ORMOC CITY— A suspected drug personality classified as a street-level individual voluntarily surrendered to police on Tuesday morning, January 6, following a community-based anti-illegal drugs operation, authorities said.
The individual, identified as alias “Jeff,” 33, unemployed, and a resident of Biliran town, presented himself at the Biliran Municipal Police Station (MPS) in Barangay San Isidro, Biliran, Biliran at around 11:00 a.m.
Police said the surrender came after personnel of the Biliran MPS visited his residence as part of “Oplan Tokhang” or “Toktok Hangyo,” a door-to-door approach encouraging individuals involved in illegal drugs to reform and cooperate with authorities.
After surrendering, the individual underwent standard police procedures, including interview, documentation, mugshot taking, and booking. He also executed an affidavit of undertaking, committing to refrain from engaging in any form of illegal drug activities and to cooperate with the police in their ongoing anti-illegal drug efforts within the municipality.
Authorities said the program aims to promote voluntary reform and strengthen community cooperation in addressing the illegal drug problem at the local level.
