Alleged drug personality shot dead by 2 motorcycle riders

An alleged drug personality was shot dead by two motorcycle-riding men in front of his house in Quezon City, Friday night.

Members of the Quezon City Police District Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit identified the man as Jerrick Tabardilla, 37, of Barangay Batasan Hills, Quezon City.

Investigation showed that Tabardilla went outside their house on Kalusugan St. corner Kaunlaran St. with his wife Amielyn to buy cigarettes.

When Amielyn went back inside, two men onboard a black motorcycle appeared and shot Tabardilla at close range killing him on the spot.

The gunmen passed by Amielyn before they fled the scene toward Kalusugan Extension bringing with them the gun they used.

A sachet of suspected shabu was found in the possession of Tabardilla along with pieces of empty shells.

Victim's relatives admitted that Tabardilla was involved in illegal drug trade. (Alexandria Dennise San Juan)

Five drug personalities arrested in separate drug sting ops in QC

Five drug personalities, including a couple, where arrested in separate drug sting operations in the same neighborhood in Quezon City over the weekend.

First to fall in the hands of Novaliches Police Station (PS-4) were identified by its station commander Superintendent Carlito Grijaldo as Ariel De Guzman, 52, and his wife Rodora, 50, residents of Barangay Sta. Monica, Novaliches, Quezon City.

Grijaldo said Ariel has been the subject of a joint preoperation of the Quezon City Police District Drug Enforcement Unit and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency which showed he is involved in illegal drug trade.

When they confirmed Ariel’s illegal activity, members of PS-4 drug enforcement unit were dispatched in the suspect's residence inside Geronimo Compound at around 5 p.m. to conduct a buy-bust operation.

Police Officer 1 Sherwin Bumagat, who posed as a buyer, with their informant, went inside the house of Ariel where they carried out the deal.

Ariel instructed the police poseur-buyer to give the payment to his wife, Roda. Upon transaction, arresting police officers immediately collared the unaware couple.

Eleven sachets of suspected shabu, some drug paraphernalia and the P500 marked money were seized from the two.

Four hours later on the same compound, PS-4 anti-illegal drug operatives also conducted a drug sting operation against a certain "Nine," who police said is a known drug peddler in Novaliches.

However, upon reaching the suspect's residence, they were instead faced by Sarah Baldon, known as "Pada," 22, and Arvin Salandanan, known as "Taguro," 18, as "Nine" cannot attend the transaction due to unknown reason.

When the deal was consummated, police officers immediately apprehended the two, as well as Kevin Peralta, 22, of Barangay Nova Proper in Novaliches, who had just bought drugs from Salandanan.

Confiscated from the arrested drug suspects were 11 sachets containing suspected shabu and the marked money.

Nabbed drug personalities will be facing drug-related charges while police are conducting manhunt operations against "Nine." (Alexandria Dennise San Juan)
