Dagupan’s “Little Tondo” straightens after two junkies' corpses displayed

By Mortz C. Ortigoza

DAGUPAN CITY – It took only two cadavers thrown by unknown  assailants near the entrance of the “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.
I.D. Dagupan City’s Chief of Police Niel Miro shows the identification card he designed for 
the members of the Task Force Anti-Illegal Drugs as they watched 24 hours a day seven days 
a week Sitio Aling, known as lair of murderers and narcotic peddlers, in the City.
Upon Miro’s assumption of office in August 1, the residents of the slum nestled in the city 
proper gave their unconditional cooperation with him to fight criminalities.

Superintendent Neil Miro, the new chief of police here, said that after 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, known as lair of narcotics peddlers, snatchers, and killers became a peaceful place. "It was miraculously been likened to the nearby Church of Lady of Manaoag Shrine in Manaoag, Pangasinan, a radio broadcaster, who asked anonymity, quipped.
Aling had been an armpit of this generally peaceful city after previous chiefs of police could not solve the vileness of the place.
After Onging was murdered, residents there trooped by riding five public utility jeeps to the office of Miro that alerted his policemen.
He thought the 70 residents of Sitio Aling would retaliate after their two fellow residents were murdered.
“Sabi nila susuko na po kami (We are going to surrender),” Miro said.
Security precaution in mind, the chief of police asked his men to separate the men and women from the slum at the function room at the third floor of the police station where they were gathered.
 The 1997 member of the Philippine National Police Academy did it before he started the dialogue because many of the menacing looking men have tattoo all over their bodies.
