CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) has vowed to intensify its campaign as part of its continuing drive against illegal drugs in the country.
PDEA said it also strengthened the implementation of its
anti-illegal drugs strategies, particularly focusing on suppressing supply by
intensifying the conduct of intelligence-driven and high-impact operations,
arrest of top-level drug personalities, enhancing inter-agency collaboration
and strengthening efforts in drug entry points to deter smuggling.
It said some the government’s intensified anti-narcotics campaign
has resulted in the seizure of some P30.9 billion worth of illegal drugs last
year. And through more than 37,000 operations conducted by PDEA and other law
enforcement units, a total of 53,002 drug personalities were arrested.
PDEA said it is also working for drug demand reduction by conducting
National Anti-Drug Advocacy Campaign, forging close coordination with Anti-Drug
Abuse Councils, supporting community-based drug rehabilitation programs, and
intensifying information dissemination to promote a stigma-free campaign.
