-DIPOLOG CITY, March 24 (PIA) -- Region 9’s development council has recently met to talk about issues concerning various programs for the development of Zamboanga Peninsula.
+IPIL, Zamboanga Sibugay (MindaNews/26 March) –  Seven alleged drug pushers were arrested in two separate buy-bust operations on March 22 and 23 as part of the “all-out war” against drug pushers in the province.
+Pedrito Suano, provincial director of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), said four persons, including Bonfiacio Abao aka Dondon,  the alleged Number 3 drug pusher in Malangas, were arrested at around 9 p.m. on March 22 in Purok 8, Barangay Ladicha in Malangas.
+Suano, who led the operations, said Abao’s arrest will have a significant impact in the campaign against perceived untouchable drug pushers in the municipality and the entire province.
-Around 50 members of the Regional Development Council (RDC)-9 were here yesterday for their 139th meeting tackling issues and concerns involving the implementation of infrastructure, agriculture, education and health programs in Zamboanga Peninsula.
+“The arrest of  (Abao) will send the message to all those who believe that they are untouchable drug pushers here in Sibugay. We are already launching all-out-war against these drug pushers who deliberately destroy the future of our youth and our communities”, said Agent Suano, PDEA-Sibugay Provincial Head
+Suano said an agent from the PDEA posed as a buyer of shabu and contacted Abao for one heat-sealed plastic sachet containing shabu worth P500.
+The operation led to the arrest of  the 33-year old Abao, from whom three small plastic sachets believed t be containing shabu.
-Regional directors and representatives of the different national line agencies, provincial governments of Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay, city governments of Dipolog, Pagadian and Zamboanga, Ipil municipality of Zamboanga Sibugay and private sector representatives came and attended said conference.
+Also arrested were Lloyd Elisan a.k.a. ‘Nonoy’, 27, of Barangay Sta. Cruz, Diplahan town, from whom one sachet of shabu was seized; Jorlie Alimani a.k.a. ‘Jojo’, 36; and Clio Ledama a.k.a. ‘Lio’, 22, also of Diplahan.
+The next day, March 23, another buy-bust operation was conducted at around 4:30 p.m. in the vicinity of the Imelda Integrated Bus Terminal, in Imelda town.  PDEA agents arrested Luzviminda Salinas a.ka. ‘Luz’, 38, and the Isnani brothers Daud, 28, and Gamal, 30,  all of them residents of  Talusan town.
+Confiscated from Salinas and the Isnani brothers were three plastic sachets of shabu, one from each suspect.
-In a related development, RDC-9 has favorably endorsed the recommendation to increase the travel allowance of government officials and employees from the current P800 per day to P1,900 per day to cope with the rising costs of meals and hotel accommodation.
+Suano said the buy-bust operations gave them enough information that the suspects are linked with a drug syndicate operating in the island municipalities of Mabuhay, Talusan and Olutanga and Payao in the mainland. (Paulnazer  T. Lontua/MindaNews)
-In yesterday’s meeting, RDC-IX chair Mayor Evelyn T. Uy also awarded plaques of recognition to Ms. Velia Santos Ebol, 71, a volunteer affiliated with the Zamboanga Peninsula Women’s Solidarity Foundation, Inc., and the Youth Solidarity for Peace (YSP)-Zamboanga City.
-Ebol was one of the three national awardees of the 2011 Search for Outstanding Volunteers-Individual Category while the YSP was one of the winners in a nationwide search for the 10 Accomplished Youth Organizations for 2011.
-“The best resource of the government is human capital and let us consider the dignity of government employees by giving some comfort during official travels,” said a private sector representative.
-The meeting ended with some updates of the National Greening Program by Director Arleigh Adorable of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-IX. Adorable said DENR-IX was able to surpass its 2011 target having covered more than 1,400 hectares planted with forest, fruit and rubber trees around the region.
