DILG: Drug recycling, reward system shunned under PBBM
Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla stated that President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s administration has successfully ended the practice of drug recycling within law enforcement.
Remulla explained that the previous reward system encouraged operatives to submit only a small fraction of seized drugs, reselling the majority, a practice exemplified by "ninja cops."
President Marcos has ordered the cessation of this reward system and has implemented a policy against stockpiling confiscated narcotics, known as "bodega" operations.
Confiscated drugs are now destroyed through a scientific process involving intense heat to eliminate all narcotic content and prevent recycling.
