HE IS READY TO KILLBy: Central Luzon News Center | Nelson BolosPaniqui, Tarlac - Thus, said PSupt Joel Mendoza as he described the killing of a drug pusher in Barangay Abogado.
In his report to Tarlac Police Director PSSupt Ritchie Posadas, Mendoza identified the slain “top drug personality” as Richard Fernandez (AKA Reggie), 38.
“Pag-abot niya (Fernandez) ng shabu at dadakmain na sana siya ng poseur buyer, binaril niya agad ito. Buti na lang naka-ilag ang pulis ko. ”, said Mendoza, this town’s police chief.
Fernandez is listed among this town’s Top 10 Drug Personalities.
A source said Fernandez went into hiding for months when the “intensified anti-illegal drugs operation was launched” but recently returned here and continued his selling of shabu and marijuana.
Mendoza said the entrapment happened right inside the house of Fernandez.
The police of this town hugged the news recently when an Aglipayan priest belonging to a faction of the Iglesia Filipina Independiente (IFI) was arrested here also for peddling shabu.
Randy Valdez, officiating priest of the Philippine Independent Catholic Church (PICC) in Cuyapo, Nueva Ecija, along with Mike Raven Quinto of Barangay Poblacion Sur here, and Camille Franilla, 23, of Barangay Poblacion Norte, also from this town, were nabbed in buy-bust operation last week.
“Alam na ng mga pusher ngayon na seryoso ang kampanya namin laban sa droga, kaya handa silang pumatay at mamatay. Na-tokhang na siya noon pero hindi siya nagbago”, also said Mendoza.
An unmarked cal. .38 pistol, 10 sachets of marijuana and a sachet of shabu were recovered from Fernandez.
