INTRODUCTION

In the Philippines, the drug problem is considered a national concern. One that is

related not only to security, but also to the health, social, and economic well-being of the

country. This country is alarmed of the growing number of drug related problem, thus,

agencies were assigned to control and as much as possible to evaluate drug dependence

and drug pushing cases and make it a top priority for it is one of the causes of major

crimes. According to the United Nation and Drug Abuse Control, “No country is

untouched by the drug scourge, whether it is used as a production base, as a transit point

or as a market” (www.slideshare.net).

There were much more drug-related cases filed this year at the Cavite Provincial

Prosecutor’s Office as compared with 2015, the number of drug pushing and possession

cases filed this year had increased by 30 percent as compared with the same period last
year. The bulk of drug cases filed were noted since July 1, the day President Duterte

assumed office. In the first week of July alone, there were 43 cases filed at the provincial

prosecutor’s office, records showed. (Giron, 2016).

The PNP, shall maintain the police visibility, as a deterrent to illegal drug activity.

They are the one who ensures the reduction of crimes and improve public safety. They

should be aware of what happen to our society as a whole and also they are in-charge of

what should be done in the long process.

In response to the marching order of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to address the

worsening problem of illegal drugs in the country, the PNP waged an all-out war against

illegal drugs with the implementation of Anti-Illegal Drugs Campaign Plan: “Double

Barrel” with two pronged approach: the Project “Tokhang” and Project High-Value

Targets (HVT). The police operations against illegal drugs personalities and dismantling

of drug syndicates aimed to clear all drug affected barangays in the 6th district of Cavite.

Thus, the PNP expanded its Anti-Illegal Drugs Campaign Plan “Double Barrel” to Anti-

Illegal Drugs Campaign Plan “Double Barrel” ALPHA focusing more on the accounting

of High Value Target Personalities involved in illegal drugs and progressing towards the

Government’s ultimate objective of clearing all drug affected barangays in 6 th district of

Cavite. Relatedly, random drug testing and counter intelligence has been conducted in 6th

district of Cavite. Appropriate sanctions and charges were filed on those who were found

positive in the drug tests and those who were validated involved in the illegal drug trade.

(http://pdea.gov.ph)

The PROJECT TOKHANG is a practical and realistic means of accelerating the

drive against illegal drugs in affected barangays in the 6th District of Cavite. This concept
involves the conduct of house to house visitations to persuade suspected illegal drug

personalities to stop their illegal drug activities (www.linkedin.com).

Hence, the researchers are interested in this study because the issue is currently

one of the problem in the 6th District of Cavite.

The participants of the study were the Philippine National Police (PNP) and

Barangay Officials in 6th District Province of Cavite. It involves some personnel who

play a part in anti-illegal drug operations.

Definition of Terms

Anti- Illegal Drugs. Targeting “drug lords” and “drug pushers.” However, in all

but one of the cases investigated by Human Rights Watch, the victims of drug-related

killings by the police or unidentified gunmen were poor (the exception was a middle-

class victim who appears to have been killed as a result of mistaken identity), and many

were suspected drug users, not dealers at all. Almost all of the victims were either

unemployed or worked menial jobs, including as rickshaw drivers or porters, and lived in

slum neighborhoods or informal settlements. (philstar.com)

Implementation. It is the execution of the plan or method and also the policy to

maintain peace and order in the community or society, Through implementation the

government will accomplish the ideas and strategies in order for them to come up with a

good outcome.

Operation. It is the act of an organization that comes out of the major planning

and operating function (Microsoft Encarta 2002). In this research it refers to the drug-

related operation in 6th District of Cavite.

Performance. The way in which the Police Officers perform their duty in

combatting criminality especially when it comes to drug- related operations.

PNP (Philippine National Police). They reinforce a system of coordination and

cooperation among the citizenry. It provides all law enforcement services throughout the

Philippines(www.aseanopol.org). They are the one who plays the vital role in our

community to lessen the burden of the society.

The Community. They would be guided as to the operational activities

Philippine National Police in the Implementation of Anti-Illegal Drug Program in the 6th

District of Cavite.

