MANILA, Philippines — Operatives of the Philippine National Police (PNP) destroyed cannabis or marijuana plants worth P6.33 million in Cebu City.
The marijuana plants were destroyed after the police and the military conducted a joint anti-illegal drug operation in Barangay Adlaon, Cebu City on Saturday, April 9.
Police officers went to the mountain village and eradicated a total of 15,840 stalks of marijuana estimated at P6.33 million.
No cultivator, however, was apprehended during the operation but a person at large is being “closely monitored.”
