BACOLOD City – Police vowed to “eradicate” illegal drugs in Negros Island Region.
“With our Project Double Barrel and Oplan Tokhang, we hope to neutralize and put behind bars all pushers and rehabilitate users,” Police Regional Office 18 spokesperson Chief Inspector Dianne Grace Catedral said.
In a meeting with mayors in Malacañang on Wednesday, President Rodrigo Duterte said Negros Island Region was the third most drug-affected region in the country.
A local newspaper report quoted Mayor Frederick Francis Palanca of Victorias City, Negros Occidental as saying, citing Duterte, “NIR (Negros Island Region) came in third with 90 percent of its barangays affected.”
National Capital Region topped the list, followed by Central Luzon.
A Metro Manila-based mayor told Panay News similar information.
“We are asking the help of the community because the war against drugs is not the responsibility of the Philippine National Police (PNP) alone. It is a shared responsibility between the PNP and the community,” Catedral said./PN
