Dagupan tops anti-drugs campaign in Pangasinan

By February 11, 2008Inside News, News

In a bid to correct public impression that the Dagupan police have been remiss in their task in curbing illegal drug trafficking in the city, the Dagupan City police chief maintained that his station contributed the most to the Pangasinan Police Provincial Anti-Drug Operations Task Group’s accomplishments in 2007.

Superintendent Dionicio Borromeo, Dagupan City police chief, citing an official report, said the city police arrested 101 suspected drug personalities in 88 separate operations and confiscated 68.69 grams of shabu and 133 grams of marijuana.

The station’s accomplishments, he said, comprise 30% of the total accomplishment of the provincial group, which registered arrests of 349 drug personalities nationwide.

“Considering that Pangasinan has four cities and 44 municipalities, our accomplishment would show that, indeed, our police are not remiss in their jobs,” Borromeo said.

He noted that their operatives arrested notorious and big time drug traffickers, including Nora Deron (alias Nora Makasampol) known as the shabu queen, Gerard Fung, Alexander Benson, Saidale Palao, the Huk brothers Muslimin and Ulangkaya, and Jose Francisco.

He also cited their most recent accomplishment involving the apprehension of Michael Baguland his wife, Ana Bagul in Bonuan Tondaligan in a joint effort with the regional Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency on January 30.

Bagul, 49, president of the Dagupan Muslim Association and his wife, Anna Liza Bagul, 40, were arrested in a buy-bust entrapment operation in Bonuan Tondaligan, initiated by operatives of the regional office of the PDEA.

The PDEA unit said it coordinated the entrapment operation with the Dagupan police but no operatives of the city police were involved in the arrest of the Bagul couple who were listed as number one and two in the drug watch list in the city.

The Dagupan City Police Station was adjudged 2007 Best City Police Station by the Philippine National Police. #
