Cordillera, - Philippine National Police Chief Ronal 'Bato' dela Rosa praises Police Regional Office Cordillera for their impressive performance in the anti-illegal drug campaign of the government under the Duterte Administration. 

In his speech last Friday during the celebration of the 116th Police Service Anniversary in Camp Bado, Dangwa, PNP Chief dela Rosa highlighted the fast action of the PRO-COR in making three provinces of Cordillera drug-free, these are Mt.Province, Ifugao and Apayao.

Dela Rosa said only PNP Cordillera was able to declare three provinces drug free in the entire country in contrast with other Police offices that have declared drug free only in the barangay level.

He also thanked other government agencies such as the DILG, DOH, DSWD and PDEA for their non-stop support in the campaign against illegal drug and to their effort in helping the rehabilitation of drug surrenderees in the region.
