Deretsahan
One time, big time
By Bebot Villar
DUE to super Typhoon Lando, we had to postpone the conduct of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) 2-week seminar for police officers in Pangasinan. Our police participants had been alerted to assist in the disaster management and rescue operations in the province.
However, the campaign against illegal drugs was not interrupted. Amid strong winds and heavy rains, the Dagupan City Police Station’s Anti-Illegal Drug Operatives arrested one suspected pusher. Ito po ay bahagi pa rin ng barangay clearing operations na nabuo sa pagitan nina Mayor Belen Fernandez, Dagupan PNP and other local government units in the city to combat illegal drugs.
Humahanga tayo sa kapulisan ng Dagupan City dahil kahit sa gitna ng kalamidad, ipinagpatuloy pa rin ang kanilang operasyon sa kabila ng kanilang assignment sa disaster management and rescue services.
Congratulations to Col. Christopher Abrahano and his men! Keep up the good works!

As I was writing this column, I received good news from our PDEA Director General and Dagupan City Chief of Police that there were six (6) search warrants simultaneously served in Barangay Bonuan Binloc in Dagupan City.
Very good news talaga ito. Sabi raw ng iba, mainit na daw ang mga mata ko sa Bonuan Binloc at Gueset ng Dagupan City. While I must admit I always point out ang mga barangay na ito dahil talaga namang nakaka-bahala na ang lumalalang problema ng iligal na droga rito.
Finally, seventeen (17) drug personalities including a suspected drug syndicate members and its leader were arrested. Seized were some 300 gms of shabu, six (6) undocumented motorcycles and P111,000.00 drug money from the 6 target houses.
This is a big accomplishment that resulted from collaborative efforts among our law enforcement units. Nagsama-sama ang Dagupan City Police Station, PRO1; Pangasinan PPO; Nargroup Dagupan; CIDG; PDEA; LTO; Naval Intel; RIU; PCG at AFP sa operasyon na ito sa Sitio Silungan, Bonuan Binloc. ONE TIME, BIG TIME!
Kudos!

We received a naughty text message about super Typhoon Lando. Ang sabi sa text, may kinalaman daw ang political issues ng ating probinsiya sa pagdating ni Lando. Dumating raw siya upang bulabugin ang mga boladas na politiko at walang sawang nanloloko sa mga tao! Siguro nga!
On our part, we never get tired reminding our people to be wiser because our votes will have impact on our future. Pag napili ninyo na at na-PCOS na, ‘yun na yun! Wala nang bawian! It cannot be undone.
Dahil kung nagkamali tayo sa ating pagboto at nai-pwesto natin ay isang mapag-kunwari, 6 na taon tayong magdudusa muli! Gusto ninyo ba ‘yun??
We cannot be just plain observers when it comes to choosing our national and local leaders. We must assess the character and accomplishments of the candidates! That is our duty as citizens of our country.
We have to be more discerning in selecting who to vote for. Dahil kung ang kandidato ay power-tripper lang at inaasam-asam lang ay “freebies” ng isang may kapangyarihan, walang karapatan ‘yan na manilbihan sa gobyerno!

Please be reminded that the deadline for biometric registration is on October 31, 2015. I understand, more than 80,000 voters in Pangasinan are not yet biometric-registered! Please take time to go out and go to your nearest local Comelec office.
Please bear in mind that voting is your right of suffrage and duty as a Filipino but it is not one that can be exercised any day.
Sayang naman po ang pagkakataon kung palalampasin! Anyway, this is free. Kailangan lang po ay ang inyong face value at presto, kayo po ay maire-rehistro. If you don’t register this year, borado na ang pangalan niyo as voters. Mahalaga po ang bawa’t boto dahil maaring ito ang maging daan tungo sa isang pagbabago!
