Another arrest — a man who claimed to be a tour guide in the southern Cebu town of Badian — pointed to the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center (CPDRC) as the source of illegal drugs.
The revelation of suspect Willard Capacio, 36, brought attention anew to persistent allegations that some drug peddlers source their supply from some prisoners operating from inside the CPDRC.
Capacio was arrested in Badian town on February 26 (Monday) afternoon in a buy-bust operation conducted by the Drug Enforcement Unit (DEU) of the Badian Police Station.
The arrest yielded four small packs of shabu (crystal meth) worth P2,000 and P500 marked money.
Capacio claimed to be a tour guide operating in Barangay Matutinao, Badian town, located 102 kilometers southwest of Cebu City. Badian is known for its canyoneering activities and Kawasan Falls.
The Municipal Council of Badian has already denied that Capacio is an accredited canyoneering guide in a statement posted by Councilor Mark Andrew Jorolan.
Senior Insp. Bonifacio Pareja Jr. said Capacio told them that he obtained his drug supply from a CPDRC inmate. However, Capacio did not provide the name of the prisoner who supplied him with illegal drugs.
Pareja said they were now coordinating with the Provincial Intelligence Branch (PIB) of the Cebu Provincial Police Office (CPPO) to determine if Capacio’s claim was true.
“We also confiscated a cellphone containing text messages from the alleged supplier. But we cannot give further details since it has been forwarded to the PIB. We also do not want to preempt our follow-up investigations,” Pareja told Cebu Daily News on Tuesday.
The Badian police had been monitoring Capacio since January 2018 after receiving an anonymous tip from a resident in Barangay Matutinao that he was peddling illegal drugs in the area.
“We conducted a validation for the next three weeks before our drug enforcement unit arrested him. But during our validation, we started to receive numerous complaints about his activities,” Pareja explained.
The suspect is currently detained at the Badian Police Station and will be facing charges for violating Sec. 5 of Republic Act (RA) 9165 before the Cebu Provincial Prosecutors Office today (February 28).
Jail management
CPDRC, which first became operational in 2004 during the administration of former governor and now Cebu Third District Rep. Gwendolyn Garcia, was designed to accommodate 1,400 prisoners. However, the December 2017 population count revealed that it now houses 3,691 inmates, double its capacity.
The detention facility rose to fame from 2006 to 2008 as the home of the dancing inmates.
It is now marred with issues such as jail guards conniving with inmates and criticisms from Garcia over incumbent Gov. Hilario Davide III’s alleged ineptness in keeping things in order.
In October 2017, 10 jail guards and two jail personnel accused to be in cahoots with those smuggling contraband and prohibited drugs into the jail were placed under a 30-day preventive suspension by Davide . They resumed work by Nov. 13, 2017 but remained under investigation by the Capitol’s Committee on Discipline and Investigation (CODI).
Also in 2017, five major and one minor greyhound operations yielded illegal drugs such as methamphetamine (shabu), prescription drugs and drug paraphernalia; electronic gadgets such as mobile phones, DVD players, tablets and laptops; cash, a passbook containing at least P300,000 and bank transaction receipts; and tally sheets of Suertres and lists of code names, number combinations and bet money.
