00:16Always be the first in the news of Beya Penlak Exclusive.
00:19Arrested is a fisherman who was voted out for selling illegal drugs to his fellow fishermen.
00:27This 48-year-old man has not been released.
00:32He was arrested in Barangay Tanza, Navotas on a warrant of arrest for selling illegal drugs.
00:40There were no illegal drugs from him at that time.
00:44But he was being taught by a large group of drug addicts in Navotas.
00:50According to the police, the group's parishioners are fishermen.
00:56They usually use boats so that the police can't catch them.
01:02They cross over to other places in the nearby city of Navotas.
01:07That's why it's hard for us to find out where the suspect is hiding.
01:13The accused has been hiding in the law for more than two years.
01:17It's a long-term casing and surveillance operation.
01:21It's just to check the time of the boat he's riding.
01:26Because they are usually at sea and the boat he's riding is different so that he can't be caught.
01:32According to the police, the group's leaders, including the man, were first arrested.
01:38But this did not stop the drug possession.
01:42The accused was also involved in various crimes such as theft and robbery.
01:49When the high-ranking members of the group were arrested,
01:53he knew how to sell the transaction because he's from the lower class.
01:58He continued the transaction of the group.
02:00There are many other cases where the complainants are afraid of him and they don't demand anything.
02:06The man who was arrested admitted that he's been using illegal drugs for more than a decade.
02:13But he denied that he sells drugs.
02:15I just use it but I don't sell it.
02:19I need it when I'm fishing.
02:23Why do you need it?
02:25I need it for my health.
02:31The suspect is facing charges of violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
02:37This is the first news.