Laws and Regulation referring to dangerous drugs

One of the laws that pertain s to dangerous drug isR.A. No. 9165, An act

instituting the comprehensive dangerous act of 2002, repealing Republic Act No. 6425,

otherwise known As the dangerous drug act of 1972, as amended, providing funds

therefore, and other purposes. Recognizing the need to further strengthen existing laws

governing Philippine drug law enforcement system, the then Philippine President (Gloria

Macapagal-Arroyo) signed the Republic Act No. 9165, or the Comprehensive Dangerous

Drugs Act of 2002, on June 7, 2002 and it took effect on July 4, 2002. The R.A. 9165

defines more concrete courses of action for the national anti-drug campaign and imposes

heavier penalties to offenders.

The enactment of R.A. 9165 reorganized the Philippine drug law enforcement

system. While the Dangerous Drugs Board remains as the policy-making and strategy-

formulating body in planning and formulation of policies and program on drug control

and prevention, it created the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency under the

Malacañang Palace, Office of the President. (Arroyo 2002)

 Another laws about dangerous drugs is the Republic Act No. 8203 declared that

it is the policy of the State to protect and promote the right to health of the people and in

still health consciousness among them as provided in Section 15 Article 11 of the

Constitution. It is also further declared the policy of the State that in order to safeguard

the health of the people, the State shall provide for their protection against counterfeit

drugs. (Aquino, 2014)

Another is the Republic Act No. 10640 an act to further strengthen the anti-drug

campaign of the government, amending for the purpose section 21 of republic 21 of

republic act no 9165, otherwise known as the “Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of

2002”. Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the Philippines in

Congress assembled Section 21 of Republic Act No. 9165, otherwise known as the

“Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002″, is hereby amended to read as follows:

“SEC. 21. Custody and Disposition of Confiscated, Seized, and/or Surrendered

Dangerous Drugs, Plant Sources of Dangerous Drugs, Controlled Precursors and

Essential Chemicals, Instruments/Paraphernalia and/or Laboratory Equipment. – The

PDEA shall take charge and have custody of all dangerous drugs, plant sources of

dangerous drugs, controlled precursors and essential chemicals, as well as

instruments/paraphernalia and/or laboratory equipment so confiscated, seized and/or

surrendered, for proper disposition. The apprehending team having initial custody and

control of the dangerous drugs, controlled precursors and essential chemicals,

instruments/paraphernalia and/or laboratory equipment shall, immediately after seizure

and confiscation, conduct a physical inventory of the seized items and photograph the

same in the presence of the accused or the person/s from whom such items were
confiscated and/or seized, or his/her representative or counsel, with an elected public

official and a representative of the National Prosecution Service or the media who shall

be required to sign the copies of the inventory and be given a copy thereof: Provided,

That the physical inventory and photograph shall be conducted at the place where the

search warrant is served; or at the nearest police station or at the nearest office of the

apprehending officer/team, whichever is practicable, in case of warrantless seizures:

Provided, finally, That noncompliance of these requirements under justifiable grounds, as

long as the integrity and the evidentiary value of the seized items are properly preserved

by the apprehending officer/team, shall not render void and invalid such seizures and

custody over said items. A certification of the forensic laboratory examination results,

which shall be done by the forensic laboratory examiner, shall be issued immediately

upon the receipt of the subject item/s: Provided, That when the volume of dangerous

drugs, plant sources of dangerous drugs, and controlled precursors and essential

chemicals does not allow the completion of testing within the time frame, a partial

laboratory examination report shall be provisionally issued stating therein the quantities

of dangerous drugs still to be examined by the forensic laboratory: Provided, however,

That a final certification shall be issued immediately upon completion of the said

examination and certification.(Estrada, 1991).

Drug Related Operation

Drug Supply Reduction Pillar

Is mainly concerned with strengthening the rule of law and enhancing a network

of control measures. The extent to which dangerous drugs are proliferated is addressed

through law enforcement, market denial operations and prevention of diversion from the
licit to the illicit markets. Law enforcement strategies target all parts and levels of the

supply chain from actions aimed at preventing importation across the border to those that

target the point of supply to consumers. Interventions against drug supply include all

activities carried out by law enforcement agencies led by the Philippine Drug

Enforcement Agency (PDEA) with the Philippine National Police Anti-Illegal Drugs

Group (PNP-AIDG), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and other similar agencies.

