The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency has partnered with Lalamove Philippines Inc. and Lala App Philippines Inc. to suppress drug trafficking using online door-to-door delivery services and applications.
Director general Wilkins Villanueva signed the deal with April Dannah Majarocon, Lalamove Philippines Inc. managing director.
“There are instances where accredited delivery service drivers have unknowingly become conduits of the drug trade by accepting delivery orders from persons engaged in illegal drug trafficking,” Villanueva said.
Lalamove Philippines Inc. vowed to cooperate and coordinate closely with PDEA to report suspicious packages and assist in its effort to eliminate the illegal drug trade by implementing policies on drug-free workplaces in its premises, and to ensure that their accredited delivery service drivers were not involved in illegal drug activities.
