The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) successfully denied entry to a ship suspected of carrying illegal drugs near Mindoro’s coast. The vessel was intercepted just outside the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone amid heavy weather and rough seas. PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan credited international cooperation and inter-agency collaboration for the operation’s success. Authorities emphasized that this move reinforces the government’s strong stance against illegal drug trafficking. Further details remain undisclosed for operational security reasons.
