This was what Director Levi Ortiz of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in Central Visayas suspects after their series of buy-bust operations led to the confiscation of millions worth of suspected shabu. Ortiz said that poverty was also one of the main reasons why there would still be illegal drugs that would reach areas despite the risks and chances of getting caught along the way.
For now, Ortiz said that they were monitoring shipments that were coming from the Metro Manila since based on their investigation with the recent big operations, some of the items were traced all the way to Manila.Ortiz said that they were also tailing personalities that were reported to have been involved in new drug groups.
