A week after a combined task force to lead the war on illegal drugs for the entire Cebu Province started operations, the PRO-7 captured almost 2 kilos of methamphetamine hydrochloride or “shabu” worth P13 million, and arrested more than 100 drug suspects.
AWEEK after a combined task force to lead the war on illegal drugs for the entire Cebu Province started operations, the Police Regional Office in Central Visayas captured almost 2 kilos of methamphetamine hydrochloride or “shabu” worth P13 million, and arrested more than 100 drug suspects, Chief Brig. Gen. Roderick Alba said.
The creation of the One-Cebu Inter-Agency Interdiction Task Force, the official claimed, is a huge advantage to the Philippine National Police organization, the goals of which are aligned with those of Cebu governor Gwendolyn Garcia’s all-out war on drugs and strengthening border security through enhanced collaboration and cooperation among government agencies and stakeholders which all aim for a peaceful, orderly and progressive Central Visayas community.
“I am grateful to the Cebu Provincial Government and to Governor…Garcia—[the province’s drug czar—]for the pouring of support to ‘Team PNP Region 7,’” Alba stated. “We will continue to intensify border-protection measures and better policing strategies against the proliferation of illegal drugs in the region.”
“The first of the nine-day dawn masses celebrated in all Catholic churches, and with the relentless efforts of the police force of Team PNP Region 7, was manageable and peaceful with the help of other government agencies, local security teams, and volunteer groups,” he added. “As we plan, we shape good decisions. I commend my men on the ground for their dedication and diligence in ensuring that all…preparations are organized and focused 100 percent.
