OVER P244 million worth of illegal drugs were seized during the conduct of anti-narcotics operations in Central Visayas since January 2025.
In a report released Monday, March 17, Central Visayas Police Regional Office Director Brigadier General Redrico Maranan said a total of 35,927.64 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu), with an estimated value of P244,307,952, and marijuana worth P179,694 were recovered in various operations from January 1 to March 12.
These operations resulted in the arrest of 1,922 drug suspects, including 124 "high-value" individuals in 1,688 operations.
"This achievement would not have been possible without the hard work and sacrifice of our law enforcement personnel and the continued support of the public,” Maranan said. (TPM/SunStar Philippines)
