Additionally, they demolished 19 drug dens in the Central Visayas, 12 of which were located in Cebu City.
According to Leia Alcantara, PDEA 7 information officer, the majority of the drug supply came from Cebu City, which has the highest concentration of drug dens due to its dense population and closely spaced homes. She emphasized that people from the nearby islands of Visayas and Mindanao are here in Cebu City for work and study.
