The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA), together with police units, demolished marijuana plants worth more than P3 million in a remote area of Benguet. The operation targeted a plantation site in Kibungan, where over 18,000 fully grown marijuana shrubs were uprooted.
The PDEA reported that the eradication was carried out swiftly on-site, and the confiscated plants were burned immediately following standard procedures.
