19 PDEA informants get P16M cash reward for anti-drug tips
The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) awarded over P16 million in cash rewards to 19 civilian informants whose tips led to high-impact anti-drug operations.
Eight informants received their rewards at the PDEA national headquarters, while the rest claimed theirs at regional offices.
The rewards were given under PDEA's Operation: Private Eye (OPE), an incentive program encouraging citizens to report illegal drug activities.
PDEA Director General Undersecretary Isagani R. Nerez stated that the informants' contributions led to 22 major operations that dismantled drug networks and resulted in arrests.
Dangerous Drugs Board Chairman Secretary Oscar F. Valenzuela commended the informants and law enforcers for their work, acknowledging the personal risks involved.
Valenzuela emphasized the need for broad public participation in the national anti-drug campaign, grounded in human rights and public safety.
