The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) have located and
caused the surrender of Silay
City
The surrendered drug lords, who are in the most wanted lists
of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), was identified as Alain F.
Gamboa, alleged the No. 1 drug dealer in Silay City and Aldrin Orquia Dejelo,
reportedly the No. 3 narcotics pusher in the area.
AFP chief-of-staff Gen. Ricardo Visaya said military units
have tracked down Gamboa, 32, and facilitated the latter's surrender last July
7.
While AFP units located and managed to convince Dejelo, 32,
a native of Mambulac, to give himself up this July 8.
He yielded a hand grenade, a.45 caliber pistol, .380
revolver, various ammunition, and sachets of suspected shabu.
Both men have surrendered three to four kilograms of shabu
with an estimated street value of PHP6-PHP8 million.
The pair were immediately handed to Silay City Mayor Mark
Anthony Golez with the help of the PDEA.
"The significant efforts of the Army units that lead to
the eventual surrender and turn-over of the living persons of the suspected
drug lords, prohibited drugs, and firearms in their possession, are indicative
of the concerted actions of all agencies of government," Visaya said.
"The AFP is a reliable partner of other law enforcement
agencies in curbing, not only criminality but also, illegal drugs and its
derivative problems menacing the country. We are here to support the
President's call for the restoration of the people's faith in government,"
the AFP chief stressed.
