The city government of Davao has shown that it is serious in the implementation of the liquor ban as the Davao City Police Office (DCPO) and Vices Regulation Unit (VRU) continue to apprehend more violators.From March to June, the two offices apprehended a total of 196 individuals for selling and drinking alcoholic beverages.
DCPO head Police Colonel Kirby John Kraft said that concerned citizens, who reported on violators, also played a role in the arrests.“We received tips from various Davawenyos that led to the arrest of these individuals. We actually encourage more Dabawenyos to inform us if they see people violating the liquor ban,” Kraft said.
VRU head Dr. Ashley Lopez said that they have been monitoring online sellers of alcoholic beverages, who have proliferated when the liquor ban due to the pandemic was implemented on April 6.
“Naa lang gihapon gahig ulo labi na mga alcoholics who desperately find ways to drink to satisfy their cravings,” Lopez said.Lopez and Kraft issued warning anew against other possible violators that they too will be arrested. CIO
