“The war against illegal drugs remains unabated”.

Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Isidro S. Lapeña issued the statement to allay public perception that the intensified campaign against illegal drugs of the government hit a snag following the recent deactivation of all anti-drug units of the Philippine National Police (PNP).

“PDEA will make adjustments in filling the gap left behind by the PNP by tapping other government agencies and the barangays as force multipliers to help in the national anti-drug campaign as provided by law,” said Lapeña.

Fully-grown marijuana plants, with an estimated street value of P6,330,000, were destroyed by combined elements of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Philippine Army (PA) during a marijuana eradication on January 27, 2017.
