Lumads sell ‘hot’ logs for shabu By CHRIS V. PANGANIBAN

ESPERANZA, Agusan del Sur--Local officials here have blamed indiscriminate logging in the hinterlands villages as the leading cause in the proliferation of illegal drugs among residents that even

involved many village officials. Reports said most of the 1,200 users and peddlers of shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) who surrendered on Tuesday were those involved in alleged rampant cutting of hot logs in the upland villages of

Bunaguit and Salug. Large volumes of logs coming from the timberland areas of these villages have been delivered to a wood processing plant in Dakutan village authorized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Pauline Jaramillo, mu-

nicipal information officer, said the residents hooked on drugs were just victims after they were lured into the thriving logging trade when they were allowed to deliver a contracted 15,000 cubic meters of logs from the damaged felled trees damaged by Typhoon Pablo

It can be recalled that many parents in the city

as well as in other areas in region 9 were hesitant to let their children take the stateprescribed albendazole after false information spread regarding the integrity of the drug. To correct the misinformation, the DOH embarked on an intense information dissemination campaign, especially in the rural areas. “We have worked with the schools to correct the wrong information,” said Dr. Bucoy. The DOH maintains that the drug is very safe and recognized by the World Health Organization. Adverse effects such as stomachaches are common to children who ingest See bucks, page B3

Nur still a fugitive but...

DAVAO City -- The Duterte administration will officially deal with Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) founding chair Nur Misuari, presently a fugitive, only when the effects of the warrants of arrest he is facing are suspended, Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process Jesus Dureza said.

Dureza told Malacanang reporters on Tuesday afternoon that President Duterte phoned Misuari, Monday night after he approved the peace roadmap Dureza presented. He recalled that Duterte “asked that a phone call be made to Chairman Nur Misuari… the conversation
