Davao Region’s PDEA regional director, Atty. Benjamin Gaspi, reported no active drug syndicates, laboratories, or narco-politicians operating in the area. The statement comes after a recent sweep by law enforcement agencies. Gaspi emphasized that current operations have not uncovered any organized drug networks or political figures involved in drug trafficking.
The assessment follows a coordinated effort by local police and anti-drug units to clean up the region. No arrests or seizures were announced during the operation. Gaspi noted that while drug use remains a concern, the presence of active criminal networks is not currently evident.
This follows months of increased police presence and public awareness campaigns in Davao. Authorities have previously targeted known drug traffickers but have not yet made major breakthroughs. The latest report suggests that the region may be experiencing a temporary lull in drug-related activities.
