P333-M marijuana farms burned

BAGUIO CITY — Authorities had torched down P332.9 million worth of marijuana from illicit plantations in the mountains of Kalinga and Benguet since Sunday.

Brig. Gen. David K. Peredo, Cordillera police director, said the marijuana plants were discovered and destroyed in six eradication operations in Kalinga and one in Benguet.

Mr. Peredo said he has ordered investigators to find out who were behind the plantations so they could build up cases against them. — Artemio A. Dumlao
