SAGADA, Mountain Province -- Fully grown potted marijuana were discovered near the backyard of a hotel here on June 21 by students from Baguio City who reported it to local cops.

The students who were on an educational trip and billeted at George Inn/Hotel at Sitio Dao-angan, Barangay Dagdag promptly reported this to Sagada chief of police Insp. Benedict Del-ong who was having a conversation in front of the hotel with Supt. David Peredo, regional police training director of the Cordillera Administrative Region Training School.

Immediately, Del-ong called a briefing and coordinated with barangay officials and members of the Philippine Drug enforcement Agency to verify the information.

Responding policemen confiscated ten fully grown potted marijuana plants and 20 seedlings valued at P7, 500.

Local police are still trying to identify the owner of the illegal plants and seedlings.

Confiscated items were brought to the provincial investigation and detection management branch at the provincial police office in Bontoc town.

Provincial police headed by Senior Supt. Forunatot Basco Albas regularly conduct police operations against illegal drugs.
