As reported by the Sunstar Bacolod on July 9th, here are the reported numbers of drug dealers/pushers who have so far surrendered: - Those who have turned themselves in at Guihulngan City were 475, Sibulan, 467, Tanjay City, 241, San Jose, 165, Bais City, 154, Dauin, 146, Amlan, 145, Bayawan City, 129, Tayasan, 65, Vallehermoso, 60, Zamboanguita, 59, Basay, 56, Dumaguete City, 47, Sta. Catalina, 42, Mabinay and Bindoy, 39 each, Ayungon, 32, La Libertad, 23, Manjuyod, 19, Pamplona, 16, Siaton, 13, Valencia, 8, Bacong, 7, Canlaon City 6, and Jimalalud, 3.
Does anyone else spot something odd about this? Dumaguete has a population of approximately 131,377 (2015 census), yet only 47 surrendered so far. Guihulngan having a population of 93,675 has 475 surrendees. Sibulan with 51,519, having 467, etc etc I think things are going to get fairly hectic pretty soon, within the city boundaries. Coupled with NOPPC Fama being replaced by Camp Crame, for a harder more efficient commander or so one is led to believe.
I'm reminded of the old Chinese curse: - "May you live in 'interesting' times."
