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.
