Shabu supply in Bohol dwindled at the height of the anti-illegal drugs campaign being intensified in the last two months and a half.

The Bohol Police Provincial Office (BPPO) also tracked that all the 47 towns and one city in Bohol are affected by the drug menace. Of the 1,109 barangays, there are 1,071 or 96.6 percent affected by the illegal drugs trade, while only 38 barangays or 3.4 percent remain unaffected so far.

During the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) meeting last Friday, PSupt. Lorenzo Batuan, operations chief at BPPO, reported that the police operations against illegal drugs made headway into “remarkable reduction” of shabu in the province.

“As a direct effect of the Bohol PNP’s aggressive and intensified anti-drug operations, a remarkable reduction in the supply of illegal drugs is seen as drug personalities are felt to have either stopped or abandoned their drug trade in the province,” according to Batuan.

The consolidated report on Project Tokhang presented by Batuan during the PPOC meeting showed that a total of 31,594 of the 31,928 drug personalities who yielded to authorities had participated in the recall or re-engagement program.

For the period, July 1-September 15, Oplan Tokhang teams had visited a total of 22,387 households.

The Oplan Tokhang teams in the entire province had visited 1,052 households listed in the June 30 watchlist baseline, and 21,335 other households or a total of 22,387 households being visited.

From those in June 30 watchlist baseline those who personally appeared or surrendered included 361 users and 392 pushers or total of 753.

Newly-identified personalities included 30,100 users and 1,075 pushers or a total of 31,175 personalities.

The total turn-out reached 31,928 that included 30,461 users and 1,467 pushers.
