PDEA-11 destroys P16-M ‘illegal drugs’ in Davao City
Authorities in Davao City destroyed over PHP19 million worth of illegal drugs and expired medicines on Monday, December 2, 2024.
The confiscated substances included shabu valued at PHP11.3 million and marijuana worth PHP4.8 million from the Davao region, along with illegal drugs valued at over PHP3.4 million from SOCCSKSARGEN.
Expired medicines worth nearly PHP1 million were also destroyed.
The destruction, conducted at a local thermal facility, was witnessed by officials to ensure transparency and prevent the misuse or recycling of confiscated drugs.
This procedure is mandated by Republic Act 9165, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
A judge noted that while ocular inspection of seized drugs is required by law, it remains a challenge due to the high volume of cases.
