1. RATIONALE
The Constitution mandates that the government shall promote the quality of life of the
people. Towards this end, Section 16 of the Local Government Code of 1991 provides that
local government units shall pursue undertakings to improve public morals and maintain
peace and order, among other equally significant concerns.
Reports of existence of several drug laboratories and the increasing use of illegal
drugs have significantly contributed to the rise in criminality which necessitate @ more
aggressive and unified stance against illegal drugs to help ensure community peace and
harmony.
This menace can be addressed efficiently if all efforts of concerned agencies are
coordinated in all stages from the pre-operation, during and post-operations of the drive to
eliminate if not totally eradicate the problem.
Hence, this Memorandum Circular is issued in support of previous issuances of the
Department with the end in view of achieving an integrated approach to the elimination of
proliferation and use of illegal drugs and thus promote peace and order as well as
‘meaningful social and economic development in the country.
