Military units will be supporting the Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agency (PDEA) in its anti-drug operations, said Defense Secretary
Delfin Lorenzana on Thursday.
"One of the marching orders given to me by the
President is to help the PDEA, so we will now have troops (and units) on
stand-by to help PDEA Director Isidro Lapeña in case they encounter heavily
armed drug perpetrators and require support or reinforcement," he said in
Filipino.
Lorenzana said that he has opened all military camps,
especially the big ones, for the establishment of drug rehabilitation centers,
as stated by President Rodrigo R. Duterte in his first State-of-the-Nation
Address (SONA).
Camps under this category are Fort
Magsaysay in Palayan
City , Nueva Ecja; Camp Macario Peralta
in Jamindan, Capiz; Camp
Kibaritan
Lorenzana said these facilities are ideal for rehabilitation
purposes as they have sufficient space for recreation and work, especially for
planting.
