THE Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) said that its project of posting “drop boxes” in the villages (barangay) to allow the public to report on drug suspects would cost P500 million.

“That would be P500 million. That was the same as last year’s budget when we weren’t able to start right away with the project. Early this year, we used the budget left for the project from last year,” DILG Officer-In-Charge Catalino Cuy said on radio on Wednesday.
