers here and in other towns. But our weeks of intelligence work paid-off, we got him at Barangay Dalampang where he was about to deliver (illegal drugs) to one of our informers”, Zafra said.

“We are focused on stopping the entry of drugs into the city. Barcoma gets his shabu from Manila. Actually, when we were running after him at the newly planted palay farm, he was able to throw away many shabu. We could have recovered more shabu if he surrendered peacefully”, also said Zafra.
In his almost 11 months as this city’s chief of police, Zafra has jailed almost 400 pushers and drug addicts.

“I’m warning drug pushers and addict not to shoot at us (policemen). We are trained to defend ourselves and to shoot criminals if the situation calls for it”, added Zafra who has received several medals and commendations for his “relentless” campaign against illegal drugs.

By: Central Luzon News Center | Nelson Bolos

This came as the police here arrested a “well known” drug pusher from Olongapo City who allegedly supply drugs in Concepcion, Tarlac.

In his report to Tarlac police provincial director PSSupt Ritchie Posadas, Superintendent Luis Ventura Jr, revealed that Arnolf Lugtu, AKA “Ponpon”, 30, of Sitio Pao, Barangay Sta. Cruz, here, was nabbed in a buy bust on May 27 morning time.

Lugtu’s name is listed on this town’s Watchlist of drug personalities and earlier he was among those who “surrendered” to the police but, apparently, he (Lugtu) continued his drug operation.

“Lugtu fooled us (police). He surrendered (to the police) and admitted his illegal drug activities and even signed an affidavit promising that he will no longer involve himself on illegal drugs. But he reneged on his promise and continued his selling shabu“, said Ventura.

Lugtu is a native of Olongapo City, but established a “palay buying” and “cono” (palay mill) business in Barangay Sta. Cruz 3 years ago.

His neighbors suspect that his business is only a “front” for his drug dealings.

“Nakaka-duda ang pagnegosyo niya (Lugtu) dito sa amin. Nagtayo siya ng konohan (palay mill) pero madalas namang sarado at ang pagbili niya ng palay paminsan-minsan lang. Laging siyang nagpupunta sa Olongapo (city) at alam ng halos lahat dito na siya ang nagbibigay at nagbebenta ng shabu dito sa amin”, said a neighbor who requested his name withheld for security reasons.

Lugtu is also described as, “bigtime, laging maraming pera pero hindi naman ina-asikaso ang negosyo (palay buying and milling)”

For his part, Mayor Andy Lacson commended Ventura for his “very serious and relentless efforts against illegal drugs”.

“Walang shabu laboratory dito, kaya dapat talagang hulihin ang mga nagdadala ng droga sa aming bayan”, also said Lacson.

CAPTION: Peddler of shabu from Olongapo City? Arnolf Lugtu “a well known pusher” from Olongapo City was arrested in buy bust at his residence at Barangay Sta. Cruz, Concepcion, Tarlac. Lugtu is now detained at the Concepcion Police Station.
