Vice Mayor Daniel Farinas said the marijuana bricks and other processed products of marijuana plants were duly exhibited in Courts to prosecute the suspect-couriers.

The ceremonial burning was part of the activities of the week-long observance of "Anti-prohibited drugs Week" here and the rest of the region.

According to Police Chief Superintendent Benjamin Magalong, regional director of the Police Regional Office Cordillera (PROCOR), the bricks were part of the total volume of marijuana confiscated in various plantation raids and buy bust operations in the area since September 2010 to September 2011.

Magalong lauded the participation of the Cordillera communities in the eradication of the sources of marijuana in the area which in the past proved to produce good quality of the "grass".

Farinas, on the other hand, thanked the students who have started to take part in the education campaign towards the elimination of the drug problem here and the rest of Cordillera urban centers. - (Phil. Star)
