CHAPTER I
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale of the Study
In order to maintain harmony, every community needs an authorized
personnel such as law enforcement officers to enforce peace and order. They
are the ones who are also responsible of keeping everything under control,
ensuring the community’s lives and properties to be safe and secured,
catching offenders, and who also conducts street policing. As a rule, the
essential reasons for policing incorporate authorizing the law, catching
wrongdoers, forestalling crime, protecting the harmony, and offering types
of assistance. Furthermore, preventing crime is the expectation,
acknowledgment, and evaluation of a crime hazard and the inception of
activity to dispose of or lessen it. Law enforcement officers are known to be
front liner when it comes to upholding law and order to have a better society.
They are the most noticeable delegates of the public authority. In the midst
of hardship, may it peril, emergency, and trouble, when a resident does not
2
have a clue what to do and who will they approach, policemen end up being
the most open, intelligent, and dynamic association of any general public.
In Cebu City, last September 3, 2020, Task Force KASALIGAN, a
first pilot project of Philippine National Police was launched. These work
force are of a colossal assistance to the police officers in authorizing
harmony. As to policing the streets, particularly since we are in a pandemic,
wellbeing conventions are an unquestionable requirement to be followed. As
Task Force KASALIGAN personnel were destined to address and alleviate
the spread of COVID-19 inside the local area. During their meandering in
the roads, on the off chance that they see somebody who is not wearing a
face cover, or if by chance they will assess computer shops that are open and
they see minors under fifteen years of age, or those individuals who are not
socially distanced particularly on the streets while waiting for buses, they
will apprehend them.
Care with respect to this matter will help our neighborhood people to
know that in the midst of hardship, particularly when an individual is
reluctant to call for help, they can incline toward those public authorities.
And if they are hesitant for they are afraid, they can approach to these Task
3
Force KASALIGAN personnel. This study will survey the experiences of
the Task Force KASALIGAN personnel in policing the streets.
This study aims to scrutinize the experiences of task force
KASALIGAN personnel with regards to policing the streets particularly
since we are in a pandemic, their problem that have experienced around
there while implementing the peace and order in the streets.
This study is required so that individuals will not be oblivious with
respect to the principles and guidelines carried out by the public authority.
Furthermore, this will also help the task force KASALIGAN personnel to
improve their duties. These will help forestall future issues that they may
experience due to the absence of worry for the country.

Theoretical Background
This study is anchored on the Situational Crime Prevention Theory by
Ronald V. Clarke (1983-1995) and with two supporting theories, Routine
Activity Theory of Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen (1979) and
Social Control Theory of Travis Hirschi (1969-1977).
According to Clarke (1983), situational crime prevention theory
focuses correspondingly based on the belief that crime can be reduced
effectively by altering situations rather than an offender’s personal
dispositions. Back in 1983, Ronald Clarke primarily divided crime
prevention approaches into three categories of measures: degree of
surveillance, target hardening measures, and environmental management
(Clarke, 1983).
Ronald V Clarke's situational crime prevention theory is an approach
that has the intent to understand crime better and develop improved crime-
prevention tactics through reducing criminal opportunities in daily life.
Crime prevention can be accomplished in two ways: by changing the
offender’s outlook of the crime or by reducing their opportunities.

5
Situational crime prevention theory ultimately tries to eliminate the
surroundings and situations that make a crime possible rather than try and
change the criminal’s demeanor. Ronald Clarke developed twenty-five
techniques that have been classified into five categories. (Clarke, 1983)
The first category is to increase the effort of the crime. If a criminal
faces multiple obstacles in the way of the succession of the crime, he or she
may reconsider committing the crime and therefore, the crime has been
prevented. This can be accomplished through updating security systems,
adding multiple locks or key-in pads to doors and windows, adding
electronic trackers to merchandise in stores, or simply adding cameras to a
facility. When people are presented with a challenge that they may not be
able to overcome, they tend to give up and choose to do an action that
requires less effort. The second category involves increasing the risks of the
crimes. That includes adding police watchmen to streets that tend to have
less surveillance, having well-lit parking lots and buildings, involving
neighborhoods to participate in neighborhood watch programs, and having
more than one employee manage a store at night when a robbery is more
likely to occur. This causes the criminal to be careful and most criminals
committing petty crimes don’t make a plan beforehand and strategize. The
6
third category is reducing the rewards. Criminals are seeking rewards for
their bad behavior. They want to be on the media channels being
acknowledged for their actions. A couple techniques in this category
include: 1) concealing targets involves hiding the potential rewards. This
means having a safe in your home protecting valuables or parking your car
in a garage. 2) The simple denial of benefits. Ink tags in a store are a perfect
example of this technique. If someone were to try and steal it, it would
release irremovable ink onto the item. The fourth category is to reduce
provocations. If you reduce the chance of someone getting upset or angry,
you’ve reduced the risk of violence and crime. The final category states that
you should remove excuses. If you clearly state the rules and regulations of
companies and businesses, you reduce the risk of someone saying that it was
not a rule, reducing the amount of alcohol intake at bars can reduce
accusations and violent fights, and making sure customers understand
contracts that they are signing can aid to a much safer environment. (Clarke,
1983)
Situational crime prevention theory of Edwin Sutherland argued that
crime was either “historical” – influenced by previous personal history, or
“situational” – the environmental factors encompassing the crime scene. It is

