CEBU CITY, Philippines — In view of the upcoming elections, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency said it will intensify its anti-illegal drug operations to deny syndicates of logistics that they may use to support certain politicians. Leia Alcantara, PDEA-7 spokesperson said that their operatives have been doubling their efforts in intercepting illegal drugs in the region despite the noted drop of drug supplies here.
The agency recorded a reduced volume of drugs in Central Visayas after scoring major drug interceptions in the National Capital Region totaling more than a ton of ‘shabu’ worth P6.8 billion. Alcantara said that from January to August 2020 they seized a total of 116, 395.6 grams of illegal drugs which is a far cry from their current haul for the same period this year of 63, 751.33 grams .
