A 20-year old woman was arrested in Boracay Island by
operatives of Aklan Provincial Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group
(PAIDSOTG) and the Boracay Tourist Assistance Center (BTAC) on Friday
afternoon.
In a buy-bust operation, the operatives seized 31 sachets
of suspected shabu worth P45,000 from Neslie Estropegan, native of Barangay
Feliciano, Balete, Aklan at around 5 p.m. in Barangay Balabag.

“Ang items ginabagsak direkta sa iya kag ginabaligya niya
sa mga tour guides kag iban nga ga trabaho sa isla. May salig gid siya sa
police asset ta kag didto gid siya namon nadakup sa Balabag,” according to BTAC
investigator Police Officer 2 Lovely Joy Raut-Raut.
“Kaina lang nag successful ang operation sang police
asset. Nagtext ang suspect na amo lang na ang nabilin na supply niya diri,” she
added.
During the sting operation, Estropegan allegedly tried to
flee but she was cornered by operatives in the area.
Also recovered from the suspect’s possession were her
mobile phone, P1,000 marked money and pera padala receipts of the drug
transactions.
Last December, PAIDSOTG and BTAC also apprehended her
live-in partner in a buy-bust operation in Boracay Island.
Prior to her arrest, Estropegan worked as a waitress in a
restaurant and temporarily staying in a boarding house in Sitio Ambulong in
Barangay Manoc-Manoc.
The suspect is detained at BTAC lock-up cell pending the
filing of charges for selling and possession of illegal drugs.
Violations under Republic Act No. 9165 or the
Comprehensive Dangerous Acts of 2002 will be filed at the Aklan Provincial
Prosecutor’s Office against Estropegan in Kalibo, Aklan.
