KORONADAL CITY- Two men were arrested by Koronadal City Police on Tuesday for using illegal drugs.
Reynaldo dela Vega and Julio Balmatero, Jr. were arrested after they were caught in the act of using illegal drugs.
Police said they received information about the two suspects, prompting them to go to Dela Vega's house.
Recovered from the suspects were two sachets of suspected shabu, suspected marijuana, and various drug paraphernalia.
Dela Vega sustained bruises on his face after trying to evade arrest.
Both suspects denied they were using illegal drugs when the police arrived. Police Superintendent Barney Condes, however, said Dela Vega's neighbors started monitoring his activities after he admitted to using illegal drugs.
"Kasi maraming support group sa atin ngayon na concerned citizen na, may hotline kasi tayo eh, so, pag may information, aksyunan kaagad natin 'yan," he said.
The City Anti-Drug Abuse Council Officer, Dr. Glorio Sandig, expressed disappointment with Dela Vega for failing to resist illegal drugs after he surrendered last July.
"Dala-dala pa siya ng tatay niya, tapos eh, in-assure kami ng tatay niya na hindi na babalik. Pero 'yun pala, ito nga nagkaroon kami ng tip," he said.
Cases of violation of the Dangerous Drugs Act will be filed against Dela Vega and Balmatero.
