South Cotabato Police Director Col. Jemuel Siason said police operatives uprooted some 13,00 of fully-grown marijuana trees worth P2-6 million in Sitio Bong Sbang, Barangay Danlag, Tampakan.
However, suspected cultivator Jimben Sinaya was able to elude arrest before the raiding team arrived.
Siason said the bulk of the marijuana plants were burned in the area, while the remaining plants were turned over to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for proper disposition to support the filing of charges against Sinaya.
“The seizure of the clandestine marijuana plantation was a result of the cooperation of the local community in the government’s campaign against illegal drug,” Siason said.
