‘PUSHER’ NABBED IN ARGAO
A MAN was arrested on suspicion of peddling shabu in Argao town, southern Cebu, on Friday.
Nelson Remoroza alias “Bulldog” was arrested in a buy-bust operation in barangay Looc by agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Central Visayas (PDEA-7) shortly after he allegedly sold a P300 pack of shabu to a poseur buyer.
Another pack of suspected shabu was recovered from Remoraza after the arrest.
PDEA-7 agent Von Rien Tecson said their Manila office directed them to monitor Remoroza because he was believed to be a level 2 drug pusher capable of disposing more than 200 grams of shabu a week.
In an interview, Remoroza admitted selling drugs but said he was a small-time pusher who could only sell P5,000 worth of shabu per week.
He said he was forced to sell drugs so he could send his three children to school./CORRESPONDENT CHITO O. ARAGON
