TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol (Jan. 24)-–A candidate for Provincial Board member here, who was arrested by operatives of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) on Thursday for illegal possession of drugs, has posted P200,000 bail for his temporary liberty.
Eduardo “Boy Harós” Enerio, 57, a candidate for provincial board member in the first district, yielded large sizes of slightly opened transparent plastic sachet, four pieces medium-sized transparent plastic, one small-sized transparent plastic sachet- -all containing white crystalline substance believed to be shabu, during a raid on his four-storey Honeybee Hotel along L. Borja street on Thursday.
PDEA-7 assistant director Yogi Felimon Ruiz, who led the raid, said the seized illegal drugs weighed more than five grams that could have made the case non-bailable.
But during laboratory tests conducted at the Philipine National Police Crime laboratory, the drugs weighed only 3.9 grams, thus became bailable.
PDEA regional director Randy Pedroso filed charges of possession of illegal drugs, violating Section 11 of RA 9165 against Enerio on Friday afternoon before the City Prosecutor’s Office.
Enerio, through his legal counsel, lawyer Daryll Amante, had filed motion to quash the search warrant and evidence, as he cited loopholes like vague details on the subjects of the raid.

Pedroso personally supervised the raid at the three-storey Honeybee Hotel along J. Borja St.
The PDEA team acted on the search warrant issued by RTC Branch 49 Executive Judge Fernando Fuentes III.
Also recovered at the raid scene were black 9 mm sig sauer pistol bearing serial number B232665, tin foil, disposable lighters, six boxes containing 32 pieces rolling papers believed to be accessories in smoking marijuana leaves, P20,000 cash, long magazine loaded with 15 pieces of ammunition.
Enerio denied being a drug user with his age, nor being a drug pusher with his “financial condition” and that the sachets of shabu were all planted by the raiding team.
He also accused that his first cousin, Mayor Rosemarie Imboy of Loay town and another relative, Lucio Lim Jr., also a businessman, were behind the raid to set him up.
Enerio is scheduled to appear in court Monday for another case filed against him- -murder.
Imboy and husband, PCL-Bohol president Brigido Imboy, had earlier issued separate affidavits that were used by the prosecution against Enerio in the murder case.
Imboy, however, denied any knowledge of the raid the day it was carried out, since she was in Manila then. She also said she could not do it to Enerio, a very close relative. (Angeline Valencia)
