Camp BGen Vicente P Lim- PNP CALABARZON Regional Director PBGen Jose Melencio C Nartatez Jr, orders deeper investigation on the involvement of active cops in illegal drug trade after they were caught selling 1.4 million worth of shabu during a buy bust operation in Brgy. Salitran 2, Dasmariñas CIty, Cavite, Wednesday morning, February 1.

Reports confirmed that roughly 210 grams of shabu valued at P1,431,600.00 were confiscated from 4 High Value Individuals (HVI), 3 of which are active police officers and a female suspect.

According to authorities, a report from confidential informant was received in which a certain alias “Lian” and her cohorts are responsible in the proliferation of illegal drugs in Dasmariñas, Cavite and adjacent Cities and Towns. Acting on said report, authorities conducted series of surveillance operation which confirmed said information. Immediately, the combined operatives of PNP 4A Regional Drug Units, Cavite Provincial Drug Enforcement Unit and Dasmariñas City Police Station, in coordination with Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency 4A, conducted buy-bust operation that led in the arrest of the suspects and confiscation of shabu weighing 210 grams, mobiles phones, short firearms, live ammunition and monetary bills used as drug bust money.

Suspects were identified as Jorilyn Magnaye Ambrad, alias “Lian”, 22; Police Corporal Christian Arjul Dayrit Monteverde, 35; and Police Staff Sergeant Tomas Celleza Dela Rea Jr., 34. All suspects are residents of Dasmarinas City Cavite and are listed as High Value Individuals. The 2 active police officers are members of Dasmarinas City Police Station Drug Enforcement Unit.

Meanwhile, a hot pursuit operation was also conducted by Dasmariñas CPS to arrest the other suspect who managed to flee during the previous operation. Officers apprehended Patrolman Jeru Magsalin Set, also a member of Dasmariñas City Police Station Drug Enforcement Unit.

“I already directed the Cavite Provincial Director to immediately conduct follow-up operation and thorough investigation to unmask this drug group which involves the active police officers. I will never let them drag the image of the organization. This illegal act undermines our efforts to combat the drug problem in the country. Such actions are reprehensible and those involved must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law,” RD Nartatez said.

Meanwhile, drug suspects are now under the custody of Dasmariñas CPS, criminal complaints for violation of Sec. 5 and 11, Article II of RA 9165 known as Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 and RA 10591 known as Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition against the suspects were filed at the Office of the City Prosecutor, Dasmariñas City.
PBGEN Nartatez said he would never tolerate misfits and police scalawags in the organization especially if members of PNP CALABARZON are involved. “Members of law enforcement who have been involved in illegal drug trade must acknowledge the harm they have caused and take responsibility for their actions. It is never too late to make amends and turn towards a path of righteousness, and we encourage them to seek redemption and atone for their wrongdoing,” he said.
