Police authorities in South Cotabato have launched a manhunt
against two men who maintained a marijuana plantation in the upland town of Lake Sebu
Chief Insp. Joey Bagaygay, Lake Sebu
More than 100 marijuana plants were seized in Sitio Takul,
Barangay Talisay in what police described as well fortified and beautifully
intertwined with corns and other crops.
Bagaygay said concerned citizens alerted the police about
the existence of the plantation which they said was repeatedly visited by armed
men.
According to Bagaygay, the suspects have been under police
surveillance for illegal drug pushing in nearby town of Surallah
Carmen, North Cotabato ,
Moro rebels who earlier vowed to help the Duterte administration get rid their
communities of illegal drugs and marijuana, made its promised fulfilled Friday.
In a statement, the MILF said it destroyed more than three
hectares of marijuana plantation in Barangay Tupig, Carmen, North
Cotabato .
The cultivators who were not around during the rebel raid
remained unidentified.
According to the MILF, crime incidence was high in areas
around or near the marijuana plantation like murders, robbery and rape. So they
decided to investigate and traced the crimes to high cases of marijuana use.
The more than 3,000 marijuana plants were burned by the MILF
and photos of which were forwarded to the government and MILF peace panels for
documentation.
