A SUBSTANTIAL amount of illegal drugs hauled, seized and confiscated by the PNP and PDEA are being recycled for the past 20 years.
This fact was revealed by an asset/informant of the two agencies who admitted being given “basura”, street lingo for shabu, by anti illegal drug operatives of the two agencies every time they make a bust based on his tips. The amount varies from 30% of the haul up to us much as 70%.
Surigao del Norte Representative and Chairman of the House Comm on Dangerous Drugs condemned this illegal practice and promised to unearth more evidence and name names in the succeeding hearings.
“The testimony of the asset confirmed what we have heard all this time. The illegal practice of giving substantial portions of the drugs seized now has a face. In due time, if evidence warrants, criminal charges will be filed,” Barbers said.
“We will not stop until we have unmasked all these crooks in uniform who have doomed so many lives to live in luxury,” Barbers added.
