Chan congratulated the police and promised them cash incentives. But he said he has to wait for the recommendation from the City of Lapu-Lapu Office for Substance Abuse Prevention (CLOSAP) for the amount of the cash incentives that the city will give.
“As usual, we will give them incentives based on the recommendation of the CLOSAP and we will endorse that to the city council for an incentive award to our Lapu-Lapu City Police Office,” Chan said.
Chan hopes the police will be able to find out the identify of the source of the illegal drugs confiscated from the woman.
On May 25, 2022, the police also confiscated a kilo of shabu worth P7 million from Melvin Salazar, a resident of Maribago.
Salazar has already been apprehended twice due to his involvement in illegal drug activities in the past.
