The Philippine National Police announced that its “recalibrated and bloodless” anti-illegal drugs campaign has led to the seizure of P20.7 billion worth of narcotics this year even as law enforcers try to keep the use of force to a bare minimum.
Marbil explained that the Marcos administration’s anti-drug campaign targets mainly high-value individuals while ensuring the protection of suspects’ rights and affording them due process. “This extraordinary achievement is a testament to our focused operations against high-value individuals in the illegal drug trade. Our commitment to a calibrated anti-drug campaign, which puts a premium on human rights, has proven that we can dismantle drug syndicates without unnecessary loss of life,” Marbil said.
“I commend our police officers who put their lives on the line to ensure that no illegal drugs make their way into our communities. Their sacrifices and dedication are instrumental in safeguarding our citizens and dismantling the structures of drug syndicates,” the PNP chief said of police personnel.
