Manila, Philippines – The Ozamis city policemen seized a
total of P112 million worth of illegal drugs that are believed to have been
hidden by Parojinog family.
The said drugs were believed to have been hidden after the patriarch
of the family, Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog was killed.
Police Inspector Jovie Espenido said that the said illegal
drugs were “old” and brought out now that the family needs money.
“That was an old supply. When I went to Ozamiz, they hid it.
They only brought it out now that they are looking for money considering their
father is dead,” said Ins. Parojinog in a radio interview.
A P32 million worth of drugs were confiscated from three suspects
linked to the Parojinog clan on the first raid on Tuesday.
Inspector Espenido who led the raids, identified the
suspects as Butch Merino, Melden Rabanes (the first cousin of Vice Mayor Nova
parojinog), and Roselyn Walohan.
A firearm and magazines were also confiscated from Merino.
Meanwhile, in a follow through operation, 10 kilos of shabu
worth of P80 million were seized from suspects namely; Melodina and Gaudencio
Malingin, and Michelle Gumapac.
On July 30, 2017, Mayor Reynaldo Parojino and his wife
Susan, and 14 others were killed in an anti-drug operation led by Inspector Jovie
Espenido. The suspects reportedly fired at the police while about to serve the
warrants.
Mayor Parojinog’s daughter, and vice mayor of Ozamis was captured
and detained together with her brother, Reynaldo Parojinog Jr.
This achievement of PNP came after President Rodrigo Duterte
signed the Memorandum last December 5, allowing the Philippine National Police
(PNP) to reenter the war against illegal drugs with Philippine Drug Enforcement
Agency on the lead.
