Surigao del Norte Rep. Robert Ace Barbers asked government anti-narcotics agencies to intensify the campaign against illicit substances during the election campaign period “as drug lords, narco-politicians and their henchmen are expected to intensify their operations.”
“I am urging officials of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency , the Philippine National Police , the National Bureau of Investigation, and other government anti-drug agencies not to let their guard down and instead intensify the anti-illegal drugs operations during the election period,” he said. Barbers also called on the Bureau of Customs to intensify its intelligence and enforcement operations to prevent the entry of illegal drugs.
Earlier this week, the Philippine National Police launched the Anti-Illegal Drugs Operations through Reinforcement and Education , the final phase of its Oplan Double Barrel anti-drug strategy.
