The Philippine National Police (PNP) destroyed more than P16 million worth of marijuana plants and dried stalks at a communal forest in Benguet. According to a statement Thursday, the PNP said 3,500 fully-grown marijuana plants and approximately 130,000 grams of dried marijuana stalks worth an estimated P16.3 million were destroyed between 3:40 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday. “Under EMPO, mas maayos na planning, mas mabilis na aksyon, at mas malinaw na resulta sa ground. Kapag nagtutulungan ang PNP at PDEA, mas ramdam ng publiko ang epekto,” he added. If we are able to assist the PNP and PDEA, the public can feel the effects better.)
