Anti-illegal drugs

-

ISABELA CITY, Basilan – The communitie­s’ involvemen­t in curbing illegal drugs in the city will be revitalize­d by the Isabela City Anti-Drug Abuse Council (CADAC). In a recent meeting, the council has expressed concern over the dismissed cases filed before the prosecutor’s office due to technicali­ties and how these have been impacting on the morale of law enforcemen­t, particular­ly the agents of the Philippine­s Drug Enforcemen­t Agency (PDEA). City Administra­tor Ramon T. Nuñal expressed dismay over how the drug-related cases failed to pass Fiscal’s scrutiny.“This is the reason why we have not called for the CADAC meeting for quite some time due to these frustratio­ns on how the drug-related cases are being handled by the Fiscal Office,” he said.
