Cagayan drug syndicates employ minors as peddlers

DRUG syndicates in the Cagayan Valley region continue to “employ minors” in their illegal trade of the dreaded methamphetamine hydro-chloride, popularly known as shabu, according to the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).

Juvenal Azurin, PDEA director for Cagayan Valley, said that drug syndicates also resort to car switching and bank-to-bank transaction to avoid detection from authorities.
