In a joint operation of Philippine law enforcements on Sunday, July 3, P900 million worth methamphetamine or "shabu" with no less than 180 kilograms was confiscated in Cagayan.
Work force from the Bureau of Customs Intelligence Group, the Philippine National Police (PNP's) Anti-Illegal Drugs Group (AIDG), Special Action Force (SAF), the Ilocos Norte police provincial office (PPO), Cagayan PPO, and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency grabbed the illegal drugs in a farm in Barangay Culao, Claveria town, Cagayan at around 5:30 pm on Sunday.
In a press conference on Monday, July 4, PNP chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa said the operation was started when an info went on to him even before he was formally named the country's top cop.
Dela Rosa then turned over the information to AIDG chief Senior Superintendent Albert Ignatius Ferro.
No less than "seven dark packs" and "one large blue cooler" containing substances that have all the earmarks of being shabu were uncovered from a vacant lot in Culao town in Claveria town, as indicated by Senior Inspector Ronnie Labbao, information officer of the Cagayan PPO.
The lot was a property of a certain Rene Dimaya. Agents, nonetheless, have yet to decide the syndicate or identities that run the drug ring itself.
As per a source aware of the operation, nearly 180 plastic sacks containing more than one kilo of shabu for each pack were seized. The 7 voyaging packs were purportedly set apart with "Lea D."
Dela Rosa said that the packs of shabu are from abroad and are commonly smuggled onto Philippine shores through adjacent seaside ranges. The drugs are then conveyed to Binondo in Manila.
"Isipin mo ilang bata masisira ng buhay. Ilang tao ang mabubuang nito (Think about what number of kids lives would've been wrecked by these drugs. How many individuals would have been destroyed by these drugs)," Dela Rosa said.
The 180-kilogram pull is among the greatest in history, and the first significant operation under the term of President Rodrigo Duterte and of Dela Rosa.
