MEMBERS of the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) visited yesterday a total of 27 houses in Barangay 22-C at Boulevard as the Oplan Tokhang (Toktok, Hangyo) continued.

Tokhang seeks out suspected drug pushers who are visited and asked to stop their activities.

Senior Supt. Ronald M. dela Rosa, DCPO director, spearheaded the house-to-house visit with the Sta. Ana Police Station commander Supt. Caezar Cabuhat and Barangay 22–C chieftain Edwardo Milliondaga on Tuesday starting around 9 a.m.

Cabuhat said only 27 houses of the 38 on the list were visited, after the other alleged drug pushers voluntarily approached the authorities. He added that there were 19 persons who submitted themselves for a talk.

“Na bisita namo sagad

So far, wala ta’y ingon na, na arrest or ni surrender jud (We visited all who we intended to visit. Luckily, there were many who voluntarily approached us. So far, we have not arrested nor has anyone surrendered),” dela Rosa, in a separate interview, said.

Dela Rosa added that there were no untoward incidents during the visit on the barangay. He added that the residents were very cooperative on the matter.

Dela Rosa said they would resume their Oplan Tokahang in barangays along Quezon Boulevard in the coming days. He added that Tokhang will continue until the city is declared as drug-free.

A total of 10 areas have already been visited.
