BY BOY RYAN B. ZABAL

BORACAY – A buy bust operation on Saturday evening yielded a suspected drug pusher in the island resort, the police said.
Glenn Deslate, 26, a resident of Tigayon, Kalibo, Aklan, was collared by the Provincial Intelligence and Special Operations Group (PISOG) of the Aklan Police Provincial Office (APPO) in Barangay Manoc-Manoc cargo port.
The buy bust operation was conducted in coordination with the Boracay Special Tourist Protection Office (BSTPO) chief of police Supt. Rolando Vilar.
The anti-drug police operatives recovered from the suspect one brick of suspected dried marijuana leaves, ten pieces of P100 bill marked money, one pack in calendar paper containing dried marijuana leaves, two pieces of small sealed plastic sachets of suspected methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu, a matchbox containing two sealed plastic sachets of suspected shabu, stainless bread knife, cellphone, passport and a disposable lighter.
Aklan police director Senior Superintendent Epifanio Bragais, Jr. also confirmed the arrest of the suspect in a buy-bust operation carried out by members of PISOG.
The suspect is facing criminal charges for violations of Section 5 and 11 of Republic Act No. 9165 otherwise known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
Chief Insp. Aden Lagradante said the recent buy-bust was their second successful operation for this year to crack down illegal drug trade in the province. Last month, the police led by SPO4 Clemencio Nava, Jr. also apprehended two suspects - husband and wife from Capiz - in New Buswang, Kalibo, Aklan for illegal possession of prohibited drugs.
Meanwhile, APPO arrested 29 drug pushers and users and filed 37 cases in court in its relentless campaign against illegal drugs last year.
