CEBU, Philippines- A 36-year old man, who claims to have been instructed by God to plant marijuana in his front yard, was arrested by the police yesterday afternoon at Sitio Cogon, Barangay Labangon, Cebu City.

Elements of Cebu City Public Safety Company (CCPSC) and of the City Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Group (CAIDSOTG) uprooted at least 50 live marijuana plants in the yard of Cicilio Cariñosa.

Rasan Dayopay, 31, who was also in the area in possession of marijuana leaves, was also arrested by the operatives.

In an interview with Superintendent Melbert Esguerra, CCPSC chief, said that they received a report stating that Cariñosa was making a garden full of marijuana leaves in Sitio Cogon.

He added that after receiving the said information, he immediately sent some of his personnel to investigate and conduct surveillance.

During the surveillance, the police saw live marijuana in the garden. The cops immediately sent their report to Esguerra.

Esguerra coordinated with CAIDSOTG to conduct an operation against Cariñosa.

Past 2 p.m. yesterday, operatives from CCPSC and CAIDSOTG raided the garden and caught Cariñosa inside his makeshift house.

After the arrest, the police uprooted all the marijuana plants and brought Cariñosa, as well as Dayopay, to the Cebu City Police Office headquarters.

Cariñosa admitted that he planted marijuana in his front yard. He claims that he was asked by God to plant them for medicinal purposes only to help cure his neighbors’ illnesses.

When he was arrested, Cariñosa pointed to a bottle of water and asked the police if he could drink it.

But when the police got the bottle, they found out that the water also had marijuana leaves in it.

Cariñosa told the police that while reading the bible, he heard a voice that instructed him to plant marijuana because if not, no one would be able to help his neighbors.

Cariñosa added that he will face the consequences and believes that he is innocent, adding that nowhere in the bible mentions planting marijuana is bad.
