00:00In the operation of the Philippine National Police and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency in a forest in the remote part of Barangay Bayo, Balamban, Cebu, this is what they discovered.
00:25Not less than 3,000 plants of marijuana
00:31In less than one hectare of land in Sitio Kapiawan
00:37More or less, it is worth 1.2 million pesos. We did not reach a resident to face us.
00:46The 3,000 plants of marijuana were confiscated by the authorities.
00:50It is hard for us to remove all the confiscated marijuana from the office.
00:56This is the last time I see this.
00:59We decided to burn the confiscated marijuana.
01:10Look at the other side, there might be more.
01:13The question is, who is behind this marijuana plantation in Cebu?
01:20TNP Balamban
01:25This is when the TNP Balamban started to grow in the plantation after they received a tip.
01:33According to our informant, this is an alleged marijuana cultivation in their area.
01:40This part of Balamban is far from the rice fields and the climate is cold.
01:46This is why it is easy for marijuana to grow here.
01:50According to the information they received, they do not just plant marijuana.
01:56This is sold to those who come to their area.
01:59This is something that the resident, Leslie, has been noticing for a long time.
02:04His name is not his real name.
02:05This is the last time I see this.
02:08This is when the TNP Balamban started to grow in the plantation after they received a tip.
02:11According to the information they received, this is an alleged marijuana cultivation in their area.
02:14This is something that the resident, Leslie, has been noticing for a long time.
02:17This is something that the resident, Leslie, has been noticing for a long time.
02:19To confirm the tip received by the police, they took a sample of Edgar, his real name.
02:27We contacted the people in our group, the people who were involved in the robbery.
02:31We asked them how much they were willing to pay.
02:34They said they were willing to pay.
02:36We asked them how much they were willing to pay.
02:38They said they were willing to pay.
02:40But Edgar has changed.
02:42We were against the robbery.
02:44We were willing to pay.
02:46We did not ask for anything else.
02:48To avoid being caught, Edgar even put plants in his clothes.
02:52We have a lot of plants here.
02:54We have about 15,000 plants here.
02:55We have a lot of plants here.
02:57We have a lot of plants here.
02:59We have a lot of plants here.
03:01We have a lot of plants here.
03:03When all of this was discovered, the operation was immediately halted.
03:09In the area of the authority, under the roof of this copra kitchen,
03:15they also found bags containing the contents of dried marijuana sold,
03:22which is estimated to be worth P40,000.
03:25One kilo of that is worth P25,000.
03:28We saw several marijuanas in their homes.
03:33This is an indication that they are also using drugs.
03:36The PNP already has two suspects.
03:39We heard that they are hiding.
03:42The case they are facing now is Section 16, Article 2 of Republic Act 9165.
03:49Regarding marijuana, if it is more than 500 grams,
03:53that is the punishment of life imprisonment or 40 years of imprisonment.
03:58They can also pay a fine of P500,000 up to P10,000,000.
04:03According to the authority of Barangay Bayong,
04:06the suspects are those who are involved in the planting of marijuana,
04:10possibly foreigners or non-locals.
04:13According to the authority of our barangay,
04:16we will search the area of Barangay Bayong.
04:20In our team's ongoing investigation,
04:23apart from the planting of marijuana in Barangay Bayong,
04:27there is another marijuana farm that was located next to this barangay.
04:34Are the suspects related to the first marijuana farm that was raided by the authorities?
04:44Cannabis Sativa or marijuana,
04:47a plant that has psychoactive properties,
04:50may be affected by the way it is used.
04:55In more than 40 countries around the world,
04:57marijuana use is now legal.
05:00According to some studies,
05:02it has been treated in medicine as a sedative,
05:06especially for seizures such as epilepsy.
05:10Medical cannabis has two substances,
05:13THC, tetrahydrocannabinol, and cannabidiol.
05:17THC has a psychoactive property,
05:20meaning we can use it as a sedative.
05:22Cannabidiol.
05:24THC has a psychoactive property,
05:26meaning it can help us in terms of neuron transmission,
05:30the feeling of wellness.
05:32Cannabidiol is not a psychoactive agent,
05:34but it can help in terms of the transfer of neurons or neurotransmitters to our brain
05:40to help with diseases.
05:42But here in the Philippines,
05:44it is still strictly prohibited.
