Marcos highlights PHP62B shabu seizure in bloodless drug war

President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. highlighted the success of his administration's anti-drug campaign, noting PHP62 billion worth of shabu seized over the past three years.

During a visit to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in Quezon City, Marcos inspected nearly PHP8.9 billion worth of drugs recovered from coastal areas by local fisherfolk, marking the largest drug haul in Philippine history for the last six-month period.

The president emphasized that these seizures have saved many Filipinos from addiction and overdose, praising the public's role in prevention and rehabilitation efforts.

Marcos stressed a peaceful approach to drug enforcement while maintaining aggressive law enforcement at all levels, from syndicates to street-level pushers.

He noted that despite adopting a less violent strategy, the government is beginning to see positive results, describing it as a 'bloodless war on drugs'.

The president reaffirmed his commitment to continuing this new anti-drug policy, which he believes is yielding good effects.
