Col. Adrian Acollador, chief of the Iloilo police, said most of the drug personalities in the province are newly-identified and were recruited by suppliers outside the region in an attempt to revive their drug operations.

“We cannot allow them to waste the gains of our barangay drug clearing programs. We have to be on guard and stay determined to make Iloilo province as drug-free,” he said.
