CEBU CITY, Philippines —Several industries may go back to business under the general community quarantine (GCQ), but not those in the illegal drugs business, the Department of Interior and Local

“Habang lumuluwag na ang quarantine levels sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa ay siya rin namang paghihigpit ng kampanya laban sa iligal na droga. The DILG and PNP will work double time in maintaining the drop of the crime rate in the country that was achieved during the stricter quarantine period,” Año said.

During the quarantine period, Año claimed that drug syndicates were “paralyzed” while more informants offered the local police information on drug activities. Año said the DILG will see to it that their momentum on their anti-narcotics activities will be sustained even after the quarantine period. With “lack of supply” during the quarantine, Año also claimed that some drug dependents have been forced to withdraw from the illegal drug use.

Año called on the public to use the quarantine period to “renew” their lives, distance themselves from drugs and the peddlers and instead use their money for their family’s needs amid the economic crisis brought by the coronavirus disease pandemic. /bmjoThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
