Authorities continue to find floating packs of suspected shabu worth millions of pesos off the coasts of several provinces in Northern Luzon.

After earlier reports in Pangasinan, new discoveries were made as far as Ilocos Norte and Cagayan.

In Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, a resident found a plastic-wrapped package containing suspected shabu worth nearly P7 million.

The packaging matched previous finds in Paoay, Laoag, and Currimao, plastic covers marked with the word "Durian" and Chinese characters.

In Claveria, Cagayan, two sacks were also spotted floating in the sea. Inside were packets of suspected shabu labeled as tea.

Authorities are still investigating the origin and possible source of the illegal drugs.

Meanwhile, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) Region 1 stepped up community patrols along coastal areas in Pangasinan following the discovery of "floating shabu" worth millions of pesos in recent weeks.

PDEA personnel visited several coastal barangays to thank residents for reporting the contraband immediately.

The agency also held an information drive to explain the dangers of drug smuggling.

They urged communities to stay alert and cooperate with authorities in future incidents.
