Statement of PDEA on the order of the President to destroy all shabu evidence

The PDEA will comply with the Order of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to destroy all shabu evidence, residual or otherwise by next week.

Relative to this, we are following up on the issuance of Court Orders for destruction of these pieces of drug evidence pursuant to Office of the Court Administrator (OCA) Circular 118-2020 issued by the Supreme Court Administrator.

Arising from the Senate Hearing on September 29, 2020 we are likewise seeking the guidance of the Honorable Secretary of Justice to issue guidance relative to the propriety of the refusal of some prosecutors to move for or at least conform to the Motion of PDEA for the conduct of ocular inspection, taking of representative samples and subsequent issuance of Court Order for destruction on archived cases or cases under automatic review (involving more or less 540.6 kilograms of shabu).

In the meantime, we can destroy more or less 1 ton of shabu next week.
