President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo directed the Philippine National Police (PNP) to work closely with the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).
The President expects that with closer cooperation between the two agencies, will lead to a fiercer war against the drug menace. Arroyo also ordered to strengthen the intelligence gathering network to ensure that drug cases filed by the government against drug lords are backed by airtight evidence. (PIA/Bohol)
