In its continued efforts to protect communities and suppress illegal drug activities, the Police Regional Office Cordillera Administrative Region (PRO CAR) successfully conducted a weeklong series of anti-illegal drug operations from May 25 to 31, 2026, resulting in the seizure of more than P170M worth of illegal drugs and the arrest of three drug personalities.
According to reports from the Regional Operations Division, PRO CAR carried out a total of 18 operations, consisting of 16 ma*****na eradication operations and two buy-bust operations.
From these operations, PRO CAR operatives confiscated 469,200 fully grown ma*****na plants, 528,180 ma*****na seedlings, 477,700 grams of dried ma*****na leaves and fruiting tops, 3,125 grams of dried ma*****na stalks, and 2.17 grams of shabu, with an overall Standard Drug Price (SDP) of PhP170,680,956.00.
These operations also led to the apprehension of three drug personalities, all of whom were identified as Street Level Individuals (SLIs). The suspects now face charges for violations of Republic Act No. 9165, also known as the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
The most significant accomplishments were recorded by the Kalinga Police Provincial Office (PPO), which successfully eradicated ma*****na plants with an SDP of PhP170,444,000.00, and by the Benguet PPO, which seized illegal drugs with an SDP of PhP232,876.00 and apprehended one SLI.
Meanwhile, the Baguio City Police Office confiscated suspected shabu with an SDP of PhP4,080.00 and arrested two SLIs.
These accomplishments reflect PRO CAR's sustained commitment to combating illegal drugs through intensified operations, strengthened partnerships with partner agencies and communities, and continuous community education and awareness programs, contributing to safer and drug-free communities across the Cordillera region.
