TITLE:

ILLICIT DRUG TRAFFICKING

RATIONALE:

Law enforcement observes about the illicit drug

trafficking in the country because drug is one of the most
common reason why people committed crime. Illegal
drug trafficking is still the most pervasive drug
activity in the Philippines. Drug traffickers never
stop discovering new and various ways to hide
their illegal transactions and activities.

The Philippines remains a transshipment point and

destination
country
for
large
shipments
of
methamphetamine. Known locally as shabu,
methamphetamine continues to be the primary drug
consumed and trafficked within the country. Philippine
authorities also seized two new psychoactive substances
(NPS) for the first time in 2014. Despite a Philippine
government budget reduction for counter-drug activities,
Philippine law enforcement conducted numerous
successful law enforcement operations that led to large
drug seizures and arrests in 2014. This success was partly
due to intensified interagency cooperation and partnership
with non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Increased
bilateral cooperation also led to successful enforcement
operations against international drug syndicates operating
in the Philippines.
