Pinagkalooban ng monetary rewards na nagkakahalagang P200,000 hanggang P700,000 ang 6 na drug informants ng Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) noong Lunes.

Ayon sa PDEA, ang pagbibigay ng reward sa mga drug informants ay upang mahikayat ang publiko na makiisa sa pagbibigay ng impormasyon na makatutulong sa mga anti-drug operations ng awtoridad.

Sakop din umano ng Dangerous Drugs Board under Regulation No. 5 Series of 2003 ang naturang reward system.

Pahayag pa ni PDEA Deputy Director General for Operation Gregorio R. Pimentel, “I firmly believe that the information that you have shared with us is not only because of your need for monetary reward rather the exasperation from the lingering drug problem led you to be involved in government’s anti-illegal drug problem.”

Samantala, dumalo rin sa naturang rewarding ceremony sina PDEA Director General Wilkins Villanueva at Surigao del Norte Representative Robert Ace Barbers.

Nasabat ng awtoridad ang mahigit P15-million halaga ng hinihinalang ecstasy tablets sa Central Post Office, Quezon City noong Martes nang hapon.

Sa pagtutulungan ng Bureau of Customs NAIA, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), at NAIA Inter-Agency Drug Interdiction Task Group (NAIA-IADITG), nakumpiska ang 9,243 ecstasy tablets o party drugs na nakalagay sa tatlong parcels na may label na “baby clothes,” “handbag and shoes,” at “clothes”.

Inaresto ng awtoridad ang claimant ng naturang parcel na sina Michael De Guzman at Rowena Canapit. Si Canapit ay authorized representative ng consignee na si Glory Joy Buzeta.

Ayon sa record, sina Agner Buzeta at Victor Martis ang nag-ship ng mga produkto mula sa Netherlands.

Nadiskubre ang ecstasy tablets dahil sa kahina-hinalang resulta ng x-ray sa mga parcels kung kaya’t nagsagawa ng 100% physical examination ang awtoridad.

Pahayag naman ng Bureau of Customs (BOC), “The said discovery and seizure of illegal drugs were promptly coordinated with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for the conduct of controlled delivery operation against the consignee and other responsible individuals for possible prosecution for violation of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 in relation to Section 1401 of the Customs Modernization and Tariff Act.”
