“Binabati ko ang ating masisipag na operatiba na pinamumunuan ng kanilang Hepe sa mas pinaigting na kampanya laban sa droga na nagresulta sa pagkaaresto ng mga suspek at pagrekober ng mga ilegal na droga. Lubos rin akong nagpapasalamat sa ating mga kababayan na sumusuporta sa ating pagsusumikap na tuldukan ang salot na dulot ng paggamit ng ipinagbabawal na gamot. Patuloy po tayong magtulungan, para sa ligtas na bagong Pilipinas," Maranan said.
