BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
A local court meted two drug peddlers life sentences after they were found guilty of selling and possessing shabu in 2012.
Regional Trial Court Branch 30 Presiding Judge Crescencio Tan Jr. slapped Juryn Lambojon, of Bantayan, Dumaguete, with two life sentences, while his companion, Amado Batomalaque, was sentenced to life imprisonment, and an additional 12 to 14 years.
They were also fined P500,000 each for selling shabu, in violation of Section 5 of Republic Act 9165, and P400,000 for possessing several sachets of the prohibited drug.

ENVOY SAYS Filipino sailors in Portugal have been registering for the 2016 election through the “Akyat Barko” project, Philippine Ambassador to Portugal Philippe Lhuillier, said. He said he boarded the Queen Elizabeth recently, where 450 Filipino sailors work, and about three weeks ago, 309 of them have already registered. “It’s amazing that many of them are surprised when given the opportunity to register and vote, and this was tested in the last elections where about 8,000 Filipinos have exercised their right to vote,”Lhuillier, who visited Negros Oriental last week, said. |
