Moncada, Tarlac – – He betrayed the people who voted him. He deserves to rot in jail.
Thus, said PSSupt Ritchie Posadas on the arrest of Barangay Mabini Kagawad Gasa Baldonado Vallejos in a police entrapment operation.
Posadas, Tarlac Police Provincial Director, said Vallejos is a “newly discovered High Value Target (HVT)”.
HVT is a police term referring to persons involved in illegal drugs but are in the government service, or are with known stature in the community.
Baldonado is the 4th barangay kagawad in the province arrested for peddling shabu. The three were from Concepcion who were arrested when PSupt Luis Ventura, Jr. was the municipal police chief.
“These (barangay kagawads) involved in drugs are real scalawags, they betrayed the people who voted them. They deserve to rot in jail”, said Posadas.
Before the buy-bust operation, Vallejos was the subject of a week-long surveillance which led to his arrest.
Vallejos sold a sachet of shabu to police poseur buyer PO1 Leika Faye Occasion.
Last September 16, Posadas led the province-wide arrest of 29 pushers in a single day wherein 47 sachets of shabu were confiscated.
Under the leadership of Posadas, , from being number 8, the Tarlac Police Provincial Office (TPPO) became number 2 in terms of police operation and accomplishments in the whole of Region 3.
