The government’s anti-drug reporting platform, “Isumbong Mo Sa PDEA”, continues to strengthen the campaign against illegal drugs by encouraging citizens to confidentially report drug-related activities and personalities to authorities.
From July 1, 2022 to April 30, 2026, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) received thousands of reports through the platform, demonstrating sustained public participation in the national anti-drug efforts under the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
Data from the monitoring and reporting system showed that PDEA received a total of 3,681 anti-drug information reports from concerned citizens.
Of these, 780 reports were validated through proper verification and intelligence assessment procedures.
Among the validated reports, 672 resulted in successful negation operations, translating to an 86 percent operational success rate.
PDEA said the figures reflect the agency’s strengthened focus on intelligence validation, inter-agency coordination and prompt operational response.
The agency likewise emphasized that while public participation remains vital in supporting law
enforcement efforts, not all reports received yielded positive results after validation and
assessment.
“Despite these challenges, our operatives ensure that every report is treated seriously and undergoes thorough evaluation to guarantee lawful, accurate, and intelligence-driven operations,” said PDEA director general Undersecretary Isagani R. Nerez.
“While we encourage the public to continue sharing information, we also remind everyone to provide accurate and verifiable details. Reliable information greatly improves our ability to conduct timely and effective operations,” the PDEA chief emphasized.
PDEA reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening intelligence validation mechanisms, protecting the confidentiality of informants and sustaining collaborative efforts with communities in addressing the illegal drug problem.
Moving forward, the agency is expected to further enhance its digital reporting systems and strengthen coordination with local stakeholders in support of the national anti-drug campaign.
The agency encouraged the public to continue supporting anti-drug initiatives by responsibly reporting suspicious activities through Isumbong Mo Sa PDEA hotline numbers: 0995-354-7020 and 0932-027-8212.
