Authorities confiscated PHP107.76 million worth of illegal drugs and arrested 120 suspects in nationwide operations conducted from June 4 to 11, 2026.
In a news release on Sunday, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Director General Isagani Nerez said that 78 operations were carried out across the country during the period.

Of those arrested, 72 were identified as drug pushers, while eight were alleged drug den operators. All suspects will face charges under Republic Act 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act.
