Bankerohan is City's illegal drug center
By Ben O. Tesiorna
BANKEROHAN is still the most affected barangay in Davao City in terms of proliferation of illegal drugs.
Edgardo Aglipay, deputy director general for administration of the Philippine National Police, said intelligence reports indicate selling of illegal drugs, such as shabu and marijuana, has remained rampant in this area.
Other than Bankerohan, Aglipay said there are also some barangays in the City that have yet to be cleared of illegal drugs even though the City Government has stepped up drive against illegal drugs for the past months.
The police has tapped the cooperation of all barangays in its nationwide campaign against illegal drugs.
As part of its intensified campaign, Aglipay visited Davao City on Wednesday and met with barangay officials here to seek their cooperation in the anti-illegal drug campaign.
Aglipay said he will be doing the rounds soon on various barangays in the City to see if officials are implementing the anti-drug campaign.
Chief Supt. Isidro Lapeņa, police regional director, revealed they have earlier identified about 13 groups responsible for the proliferation of illegal drugs in the region.
He said that of these groups, at least 10 of which have already been "neutralized."
