Commentary: How to fight the drug trade in Davao City
Posted on August 18, 2010 by durianpost The recent raid by police elements on drug dens along Quezon Boulevard is an eye-opener: despite the government’s vigorous campaign against illegal drugs, the reality is that drugs are here to stay with us.
Drug use is a social menace that devils in the form of drug lords and drug pushers capitalize on to make a dirty pile.
In a fast-growing, large metropolis like Davao City , vigilance by police and the public may not be enough to stop the drug business with a ready clientele and pushers willing to provide the stuff.
Why is there shabu and marijuana distribution in city whose government is known for its iron-fist policy of sending the demons to kingdom come?
Let us count the ways.
Sometime ago, the local office of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) reported that it has identified the Cotabato provinces as one of the major sources of shabu coming into the city.
With the slaughter of chink-eyed foreigners running a shabu laboratory several years ago, there is no doubt nobody could have dared setting up another one here.
So, PDEA’s story could stand: shabu flows down to the city from the neighboring provinces.
We heard this story from a friend in the anti-narc unit of the police a while ago. Their records of arrest speak about couples—we coined a term for that, Couples in Drugs, a spin-off from the Catholic lay group Couples in Christ—arrested together bringing stuff aboard buses or passenger vans coming from Cotabato. To add more, their records show about 80 to 90 percent of those arrested squealed about getting their supply from that place.
Rather than raiding drug dens inside the city, police should strengthen its campaign along the supply route if it wanted to stop the flow of drugs altogether.
We suggest anti-drug checkpoints should be set up between Davao City and Cotabato.
Here are tips: If the drug courier is riding a bus, inspect the old tevee or component he is bringing. The stuff is right in there.
Watch out for the passenger vans which today zoom past police and military checkpoints without inspection. They are the favorite of the Couples in Drugs who do nothing but regularly travel with the drugs to and from Cotabato without a hassle.
Shabu dens could sprout anywhere in the city if supply reduction is outside of the police radar. Like mushrooms, drug pushers spring if when there is something to sell.
And while we are in this, we might as well these questions: Why are passenger vans from Cotabato not inspected for drugs despite police knowledge that forsaken place is a major source of shabu? Do we smell connivance? Why are owners of the vehicles allowing the demons to ride the vans with the stuff? Are they part of the racket?
With the Couples in Drugs posing as traders carrying goods hidden with drugs traveling on the passengers vans everyday, we should not wonder why buying shabu in the city is as easy as buying a candy from the neighborhood store.

A judge in Davao City who sent two drug pushers to prison with life sentences has been highly praised by the government’s anti-drug agency.
But Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) region eleven director Roybel Sanchez also praised the Dabawenyos for their continuing vigilance against illegal drugs.
Judge Romeo Albarracin of RTC Branch 9 has found 50-year old Nonilo Mondejar, a resident of Digos City, Davao del Sur guilty of violating Section 11 and Section 12 of Republic Act 9165 or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
The judge also slapped a similar sentence on Anisa Said, 37, married, and a resident of Pag-Asa Bankerohan, Davao City.
Both were fined P500,000 for the offense.
Mondejar was arrested in possession of shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) in a buy-bust operation conducted by members of the Bunawan Police Precinct headed by Chief Inspector Desiderio Cloribel on April 14, 2004 at Quirino Avenue corner Magallanes Street, Davao City.
Mondejar, later found positive for drugs in tests, yielded four sachets of shabu weighing 16.8250 grams and drug paraphernalia, including ammunition for .45 caliber pistol and .9mm pistol during the police operation.
Said was arrested for selling 1.4734 grams of shabu to PO1 Roeline Magallano and SPO1 Bienvenido Furog, both members of the Philippine National Police detailed at Heinous Crime Investigation Section (HCIS) who mounted the entrapment operation last July 3, 2003 at Peter Pan Bake Shop, Ilustre Street, Davao City.