Regulatory compliance measures ensure the availability of dangerous drugs and

Controlled Precursors and Essential Chemicals (CPECs) with legitimate medical and

industrial use while preventing its diversion from the licit to illicit market and curtailing

drug abuse.as mandated by the law, PDEA regulates the acquisition and use of dangerous

drugs and CPECs. Through its Compliance Service, applications for licenses and permits

of practicing professionals and firms involved in the retail, distribution, manufacture,

exportation/importation, and use of dangerous drugs and CPECs are assessed and

processed. The DDB, on the other hand, issues Certificate of Exemption to legitimate

companies dealing with CPECs. This would exempt the product/preparation containing

dangerous drugs and/or CPECs that are below and above the 30% threshold from certain

regulatory control measures. A certification is also issued to industries and companies

dealing with chemicals/substances for products that are not included in the list of

dangerous drugs and CPECs. (www.slideshare.net)

Judicial and Legislative Measures

Consist of regular reprisal of the judiciary on recent Board regulations and the

Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 or RA 9165. The Board also seek to foster

and improve cooperation among pillars of the criminal justice system such as the
judiciary, prosecution and law enforcement. The Drug Demand Reduction pillar is geared

towards reducing the consumer’s demand for drugs and other substances. This is done

through programs on Preventive Education, Treatment and Rehabilitation, and Research.

Along with its partner agencies, the DDB continues to formulate policies on drug

prevention and control, develop and implement preventive education programs, adopt and

utilize effective treatment and rehabilitation programs and conduct research on vital

aspects of the drug abuse problem. (Arroyo, 2002)

Alternative Development Pillar

Is among the multi-pronged drug control strategies being undertaken by the DDB,

,through which prevention, reduction and elimination of illicit cultivation of marijuana

plants are achieved by specifically designed rural development measures that are aimed at

providing lawful, economically viable and sustainable means of income as well as an

improved livelihood of people in known marijuana cultivation areas, specifically

targeting those involved in the illicit activities

Civic Awareness and Response Pillar.

Strategies under this pillar aims to stimulate discussion and generate public

opinion that lead to participation. The DDB utilizes different forms of media to spread

the anti-drug advocacy and enlist more and more Filipinos in the fight against drugs. The

different sectors of the society are encouraged to participate in programs through

increasing awareness and enhancing public understanding of drug dependence. To reach

out to a greater majority, cooperation and coordination with media organizations is also

maintained.
Regional and International Cooperation.

The regional and international cooperation pillar places emphasis on cross-border

strategy-sharing and regional activities while enriching the existing national responses

and capacity-building programs which represent the foundations of the national anti-drug

abuse advocacy. There is a great deal of complementarities between the national and the

regional response as would be seen in the conferences, symposia and fora participated in

by the country. These demonstrate that the Philippine advocacy against drug dependency

shares the same overall regional approach to program development while meeting the

contextual and cultural requirements for our own country’s needs. (www.ddb.gov.ph)

Anti-Drug Operation

The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) has ordered the

Philippine National Police (PNP) to extend its ‘OplanTokhang’ program from illegal

drugs to illegal gambling this year. OplanTokhang, which means “knock and plead,” is a

police operation in the country wherein authorities knock on the doors of suspected drug

users or pushers and ask them to surrender. DILG Secretary Ismael ‘Mike’ Sueno said

that apart from the narcotics campaign, the PNP should also implement the

‘OplanTokhang’ principle in going after illegal gambling lords “to ensure that

appropriate taxes go to government coffers.”Sueno added that he also asked the PNP to

ensure the program to not be used by the policemen for their own interests.

OplanTokhang is not used or abused by policemen for their personal interests or some

sort of vendetta against their enemies. Tokhang is implemented for the sole purpose that

it was conceived, and that is to round up drug personalities and other criminals(Dana

Sioson, 2017).
 Guidelines in the implementation of barangay drug clearing program to foster the

involvement of the local communities in the suppression of illegal drug activities have

been issued by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA).

Among the general guidelines are the mandatory creation of Barangay Anti-Drug

Abuse Councils (BADACs) nationwide; the conduct of barangay drug-clearing

operations which is divided into three phases, namely the Pre-Operation Phase, Operation

Phase and Post-Operation Phase; the classification of barangays in determining the

priority areas for clearing operations; the duties of local chief executives; and the penalty

for non-compliance. An integrated approach to emerge victorious in the war on drugs is

to rid illegal drugs barangay by barangay. (Lapena, 2017)

The BADACs were deputized and empowered to plan and implement strategic

policies; and evaluate programs and projects on drug prevention and control, given the

political and police powers of the barangay to administer the affairs of the community.

