Together, we will continue to fight illegal drugs and criminality, ensuring a safer Central Luzon for all.”
The arrest of 17 HVIs represents a significant blow to drug syndicates operating in the region. PBGen Fajardo added, “These arrests are a strong message to drug syndicates that we will not relent in our fight against illegal drugs. We are intensifying our collaboration with local government units, communities, and other law enforcement agencies to ensure that these illegal substances do not reach our streets.”
