ANGELES CITY -- Suspected drug pushers who surrendered to authorities for “fear” will help in the campaign against illegal drugs.

This was disclosed Saturday by Balibago Chairman Rodelio “Tony” Mamac, who said that the suspects volunteered to help the government in its fight against the drug menace.

“They will help in the campaign against the proliferation and total eradication of illegal drugs not only in Barangay Balibago but in the whole of Angeles City,” Mamac said.

Another batch of suspected drug pushers composed of 25 persons recently surrendered to the barangay officials, according to the village chief.

Earlier, more than 100 persons surrendered following a series of saturation drives and “Oplan Katok” on various drugs dens in the said village.

Mamac warned the suspected pushers to stop their illegal activities and surrender to authorities.

The village chief said they are looking for livelihood for the families of the drug personalities.
