   Jessie Estrada, the controversial head of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for Central Mindanao was relieved from post and replaced by Supt.
   ...
   Estrada had probably the shortest stint as regional PDEA chief.
   
   He was hounded by issues raised by his own personnel, the city government and local officials of Tupi town in South Cotabato.
   
   Having only served for some eight months, Estrada failed to finish his three-year tour of duty as regional head of PDEA.
   
   Reports showed that the relief order of Estrada arrived Thursday and it stated that this month, he would be relinquishing his post.
   
   Estrada assumed the top regional post last April after Supt.
   ...
   Shortly after taking over the post, Estrada faced opposition from his own men, some of whom staged a protest seeking his relief for alleged administrative lapses and strained relationship with his subordinates.
   
   With a factional and divided PDEA, Estrada failed to sustain a major drive against the drug rings in the region.
   ...
   As chairman of the committee on police matters in the City Council, Leyson said, Estrada failed miserably in the performance of his duty, blaming it on the fractious organization, strained media relations and arrogance in dealing with local officials.

   Chief Inspector Jessie Estrada, Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) director for Soccsksargen Region, said they have started to regulate the shipment of the product, which is reportedly an ingredient in the manufacture of shabu.
   
   Estrada said they have set up a monitoring system for the product at various commercial ports and the main highways in the region.
   
   "No shipments (of muriatic acid) are allowed unless the consignees or owners have secured the necessary licenses or clearance from us and other concerned agencies," Estrada said in a radio interview.
   
   He said they have also disallowed the bulk shipments of muriatic acid, which mostly come from manufacturers based in Cebu and Manila.
   
   Estrada added that they have also tied up with local government units (LGUs) and muriatic acid manufacturers to ensure that the product is distributed properly.
   
   He said LGUs in the area now conduct inspections on establishments that were selling or using the product like pharmacies, hospitals, and owners of swimming pools before their licenses or permits were issued.
   
   Estrada said they would also conduct inspections on business establishments in the city.
   
   "On the part of the manufacturers, they would no longer sell the product to those who have no business permits," he said.
   
   However, Estrada failed to say if the product's regulation was connected to earlier reports about the presence of alleged shabu laboratories in the region but cited that they have been closely monitoring such possibility in the area.
