|November 14, 2024
The drug war under the administration of President Marcos has netted P40.32 billion worth of illegal drugs, the Philippine National Police (PNP) reported yesterday.
Up to 31,059 kilos of shabu, marijuana and the party drug Ecstasy were seized by police from July 1, 2022 to Nov. 2, 2024, the PNP said.
From Jan. 1 to Nov. 2, 2023, police confiscated illegal drugs weighing about 16,624 kilos valued at P19.29 billion.
The PNP said 140,722 drug suspects were arrested in 112,300 police operations, with 49,621 suspects arrested in 2023.
The PNP, however, did not disclose data about suspected drug pushers who were killed in shootouts with anti-narcotics operatives.
PNP chief Gen. Rommel Francisco Marbil has ordered police commanders to intensify the campaign against illegal drugs, but reminded them to observe human rights.
