PDEA receives 62 drug lists from villages
AT least 62 out of 80 barangays in Cebu City have submitted the lists of drug personalities in their respective areas to the regional Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA-7).
Barangay officials have until today (March 15) to comply with the agency’s directive, PDEA-7 director Yogi Filemon Ruiz said.
“If I were to decide, those who fail to submit the list of drug personalities should face administrative sanctions. I think I just have to let the DILG (Department of Interior and Local Government) act on it,” Ruiz said.
The Ombudsman-Visayas earlier suspended for six months nine barangay officials of Ermita whom PDEA-7 filed administrative cases against.
Ruiz said the officials failed to cooperate with PDEA in a drug raid of a “shabu tiangge” (flea market) located 500 meters from the barangay hall on Nov. 6 last year.
