                    [Title] => PDEA chief says gov’t winning war on drugs
                    [Summary] => The chief of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) said the government has been winning the war on illegal drugs.


Speaking at the Fernandina Media Forum in  San Juan the other day, PDEA Director Anselmo Avenido said there are several indicators that would prove their claim of success.


"We could say we are succeeding since, at the moment, shabu now is very scarce. In fact, the price of shabu has gone up to 5,000 or more per gram from P2,000 after we were able to cut the supply," Avenido said.
