Interior execs, police ordered to help in anti-fake drugs drive
INTERIOR and Local Government Secretary Ronaldo Puno has directed regional officials of the interior department and the Philippine National Police (PNP) to join forces with the health department and different local government leagues in cracking down hard on syndicates behind the proliferation of fake medicines in the market.
Puno stressed the need to choke the supply of counterfeit drugs in the market, following reports that such fake medicines continue to be widely available at bargain basement prices, with syndicates often preying on low-income earners
