 During yesterday’s weekly Fernandina Media Forum held at Club Filipino in San Juan, Ele said the stepped up campaign of police and the other anti-drug authorities has cut the supply of illegal drugs, especially shabu.


However, since drug syndicates have started using floating drug labs, authorities have had difficulty tracking them.

Speaking at the Fernandina Media Forum in  San Juan the other day, PDEA Director Anselmo Avenido said there are several indicators that would prove their claim of success.


"We could say we are succeeding since, at the moment, shabu now is very scarce. In fact, the price of shabu has gone up to 5,000 or more per gram from P2,000 after we were able to cut the supply," Avenido said.

                    [Summary] => Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force (AIDSOTF)  chief Director Marcelo Ele Jr. has revealed that drug syndicates have resorted to  "cooking" shabu on private yachts sailing on the high seas.


 During yesterday’s weekly Fernandina Media Forum held at Club Filipino in San Juan, Ele said the stepped up campaign of police and the other anti-drug authorities has cut the supply of illegal drugs, especially shabu.


However, since drug syndicates have started using floating drug labs, authorities have had difficulty tracking them.

                    [Summary] => The chief of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) said the government has been winning the war on illegal drugs.


Speaking at the Fernandina Media Forum in  San Juan the other day, PDEA Director Anselmo Avenido said there are several indicators that would prove their claim of success.


"We could say we are succeeding since, at the moment, shabu now is very scarce. In fact, the price of shabu has gone up to 5,000 or more per gram from P2,000 after we were able to cut the supply," Avenido said.
