Marcos’ Anti Drug Campaign Seizures’ Fewer Deaths

A report from the House Quad Committee reveals details on President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s anti-drug campaign spanning from 2022 to 2024. According to the report, the campaign has resulted in the seizure of illegal drugs valued at P49.82 billion and recorded at least 800 drug-related deaths during this period. The report highlights the significant achievements and outcomes of the campaign, which has been labeled as “bloodless” by some proponents.

President Marcos’ administration has been focused on tackling the illegal drug problem in the Philippines, a challenge that has remained a priority for the country. The campaign has involved extensive anti-drug operations across various regions. These operations have resulted in the confiscation of a substantial amount of illegal narcotics, marking a noteworthy achievement in the ongoing battle against drug crimes.

The figures provided by the House Quad Committee are based on numerous operations conducted by law enforcement agencies. The efforts to curb drug trafficking have led to the arrest of thousands of individuals involved in the illegal drug trade. These arrests are part of a broader strategy to dismantle drug syndicates and reduce the prevalence of illegal drugs in the community.

Despite the notable success in terms of drug seizures, the campaign has not been without controversies. Reports of drug-related deaths have raised concerns among human rights groups and activists. The number of deaths, although lower compared to previous years, still remains a contentious issue. Critics argue that even a “bloodless” campaign should aim to minimize casualties as much as possible.

The administration has defended its approach, emphasizing the importance of maintaining law and order while addressing the drug crisis. Officials have stressed the need for a balanced approach that focuses on both enforcement and rehabilitation. Efforts have been made to integrate rehabilitation programs for individuals struggling with drug addiction. These programs aim to provide support and treatment to help individuals reintegrate into society.

The House Quad Committee’s report also sheds light on the collaborative efforts between various government agencies in the fight against illegal drugs. The campaign has involved the coordination of multiple law enforcement bodies, including the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA). These agencies have worked together to carry out operations, gather intelligence, and ensure the successful execution of anti-drug initiatives.
