PHILIPPINE Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) and PNP operatives uprooted and subsequently burned P8.4 million worth of marijuana plants in Tinglayan town in Kalinga.
Authorities swooped down at the marijuana plantation in Barangay Buscalan last Tuesday during a marijuana eradication campaign and completed the operation the following day.
“The marijuana plants were discovered in a single plot of land measuring approximately 2,800 square meters,” PDEA said.
“All the plants were uprooted and burned on site,” PDEA added, referring to the 42,000 fully-grown marijuana plants found in the area.
PDEA said no cultivator was arrested during the operation.
In Benguet, PDEA operatives arrested two marijuana dealers in a sting operation in Barangay Betag in La Trinidad town last Monday, PDEA also reported yesterday.
