Rear Admiral Toribio Adaci Jr., commander of the Naval Forces Western Mindanao (NFWM), said the joint team was on maritime interdiction operation when they intercepted a watercraft Wednesday dawn, April 28, in the seawaters off Recodo village, west of Zamboanga City. Adaci said the watercraft, M/B Dream Boat, was found to be loaded with 205 master cases of assorted smuggled cigarettes when the team conducted Visit, Board Search and Seizure (VBSS) operations. Adaci said the watercraft had 10 people aboard, including the crew, and its cargo came from the province of Sulu. Of the eight people aboard, six of them are males and the remaining two are females. Adaci said the watercraft and its cargo were escorted to Naval Station Romulo Espaldon, which houses the NFWM headquarters in Calarian, Zamboanga City, while the people aboard were taken to Camp Navarro General Hospital for medical check-up and were all declared to be in good condition. He said that based on the inventory, the confiscated contraband and corresponding value are as follows: 58 master cases of Cannon cigarettes, P2,030,000; 107 master cases of Champion, P3,745,000; 18 master cases of New Far Gold, P630,000; and 22 master cases of New Far Green, P770,000, or for a total of P7,175,000. Meanwhile, Adaci said the K9 unit of the Philippine drug Enforcement Agency conducted an inspection for the presence of prohibited drugs, which turned out negative. The apprehended individuals and the confiscated items were turned over to the custody of BOC-Zamboanga District for proper disposition.

| Lanao Sur towns, hospital receive new ambulance Posted: 30 Apr 2021 05:12 AM PDT THE Ministry of Health in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (MOH-BARMM) turned over on Friday, April 30, eight ambulance units to seven towns in Lanao del Sur and one to the provincial health office. Dr. Bashary Latiph, MOH minister, said the ambulances will help address the lack of transport of Barmm hospitals, which in turn will prevent the loss of lives in traumatic and critical incidences. Latiph said the ambulances are a sign of assurance that the regional government and medical staff will always be available to treat and prevent life-threatening incidences. Latiph said the recipient towns include Tubaran, Butig, Bumbaran, Taraka, Ditsaan Ramain, and Poona Bayabao, as well as the Wao District Hospital. He said each ambulance is supplied with vital emergency medical equipment such as oxygen cylinder, heavy duty stethoscope, folding stretcher, scoop stretcher, automatic external defibrillator, nebulizer, portable suction machine, examining light, and aneroid sphygmomanometer, among others. Two units of mobile phones were also supplied for the ambulance's driver and the town's medical officer use. The ambulances were procured by the Office of the Chief Minister under the Health Facility Enhancement Program 2019 of MOH-Barmm. Barmm Chief Minister Ahod Balawag Ebrahim reiterated the regional government's commitment in elevating the lives of its constituents by improving health services.
