ILOILO CITY – A drug dealer who had previously spent 10 years in prison was arrested in a buy-bust operation on Tuesday night in Pototan town in Iloilo.
The raiders found at least P2.3-million worth of shabu from Ryan Ace Pendon Jallorina in an operation conducted by joint operatives from three enforcement agencies in Igang village.
According to Lt. Col. Mark Anthony Darroca, chief of the Police Regional Office-Reg 6’s Police Drug Enforcement Unit-6, Jallorina was found in possession of 350 grams of shabu, making him a high value drug personality.
Jallorina was previously arrested in 2009 for a drug charge but was released from jail in December 2020.
The 41-year old Jallorina apparently went back to the illegal drugs trade big time.
“His mode of transaction is thru text and chat messages and upon confirmation of his customer he immediately delivers the item,” said Darroca.
On Tuesday night, RPDEU-6, together with the Pototan Municipal Station and the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG-Iloilo), launched an operation that led to the arrest of Jallorina who will be back in jail.
Brigadier General Flynn Dongbo, PRO-6 director, lauded the police operatives.
“This accomplishment is a clear display of your utmost commitment and dedication to our campaign against illegal drugs,” said Dongbo.
“I urge you to intensify our fight against illegal drug trade," he added.
