CAMP TOLENTINO, Bataan – A suspected drug pusher who traveled all the way from Metro Manila was shot and killed after being lured into a drug sting and resisting arrest in the municipality of Orion.

The Bataan police said Jojo Gorayeb, of Naic, Cavite was shot dead by members of the Intelligence Branch of the Bataan Provincial Public Safety Company (PPSC) and Philippine National Police - Orion under the direct supervision of Chief Inspector Eduardo Guevarra Jr.

In his report to Sr. Supt Benjie Silo, Bataan provincial police director, Guevarra said his team conducted an antiillegal drugs operation in Sitio Bangad Brgy. Sto. Domingo, Orion.

The said buy-bust operation was arranged thru the aid of a confidential informant who established the initial contact with the suspect who is involved in drug pushing, said Guevarra.

"The suspect arrived onboard a passenger bus from Manila to trade with our police poseur buyer waiting at a waiting shed at Sitio Bangad, Sto. Domingo, Orion, Bataan,” Guevarra said.

“But before the transaction was made, the suspect noticed the presence of policemen and pulled out a handgun and fired at our police poseur buyer, prompting other police officers to shoot the suspect which resulted in his instantaneous death." added Guevarra.

Recovered from the fallen suspect were a loaded .38 caliber revolver without serial number , a heat - sealed transparent plastic sachet containing shabu, a brown wallet with P208 cash and two identification cards bearing the names Joel Gorayeb and Jojo Gorayeb.