05:49But this law may change.
05:52Just recently,
05:54the House Bill 10439 was passed in Congress in the third and final reading,
06:00which prohibits the use of medical marijuana or medical cannabis
06:05for some qualified patients.
06:08There will be a medical cannabis office
06:11where they will determine what are the accredited or licensed hospitals,
06:17hospitals, clinics, and laboratories
06:20where qualified patients can be obtained through their qualified or authorized physicians.
06:26This is something that was approved by a group of people
06:30who support the legalization of marijuana as a medicine.
06:34It also helps patients with cancer,
06:37especially those who have difficulty sleeping.
06:40It helps for a good sleep for those who have insomnia
06:44and then have a problem with appetite.
06:45Mildred is not a real name.
06:49It is a favor that the use of medical marijuana is legalized here in the Philippines.
06:54This is the year when she gave birth to her child
06:59who was diagnosed with Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome,
07:03an unusual type of childhood epilepsy.
07:07It also has focal cortical dysplasia,
07:10another congenital abnormality in the brain.
07:15This is the reason why she has seizures almost every minute.
07:19Her seizures are severe.
07:21Every minute, she attacks me twice.
07:24There is a head drop, twitching, and tremor.
07:27She told me that she can lose it anytime.
07:30I don't know.
07:32It's just that it makes me cry.
07:34You don't know what to do.
07:36Until 2015, a friend from abroad recommended to her
07:40to use medical cannabis
07:43or medical marijuana
07:45that is in her womb.
07:47It's really scary because I might get caught.
07:49They just messaged me.
07:51Then they gave me the medicine.
07:53Drops of oral.
07:55And it didn't go away.
07:57Her child's suffering was overshadowed.
08:00It was magic.
08:02I don't know how it happened.
08:04The result was good for my child.
08:06The two drops that I gave,
08:07it only lasted for an hour.
08:09For those who use medical cannabis,
08:12as long as we don't have a permit to show it,
08:15even if it's to say that it's for medicine,
08:18it's illegal to use it here.
08:21I won't abuse it for personal needs.
08:24I use it because it's my child's needs.
08:27Our countrymen who have severe needs,
08:30who have feelings,
08:32who can't get rid of synthetic drugs,
08:34they go here to illegal sources.
08:37We really want this to be legalized
08:40so that we can put our patients in the right people and right doctors.
08:45But the PMA or the Philippine Medical Association
08:49decides that it might be abused
08:52if marijuana is legally used in the country
08:55and it becomes a means to use others as a recreational drug.
09:01Potentially abusive,
09:02which may be dangerous,
09:04our cognitive function will deteriorate.
09:08It can cause cardiac disorder,
09:10irregular heartbeat,
09:12and it can cause heart attack.
09:14It can also damage your lungs.
09:16The question of medical community is
09:18if there will be a side effect of using it here.
09:21Knowing that the regulation and enforcement of the law in the Philippines
09:26is not controlled by the countries.
09:30What will happen right now
09:32to the population?
09:34In medicine,
09:36the difference between medicine and a poison
09:39is the dose.
09:41It has been proven that under medical supervision,
09:44the benefits outweigh the risks.
09:47We need to find out where it can be used
09:51and who can't use it.
09:53Meanwhile,
09:55a week after the authorities burned down
09:58the marijuana plantations in Barangay Bayo,
10:00they were caught red-handed
10:03that there is another marijuana farm in the town of Balamban,
10:07which is only 10 kilometers away from Barangay Bayo,
10:11Barangay Vito.
10:13Estimated area of 1,000 square meters.
10:15They also did not find any suspects
10:18that according to the informant,
10:20he is also behind the marijuana plantation
10:23that was first raided.
10:25There is only one planter in two locations of marijuana.
10:28The marijuana plantations,
10:30which are estimated to be worth more than a million pesos,
10:34were immediately destroyed and burned.
10:37We still receive a lot of reports
10:40that there is still marijuana cultivation
10:43in different barangays here in our highland of Balamban.
10:47Until now, our surveillance is still continuous.
10:50Is it high time
10:52that marijuana is legalized in the Philippines?
10:54How much is it in the Philippines?
10:56One kilo is 25,000 pesos.
10:58What is the heaviest potential of this drug?
11:07Or the danger that it might abuse?
