₱17 Million Drug Bust in Davao City: Food Delivery Used in Smuggling Ring

In a significant development in the fight against illegal drugs in the Philippines, authorities have seized ₱17 million worth of narcotics in Davao City. The operation, conducted by the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), uncovered a large cache of shabu and marijuana hidden in a house in Barangay Cabantian. According to Atty. Arcelito Albao, Regional Director of NBI-11, "The caretaker of the house reported the illegal activity to us, fearing for their safety." The drugs were allegedly being transported using legitimate food delivery services to avoid detection. The NBI is now investigating the origin of the drugs and the individuals involved in their distribution. This successful bust highlights the ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region.
