BUKIDNON NEWS | VALENCIA CITY BUKIDNON – An alleged drug pusher in Valencia City, Bukidnon was recently nabbed by authorities. By virtue of a search and seizure warrant issued by RTC 10 Judge Josefina Bacal, the joint team composed of Valencia City police and the intelligence section of the provincial police command nabbed alleged drug pusher Mark Derwin Jove alyas Tapoy Babela, 22.
Babela is a resident of Purok 2, Poblacion Valencia City. The team raided the house of Evilla Babela and allegedly found the suspect there.
According to a police report obtained by Bukidnon Online, a plastic sachet containing white crystal believed to be shabu as well as several drug paraphernalia were recovered from the suspect. Cash amounting to P134,000 was also seized.
While it’s good to know that the Valencia City police is doing its share in cracking down drug pushers, I think it’s worrisome to note that suspects are getting younger and younger these days. Mark Derwin is only 22 years old!

I suspect that the arrest of certain JOVE is again a product of publicity because the City Police and the City Mayor in under fire for a rampant illegal drug trade in Valencia City to be specific the Area of Fernando (Purok 2), the area of Kabaw (purok 12).