7
based on the crime pattern theory, the routine activity theory, and rational
choice theory. To study criminal patterns is to study the historical
background and events of crime in relation to the crime scene, which is
basing on the notion of Sutherland (1947). The crime pattern theory helps
identify hot spots of crime and location of crime vulnerability. The routine
activity theory was developed by Felson and Cohen (1979) who argued that
a crime could be committed when there is an opportunity for a person who
has identified a potential victim in situation that is in lack of a capable
guardian. For rational choice theory, as mentioned above, the offender
would calculate the cost and benefit of committing a crime. Situational
crime prevention theory is a very pragmatic approach which basically aims
at increasing the risk of the offenders being caught or increasing the cost of
committing crime, and also aims at reducing the reward or benefit of crime.
(Sutherland, 1947)
Routine Activity Theory of Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen
(1979) posits a high rate of potential victims becoming actual victims
whenever three things occur in space and time together: the absence of
capable guardians; an abundance of motivated offenders’ and suitable
targets. All three must come together in order for criminal activity to be
8
realized. Routine activity theory relies on the same rational choice
methodology as situational crime prevention techniques. As in any theory,
routine activity theory has its criticisms. One of the primary criticisms is the
assumption that criminals are rational in their decision-making. They may
not use the same rationale as the person implementing the security measures.
They may not even be aware of the situational crime prevention techniques
put into effect. They may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol or, for
whatever reason, they may simply not care about the security measures.
Routine Activity Theory of Lawrence E. Cohen and Marcus Felson
(1979) also argued that the probability of the situation occurring is
influenced by out “routine activities” – including our work, family, leisure,
and consumption activities. For instance, if people tend spend more time in
public places – such as bars – it increases the likelihood that people coming
to those places will come into contact with motivated offenders in the
absence of capable guardians. As a consequence, they are more likely to
become victimized. The Routine Activity approach usually takes the supply
of motivated offenders for granted. Instead, the theory focuses on the
opportunities for crime on the premise that even when a motivated offender
is present, no crime can occur if no opportunity is available. As per routine

