The spokesperson of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) bared that drugs confiscated by authorities in Bohol are going to be burned at a later date.

Leah Alcantara, the spokesperson of PDEA 7, in a radio interview over Newsmakers ug Uban Pa on Oct. 11, 2022, said that drugs from Bohol were turned over by the Philippine National Police forensics team to PDEA Central Visayas on Oct. 4, 2022.

Bohol authorities turned over more than a kilogram of shabu and 788 grams of marijuana.

The turned over drugs were not linked to any identified drug suspect, thus no cases were filed in court.

She said the drugs may be burned “before the year ends”.

The drugs will be destroyed via incineration which can be done only in a facility which is located in Cebu.

She added that the lack of a crematorium in Bohol is the reason there is a need to transport the confiscated drugs to Cebu.
