SADANGA, Mountain Province — Authorities torched down about P12 million worth of marijuana plants in a joint operation on Saturday, along the boundary of Saclit, Sadanga and Tinglayan, Kalinga.

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency-Cordillera Administrative Region (PDEA-CAR), with police units, found around 60,000 fully grown marijuana plants spread across a 5,000-square-meter plantation.

PDEA said they buried the ashes of the marijuana plants following proper disposal procedures.

No one was arrested, but authorities are working to identify those behind the plantation. — Artemio A. Dumlao
