UNIVERSITY, COLLEGE TEACHERS MONITORED

NEGROS Oriental police are now focusing on teachers in universities
and colleges in Dumaguete City who are allegedly using illegal drugs
locally known as shabu.

Provincial Police Director Melvyn Ramon Buernafe confirmed there is an
ongoing surveillance on some teachers who are hooked on illegal drugs.

The provincial police director said they received several reports
about university and college professors who are illegal drug users.

Buenafe refused to reveal the names of the teachers saying this might
jeopardize the ongoing surveillance and investigation.

The surveillance was made after Task Force 24 arrested two professors
from Silliman University; one is a casual while the other is no longer
connected with the university.

Buenafe said law enforcers are not singling out Silliman University
but it just so happened that those they apprehended were teachers of
the school.
