- Alias Angkol, ‘Top 7’ drug suspect, arrested
A TOP seven high-value target in Davao City was arrested in a police operation in Palcata Drive, Barangay Vicente Hizon, on Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2025.
The operation, led by the Davao City Police Office (DCPO), also resulted in the confiscation of approximately P272,000 worth of suspected shabu.
The operation to catch alias Angkol was a collaborative effort of the City Drug Enforcement Unit and City Special Operations Group (CSOG), along with the Regional Police Drug Enforcement Unit XI, the City Intelligence Unit, Police Station 4, and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency XI.
Meanwhile, DCPO acting director PCol Mannan C. Muarip reiterated the police’s commitment to fighting illegal drugs.
“To those who dare poison our communities with illegal drugs: your days are numbered. We will hunt you down wherever you hide, we will dismantle your networks piece by piece, and we will put you behind bars,” Muarip said.
He emphasized that no amount of influence, money, or power would shield them from the full force of the law.
Muarip also praised his personnel for their dedication, urging them to continue their relentless efforts. He underscored that their mission is not just about enforcing the law but about protecting families and ensuring a safe and secure future for Davao City.
