MASSIVE ANTIDRUG CAMPAIGN SET IN NORTHERN LUZON
Manila PHI'LIPPINES DA.ILY EXLRESS in English 20 Sep $0 p 3 "
~Text~ Camp Dangwa, Benguet--A three-pronged approach to comhat drug
abuse will be launched shortly throughout Northern Luzon by 14 government
agencies led by the Philippine Constabulary and Integrated National Police
(PC-INP).
Col. Valeriano Perez, deputy PC-INP regional commander, said the campaign
~aill be conducted following the signing of a memorandum of agreement Uy
the agencies concerned.
The government agencies adopted three-pronged strategies, namely:
--Conduct preventive education campaign targetting parents and other
sectors.
--Intensified a.aw enforcement activities through the machine of the PC-INP
regiona.l command and other agencies, and
--Rehabilitation of persons apprehended for drug abuse.
Perez said tha.t sin~e 1978 the joint PC and INP has confiscated ~ome _
P28 mi.llion worth of mari~juana and other dangerous drugs from seven prov-
inces in Northern Luzon.
"While we are proud to have accomplished this much, i~ is not an indication,
however, that more marijuana is produced in the region than others. Perhaps
we have more efficient police system than the other regions," said Perez.
Perez said targets of the antidrug campaigns by various gover~ent agencies
are parents to prevent their children from falling victim of drug pushers.
- He saiu ~Liat assuming that the PC-INP recorded about 99 percent efficiency
in the prsvention of drug abuse based on the number of apprehensions, there
are still about P200,000 worth of marijuana. planted in the market.

CHILDREN, AGES 4-12, INTOXICATED BY VALIUM
Santiago LA NACION in Spanish 1 Sep 80 p 1-C
[Text] The poisoning of 14 young girls between the ages of 4 and 12 from
the Divine Providence Home caused excitement in the Los Andes Aospital
yesterday. The girls ingested various doses of Valium as well as other
medicines that belonged to a girl under treatment.
There are several different reports of the case which alarmed the
community and the 40 girls who live in this home for girls in irregular
circumstances located at General del Canto 790, in Los Andes.
In the Hospital -
The physician on duty at the hospital, Juan Carlos Ferrer, reported that
at 0900 hours the 14 girls entered the hospital with slight symptoms of
poisoning. At that time, nine of them were hospitalized and three had
their stomachs pumped. The others were resting comfortably and were
under observation until 1700 hours. However, two girls, Elba Castillo, 12,
and Maria Carolina Serrano, 11, remained in the hospital as a result of
taking the medicines.
Dr Ferrer indicated that their condition was not serious, but that
they would stay in the hospital until they were co~pletely recovered.
The doctor told us that the reports of the case are unclear, and that
each girl took about 10 to 20 milli.grams of the drugs, a's well as
concentrated vitamin~ and antfdiarrhea drugs.
The Girls' Reports
The girls in the hospital had differing explanations of the case. One of
them, Elba Castillo, said that she had taken seven pills because an older
girl threatened to hit them if they did not. She said~that she had a
bad stomachache and that she had taken the pills by twos because they
tasted good.

Carol_ina Se;-rano said that she i:otmd them in a locker where the resid~nts'
nightclothe:; are kept, and they spilled onto the floor, where she could
not keep the other girls frcnn eating them because they were diffErent
colors.
Sister Sar1, nf tha Order of tll~ Transfiguration of the Lord, who has been
in charp,e of the Home for sev~~ra1 years, said that the incident occurred
- because of the carelessn~sG of a uiothex who left her daughter a package
of drugs without telling any of the nuns or monitors of the home.
"Apparently," t;:e sister said, "the girls found the package in the
dormitory, an~i rook the pills without anyone seeing them. Thank God we
realized in time from the loolc of one of the girls, and within half an
hour we had th~m all in the hospital.~'
The strikino thing about the incldent was that none of the girls' fathers
came to tlie hospital after the news was released, as the~majority of the
girls were abandoned by their fathers.

MARIHUANA SMUGGLING RING CAPTURED, IMPRISONED
Police Chief's First Blow
Nuevo Laredo EL DIARIO DE NUEVO LAREDO in Spanish 4 Sep 80 Sec B p 3
- [Text] After having taken office as co~ander of the Judicial Police, Jose
_ Isiordia Jimenez and group chief Narciso Estudillo Cerezo, broke up the
first "gang" of drug traffickers, managing to cap ture seven persons and
seize 298 kilograms of marihuana.
This first blow took place in the settlement of Los Angeles, in the muni-
cipality of Ciudad Miguel Aleman, Tamaulipas, where the seven individuals
in custody were smuggling well-packaged marihuana to the United States in
a boat. There, a person whom they identified as chief was waiting for the
drugs to take them farther north in the neighboring country.
They are Leopoldo Barrera, aged 23, Lucio Estrada, aged 45, Jose Sifuentes,
aged 39, Antonio Sanchez, aged 42, and Matilde Saucedo, aged 39, all from
the aforementioned settlement, and Jesus Narvaez and Raul Ramirez, aged 16
and 18, respectively, both from Miguel Aleman.
It was claimed by the Federal Judicial Police that these individuals had
- already smuggled thousands of tons of marihuana in the aluminum boat, and
that they carried out their operations two or three times a week.
The~identity of the "gang's" chief could not be given in order to prevent
his escape from justice, because a group of agents is pursuing him.
~ The account released indicated that the drug traffickers were attempting
to smuggle the 16 bags in the aforementioned boat.
The individuals in custody are of uncouth appearance, and are involved in
the business because of the pressing need to obtain support for their
f.amilies.

Innocence, Torture Claimed
Nuevo Laredo EL MANANA in Spanish 11 Sep 80 Sec D p 5
[Text] Using the by now co~monplace system of arguing torture, and denying R
their connections with the drug traffic, seven presumed.drug traffickers
claimed innocence upon making their preliminary statement to the third
district judge. The head of that court will decide today on the legal sratus
of the accused.
The defendants answer to the names of Leopoldo Barrera Garcia, Lucio Estrada
Soria, Jesus Nevares EsL-rada, Jose Sifuentes Lara, Raul Ramirez Ibarra,
Antonio Sanchez Ulloa and Matilde Estrada Lopez.
They all claimed to be entirely innocent, while at the same time arguing
that the Federal Judicial Police tortured them.
They said that they had been.arrested in the United States for not having
papers, and that, when the immigration authorities deported them through
the town of Roma, Texas, they were arrested halfway across the bridge by
the Federal Judicial Police.
The fact is that the narcotics agents arrested them when they were caught
near the river studying the.terrain, so as to take a marihuana shipment
across later. .
Since the drugs were still on Mexican territory., they were turned over to
the Federal Judicial Police, and, when questioned, they confessed that they
had, on the river banks, at the Los Angeles farm, near Miguel Aleman, 16
bags containing 298 kilograms.of marihuana all ready, which they intended
to smuggle to the American side at the instruction of an individual in
" Roma, Texas, for whom they were working.
