Aaron Aquino said. Meanwhile, PDEA said a P21.3-million project for the renovation of its K9 facility in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan will be completed soon.“Once the rehabilitation is completed, the K9 facility is envisioned to be the premier hub for breeding and training of all drug-sniffing dogs and their handlers intended for drug law enforcement agencies in the Philippines,” Aquino said.
