Duterte’s memorandum said that while “it shall not mean to be a diminution of the investigative powers of the NBI, the Philippine National Police (PNP) on all crimes as provided for in their respective organic laws, the said law specifically provides that when the investigation being conducted by the NBI, PNP or any ad hoc anti-drug task force is found to be a violation of any of the provisions of this Act, the PDEA shall be the lead agency.”
