Additional three communities in Taguig are now cleared of illegal drugs, according to its local government.&nbsp;
On Thursday, the City hall said that Barangays Calzada-Tipas, South Daang Hari, and Central Signal were awarded respective certificates of being drug-free, bringing a total number of six drug-free communities in the city.&nbsp;
Barangay San Miguel 2019 became the first community to be declared free from illegal drugs while in May last year, Barangays Katuparan and Bambang were also recognized as drug-free.&nbsp;
The drug-free status has been recognized in barangays which were previously named drug-affected communities due to the presence of users, traffickers, and drug dens.&nbsp;
Last week, a speculated high-value drug suspect was arrested after the police raided his house along P. Mariano St. in Barangay Ususan.&nbsp;
Reportedly yielded around 14 grams of shabu worth P95,200, a .45-caliber handgun, and ammunition, Bernardo Ti&ntilde;ga was nabbed by the authorities, said Southern Police director Brig. General Kirby John Kraft.
The suspect had already faced charges, such as possession of drugs and illegal possession of a firearm being readied against him.&nbsp;
