The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) continues to demonstrate unwavering commitment to its mandate in the national anti-drug campaign, in steadfast alignment with the directives of His Excellency President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr. and his vision of a Bagong Pilipinas — a nation rooted in discipline, order and public safety.
With intensified operations and strategic enforcement, PDEA has conducted a total of 47 anti-illegal drug operations, resulting in the arrest of 53 drug personalities across the country.
These efforts led to the seizure of dangerous drugs valued at P129.64 million, a strong message that the government remains unyielding in its pursuit of a drug-free Philippines.
Coordinated anti-drug operations across 17 regions lead to major drug seizures, arrests, and the destruction of marijuana plantation.
Seized during the operations were:
• 16,449.69 grams of shabu
• 496 pieces of ecstasy
• 13,000 grams of marijuana
• 20,000 grams of kush
• 150.96 grams of dried marijuana stalks
• 72,530 grams of dried marijuana leaves: marijuana plants
• 1 ml of cannabis oil
These numbers are not just figures — they represent lives saved, communities protected and the firm resolve of law enforcement agencies to reclaim the future of the Filipino people from the grip of illegal drugs.
“PDEA remains at the forefront of the national anti-drug campaign, fully committed to the President’s vision of a Bagong Pilipinas, where law and order prevail, and every Filipino enjoys a safe and secure environment,” said Undersecretary Atty. Isagani R. Nerez, PDEA Director General .
“Our operations are a testament to our enduring dedication to a drug-free Philippines, and we will not stop until this goal is fully realized,” Nerez said.
As the administration pushes forward under the banner of Bagong Pilipinas, PDEA stands shoulder to shoulder with other law enforcement agencies, civil society organizations and local communities in the fight against illegal drugs — guided by character, competence, and courage.
