Price of shabu to decrease

The price of shabu in Bacolod City is expected to drop, from P500 for every sachet to P200, now that the MassKara Festival is over, City Police Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group head, Supt. Santiago Rapiz, said yesterday.

Rapiz said they expect the price hike of shabu during special occasions because of its minimal supply.

He said the successive apprehensions of suspected illegal drug peddlers in Bacolod in the previous months caused the reduction in the supply of shabu.

Rapiz also said they are intensifying their campaign against illegal drugs in anticipation of more supplies of shabu and marijuana that will be brought to Bacolod during the Yuletide season.*APN

Homicide try raps
filed vs. fake cop

Charges for frustrated homicide and usurpation of authority were filed yesterday before the Bacolod City Prosecutor’s Office against a man who introduced himself as a policeman, went berserk, and stabbed a teenager at the public plaza Sunday.

The charges were filed against Chevylance Ybañez, 22, of Phase 6, Santo Domingo, Brgy. Handumanan, Bacolod, case investigator Police Officer 2 Jared Esquilla said.

Complainant Milton Litsado, 19, of Purok Himaya, Brgy. Mansilingan, Bacolod told the police that he and his neighbors, Tyrone Bellisolion, 19, Rodolfo Monticillo, 31, and Joshua Sante, 25, were having drinks in one of the kiosks at the public plaza at about 1 a.m. Sunday, when his younger brother, Emerson, texted him and asked if he could join them.

Minutes later, he saw his younger brother being boxed by Ybañez, who introduced himself as a trooper of the defunct Police Regional Mobile Group.

The complainant said he stood up and rescued his brother and Ybañez left but came back later with five unidentified companions and hit him in the head with an empty bottle.

The complainant added that he parried one of Ybañez’s companions, who tried to stab him while the suspect’s other cohorts attacked his friends and hit them with empty bottles and mono-block chairs, prompting them to seek police help.*APN