The conduct of sustaining clearing operations against drug-affected barangays in the

initial phase include the activation of BADACs, capability enhancement of all

stakeholders through seminars, preventive education and trainings, organization of house

clusters to determine all essential facts of illegal drug activities happening in the

neighborhood, submission of report containing watch-list of drug personalities,

establishment of a rehabilitation referral desk in every barangay, among others. Local

chief executives are duty bound to ensure the organization of BADAC in all barangays

within their territorial jurisdiction, allocation of substantial portion in the barangay

budget and ensure compliance with the duties and responsibilities of the BADAC in the

anti-drug campaign.(Chavez, 2017)

Education program in schools nationwide

Adamant in protecting learners from the adverse effects of dangerous drugs and in

supporting the Duterte administration’s campaign against illegal drugs, the Department of

Education (DepEd) is strengthening its National Drug Education Program (NDEP). The

NDEP is a comprehensive educational program, which provides a holistic approach in

preventing and eliminating the menace of drugs in the country. The NDEP also enables

all sectors to work collaboratively—with the school system as the core—thereby unifying

all sectoral endeavors. The NDEP has five components that the DepEd builds on to create

awareness on the ill effects of using illegal drugs. These components are: a) curriculum

and instruction; b) co-curricular and ancillary services; c) teacher and staff development;

d) parent education and community outreach; and e) research, monitoring, and

evaluation. Moreover, the DepEd strengthens the program implementation by

establishing BarkadaKontraDroga Chapters in schools; intensifying anti-drug abuse

information campaigns; supporting the activities planned by the designated regional and

schools division NDEP coordinators; and involving Parent-Teacher-Community

Associations and pupil/student organizations in drug abuse prevention activities (Azurin,

2016).

The anti-illegal drug campaign

The anti-illegal drug (AID) campaign is being carried out under the national

agenda to uplift the dignity and human rights of Filipinos through inclusive development.

In his inaugural state of the nation address, President Rodrigo R. Duterte has stated the

following commitment: There can never be real, tangible and felt development without

making our people feel secure. And it is our duty to uplift our people’s welfare. With this,
my administration shall be sensitive to the Philippines’s obligations to promote, and

protect, fulfill the human rights of our citizens, especially the poor, the marginalized and

the vulnerable and social justice will be pursued, even as the rule of law shall at all times

prevail. dministration shall implement a human approach to development and

governance, as we improve our people’s welfare in the areas of health, education,

adequate food and housing, environmental preservation, and respect for culture. Human

rights must work to uplift human dignity The Philippines is facing a grave social ill that

has been existing for many years -- the massive proliferation of illegal drugs. The drug

menace is compounded by other social ills such as rampant criminality, lingering poverty,

and corruption in the bureaucracy. In its exercise of sovereignty and self-determination,

the Philippines is resolute in saving its people from the scourge of illicit drugs. The

Filipino people supports the President’s platform on peace and order based on his

consistent high approval and trust ratings. The AID campaign is but a subset of the

overall socio-economic agenda of the Duterte administration. The Philippines employs a

whole-of-government approach to uplift the dignity of Filipinos by alleviating poverty,

promoting social inclusion and making communities safer and more secure. The entire

Philippine government is working under such mandate. Aside from the AID campaign

and in connection with the socio-economic agenda, the Duterte administration’s priorities

include the effective implementation of agrarian reform through continued distribution of

lands[1], improvement of communal irrigation systems to farmer-beneficiaries, and

provision of agri-fishery assistance to farmers and fisherfolks, primarily through

infrastructure projects, and promoting the rights of workers through the new labor policy

of ending the short-term contractual system in employing workers or the so-called ENDO
practice. The drug epidemic in the country prevents ordinary Filipinos, mainly the youth,

from developing their full potentials and enjoying the fruits of the country’s socio-

economic progress. Demographics underline this concern: the Philippines has over 30

million boys and girls under the age of 14 years. It is in this context that addressing drug

abuse and the manufacture, distribution and sale of drugs in the country is seen as an

important element in supporting human development and in securing real and inclusive

economic growth. The priority of the Duterte administration with respect to the reduction

of all forms of crimes, including manufacture, sale and distribution of illegal drugs, is

being supported by a holistic program that seeks to combat not only the crimes but also

the corruption that perpetuates such crimes. The approach is comprehensive, covering

information and education campaigns, community organization and mobilization, and

police-community partnerships to ensure public order and safety. (Revita, 2016)

 METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH METHOD AND PROCEDURE

The focus of this research design was the sources of data, local of the study,

participants of the study, sampling technique, data gathering procedure, statistical

treatment and the research instrument that will be use upon conducting the research.

