Philippines Marines together with
the police forces scouring Sulu for Abu Sayyaf rebel members stumbled a
marijuana plantation on Maimbung town.
Col. Arrojado, the commander of Sulu
Joint Task Group said that the marijuana plants were uprooted and will be turned
over to Maimbung police disposal.
The discovered plantation was
located at Barangay Patao, Sitio Kabugan.
Commander Arrojado said that the
military is now investigating whether Abu Sayyaf was behind with the illegal
operation in the area.
“The said man hunt operations
yielded 130 grown marijuana plants with estimated value of half million pesos,”
he said.

authorities sent two brigades of soldiers, along with the elite military units in
Sulu to end Abu Sayyaf’s activities.
Since from the start of the enforcement
operation by the Philippine authorities “The Chicken Run Troops,” recovered
15 harboring areas of Abu Sayyaf – four in the surrounding area of Mt.
Sinumaan, five in the Kabotakas Barangay, one in Buhanginan, two in Danag, and
