“The guy who used to peddle shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) and earned two thousand pesos per day could be seen begging the chief of police for a bowl of rice to feed their families,” a police officer who asked anonymity told Northern Watch Newspaper.
Superintendent Neil Miro, this City’s chief of police (COP), said that even the wives of these former peddlers succumbed into prostitution to meet economic end.
“During the heyday of the illegal trade at Sitio Aling, you can even see bystanders there with toy dog breed’s Shih Tzu. Where did they get the monies in buying and feeding those pets?” the same police source posed.
Miro said that to mitigate the impact of unemployment, he already talked with friends in  the construction business in Manila and Pampanga to employ the jobless males in Aling.

“Actually, madami silang magta-trabaho. May kausap ako sa Manila lahat ng hinde magta-trabaho diyan, ipapadala ko sa Manila. Kausap ko contractor, iyong mga breadwinners para foreman, laborers. May pinadala akong initial apat sa Pampanga,” Miro, who was assigned as chief of police before in that province, stressed.
Last August, two cadavers were thrown by unknown assailants near the entrance of Sitio Aling known as “Little Tondo” of this city that scared the wit off of the residents there who immediately pledged their support to the police’s dangerous drug’s war.
 Superintendent Miro said that a certain Cayabyab, a notorious narcotics dealer, and a lady dope dealer Onging were murdered early of August.

 Sitio Aling, a part of Barangay Pantal here was known not only as lair of narcotics peddlers, but that of snatchers, and killers.