Research Design

This study focus on the descriptive method of research. This method was deem

necessary to be use since such method describes the nature of the phenomenon under

investigation that may be conduct about on the problems encountered and progress of the

PNP on their operation against drugs. In this study of drug-related operation the progress

of the PNP personnel determine through a survey questionnaire.

Local of the Study

The information may be gather from the police stations in 6th District of Cavite.

Known as "The Coffee Capital of the Philippines", Amadeo, Cavite has been harnessing

the potential of its agricultural lands through the use of new technology and modern

methods. Recently, more organic farms have sprouted in town, catering to the demand of

not just the restaurants and hotels nearby Tagaytay City, but that of Metro Manila and

other towns as well.

There is due stress to the importance of reaching out to the communities the PNP serves

and of obtaining their support, cooperation, and eventually their higher level of trust and

confidence in their police force which also underscores excellence and integration (close

coordination for maximum effectiveness and efficiency) in the conduct of police

operations. There is due stress to the importance of reaching out to the communities the
PNP serves and of obtaining their support, cooperation, and eventually their higher level

of trust and confidence in their police force which also underscores excellence and

integration (close coordination for maximum effectiveness and efficiency) in the conduct

of police operations (cavite.gov.ph).

City of General Trias is a first – class component city in the province of Cavite,

Philippines. Through Republic Act 10675, a plebiscite was held in December 12, 2015

with majority of its residents voting yes to cityhood, thus converting the municipality into

a city, in time for its 267th charter anniversary. According to the 2010 census, it has a

population of 243,322 people in a land area of 81.46 square kilometers. Originally named

after its Patron Saint, Francis of Assisi, 1181-1226, General Trias was founded in

December 13, 1748. The original name of the town was changed to General Trias in

honor of Gen. Mariano Trias (1868-1914), by virtue of a law fathered by Emilio P. Virata

during his term as representative of Cavite, 1919-1921(cavite.gov.ph).

TreceMartires City is the seat of the Provincial Government of Cavite. It is

considered as one of the fast growing local economy in Cavite with an average local

revenue growth rate of 29% from 2012 to 2014. This was the largest, most remote and

one of the oldest barrios of Tanza, Cavite. The city was named in the honor of Thirteen

(13) martyrs of Cavite, who were sentenced to death during the Spanish regime.

Surnames of the thirteen martyrs also became the names of the thirteen(13) barangays of

the city. TreceMartires City was inaugurated as Provincial Capital on January 1, 1956 on

the same day Governor Delfin Montano was sworn into office as Cavite Provincial

Governor and TreceMartires City Ex Officio City Mayor. On May 11, 1992 the first local
election was held per Republic Act 7325, an Act that amend the city charter and

providing for local elections of the TreceMartires City(cavite.gov.ph).

Farming and fishing are the major sources of livelihood in the Municipality of

Tanza. Fish caught in the shores of Tanza are traded through “Bulungan System” at fish

terminal market located at Barangay Julugan. Aside from palay, vegetables, corn and

fruits are also harvested. These produce are sold to the public market of Tanza and to the

nearby municipalities in the Province of Cavite. Industrial establishments present in the

municipality are the Transnational Paper Mills, Cathay Farms, |Agri Pacific Corporation ,

Dolphin Environmental System, and LU Chu Industrial Estate. The Industrial Estate are

warehouse of knots and bolts, bicycle parts, purlins and roofing materials and the newly

open Tanza ECO park an industrial park located at Barangay Sahud Ulan. Tanza was

formerly a strip of land incorporated for official purpose to the municipality of San

Francisco de Malabon, now called Gen. Trias. The first settlers were the Fabian brothers

who migrated here. This place was particularly devoted to grazing and was called

Estancia (1780)(cavite.gov.ph).
