The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) announced on Tuesday that it would deploy more than 200 new agents to strengthen its war against drugs.

PDEA Director General Aaron N. Aquino said the 215 new Drug Enforcement Officers (DEO) agents of the anti-drug agency would be deployed to the various operational services and regional offices of the PDEA.

The agents, Aquino said in a press statement, would specifically be assigned to the PDEA’s Special Enforcement Service, Intelligence and Investigation Service, Compliance Service, and to its various regional offices.
