A civilian informant received a cash reward of P1,500,000 from the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) under the PDEA: Operation Private Eye (OPE).
The tipster, who received his monetary reward on August 17, 2015 during the regular PDEA Monday flag-raising ceremony at the PDEA National Headquarters in Quezon City, was identified through his codename: Eboy.
