BY GILBERT BAYORAN
More than P500,000 worth of suspected shabu was recovered by the police in two successive anti-drug operations yesterday in Himamaylan City and Isabela, Negros Occidental, that also led to the arrest of 13 suspects, Police Supt. Antonietto Canete said yesterday.
Canete, who is the Himamaylan City police chief and head of the Provincial Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group in the 5th and 6th districts, said their buy-bust operation and subsequent follow-ups at Purok 6, Brgy. Aguisan, Himamaylan City, led to the arrest of 12 suspects, for violation of RA 9165, or the Comprehensive Drug Act of 2002.
It also yielded an estimated 75 grams of suspected shabu with a street market value of P450,000, assorted shabu paraphernalia and a .38 caliber revolver with ammunition, he added.

Will Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. of the United Negros Alliance be unopposed in 2016?
Vice Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson admitted yesterday that there are two opinions among Love Negros members – one that they should allow the governor to finish his third term and those who say they need to field a challenger in 2016.
Lacson confirmed that the position not to oppose the governor is being studied.
Marañon, when asked for his reaction to the Love Negros move, said “very good, thank you”.

Dumaguete barangay
hikes clearance fees
BY JUANCHO GALLARDE
Officials of B arangay Poblacion 3 in Dumaguete City exercised the taxing power of the local council and increased the fees for the issuance of the barangay clearance from the old rates fixed more than 10 years ago.
Barangay Captain Anthony Ozoa said the rates were approved during a public hearing Saturday at the barangay hall, attended by businessmen and other stakeholders.
Under Barangay Ordinance No. 1, series of 2015, the rate for the issuance of the barangay clearance for market stalls, including sari-sari stores and other small peddlers at the city public market area, was placed at P100, while for commercial establishments, the rate is P300 per issuance..
