 “Walang pinipiling panahon ang mga tulak at gumagamit ng iligal na droga. Sinasamantala nila ang panahon kung kailan abala ang mga tao sa pag salubong ng bagong taon. Gayunpaman, hindi rin ito pahihintulutan ng kapulisan, hindi napapagod at hindi titigil na sila ay hanapin at hulihin ano mang oras, panahon o okasyon,” said Estomo.
