ILLEGAL DRUGS SOLD HERE AT HIGHEST PRICE –P.D. CHAN

CAMP JUAN, Laoag City, May 6– Provincial Director S/Supt. Marlou Chan has confirmed that illegal drugs, being sold in Ilocos Norte, command highest price in the entire Ilocos Region due to the scarcity of supply in the province. Anti-narcotics agents in Ilocos Norte attributed this to the law of supply and demand. When supply is low, demand is great, they said. Colonel Chan did not give details on how much is the prevailing price of illegal drugs now being traded in the province. He vowed to intensify the INPPO’s anti-illegal drug campaign.(bbr)