9
activity theory of Cohen and Felson (1979), as it assumes offenders
rationalize their targets. They also developed to explain that the direct
contact predatory crimes where at least one offender comes into direct
physical contact with at least one victim. Furthermore, when the three
elements of routine activity theory converge at the same place and time,
most likely, the likelihood of the crime is higher. (Cohen & Felson, 1979)
Social Control Theory of Travis Hirschi (1969-1977) is the
assumption that persons will engage in delinquent behavior when their
"social bond" to society is weakened. Hirschi's concept of "social bond" is
comprised of the following four elements: (1) attachment, (2) commitment,
(3) involvement, and (4) beliefs.
Attachment described as the level of values and or norms that an
individual hold in society. It is especially important when it comes to the
person’s parental figures. According to Hirschi (1969) other attachments,
such as school, play a tremendous role in conventional society. School has
tended to be a middle to upper class involvement Since the was first created.
The middle class children tend to make fun of the lower class children. This
treatment also does not just come from the child, it also comes directly from
10
the institution, through the teacher. In combination with each other, the
person starts to resent school at the earliest education. This comes full circle
to the lower class standard of living for generations to come (Hirschi, 1969).
Commitment can be described as the level of commitment that an individual
has to abide by legal behavior (Burton, Cullen, Evans, Dunaway,
Kethinenim and Gary, 1995). The norms and values taught to us as an
adolescent should be to obey how society works in normal terms. From very
early in our lives, we hopefully learn the difference between “right” and
“wrong”. This understanding has an enormous effect on turning out and
setting our place in normal society. Involvement, a person’s choice to get
involved in conventional versus deviant behavior? This choice is formed not
far after basic rules of life are taught. If no “right and wrong” basis are
formed or provided, the adolescent will make the decision that tends to make
the most sense. This also ties into family involvement in the person’s life.
Lastly, beliefs, Hirschi's (1969) last element of social bonding relates to an
individual's level of belief in the moral validity of shared social values and
norms. In American society, certain values (e.g., monogamous sexual
conduct) are espoused as norms. Hirschi suggested that persons who
strongly believe in these norms are less likely to deviate from them.
11
However, those who question or challenge the norms have a greater
propensity to behave in a deviant manner. The belief system concerning
alcohol and drug use in American society can be complicated and confusing,
though social dirinking is accepted, diriving while under-the-influence is
considered deviant behavior. According Hirschi's logic, adherence to the
belief and guidelines decreases the probability of deviance. However,
substance abuse occurs when individuals exaggerate the belief and ignore
the medical and legal rules. (Tancangco, 2018)
Social Bond Theory was created by Travis Hirschi in 1969 that later
developed into the Social Control Theory, has historically been an
interesting way of approaching social problems and how we in turn explain
them. Before one can apply the Social Bond Theory, they must first have a
firm understanding of its definition, which can be accurately described by
Hirschi (1969) as, “Elements of social bonding include attachment to
families, commitment to social norms and institutions (school, employment),
involvement in activities, and the belief that these things are important”
(p.16). This theory is rooted and derived from the General Theory of Crime
and Hirschi’s (1969) Social Bond Theory is the focus on peers and peer
groups of individuals. The four basic elements of social bond theory are
12
attachment, commitment, involvement in conventional versus deviant or
criminal activities, and lastly the common value system within an
individual’s society or subgroup. (Tancangco, 2018)
Almost all criminology theories look into the factors that makes
people becomes criminals; in contrast control theory tries to explain why
people do not become a criminal. People who possess the characteristics of
control theory are less likely to become deviant (or criminal); in contrast, it
is more likely that people might become criminal. Hirschi expanded on this
theory with the idea that a person with low self-control is more likely to
become criminal; social bonding through peers, parents and others could
have a countering effect to one’s low self-control. For families of low socio-
economic status, a factor that distinguishes families with delinquent children
from those who are not delinquent is the control exerted by parents or
chaperonage. (Eduardo & Panganoron, 2015)
Routine Activities Theory is a theory of crime events. This differs
from a majority of criminological theories, which focus on explaining why
some people commit crimes– that is, the motivation to commit crime –
rather than how criminal events are produced. Although at first glance this
13
distinction may appear inconsequential, it has important implications for the
research and prevention of crime. Routine activities theory suggests that the
organization of routine activities in society create opportunities for crime.
(Tancangco, 2018)
Routine Activity theory is a sub-branch theory of the crime
opportunity theory, which was intended to concentrate on criminal
circumstances. Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen fostered the
hypothesis in their endeavor to clarify the adjustment of crimes in the United
States of America between the years 1947 and 1974. After the advancement
of the hypothesis, it has framed a premise in which different crimes inside a
general public can be clarified without missing current realities. In contrast
to different speculations in the field of criminal science. The normal
movement hypothesis sees wrongdoing as an occasion, relating it near the
climate in which it occurred and pushing it on the environmental interaction.
The rationale behind the Routine Activity Theory is the conviction that
social factors like neediness, joblessness, and imbalance just spur

14
wrongdoing to a little degree. For instance, after the finish of World War 2,
the countries that partook in the conflict began to develop, and their
economies prospered once more. As the economy developed, wrongdoing
exercises expanded in the given nations. As indicated by Marcus Felson and
Lawrence E. Cohen, wrongdoing cases expanded in those countries in light
of the accomplishment of contemporary society. The accessibility of
vehicles in such economies empowers hoodlums to perpetrate a wrongdoing
and rapidly escape from the crime location (Agustina & Felson, 2015).
The Routine Activity Theory has three components, known as the
wrongdoing triangle, that must be available for crime to occur. One of the
components is the spurred guilty party who has a criminal psyche. The main
component in the wrongdoing triangle is the individual carrying out a
wrongdoing. The individual should have the expectation and should be
spurred to perpetrate a given wrongdoing. For case, bank looters for the
most part have the aim to get to the bank and take the money that is in there.
The inspiration is to get rich rapidly, and that is the reason they pick to
ransack the bank. The second component of the wrongdoing triangle is the
presence of a reasonable objective. For a wrongdoing to occur, the crooks
should consistently have an objective. For this situation, an objective might

15
be an individual or a foundation where the hoodlums have something they
are focusing in the foundation. The third component of the wrongdoing
triangle is the shortfall of a mindful individual to prevent the wrongdoing
from occurring. For example, if there is an endeavored wrongdoing, and
there the security officials are ready, the wrongdoing won't happen, however
on the off chance that they are not watchful, the wrongdoing will occur
(Bratt, 2018).
Taking everything into account, the Routine Activity Theory has had
the option to impact the way individuals see wrongdoing in the public eye. It
has changed as in the crime percentage isn't basically influenced by
neediness, joblessness, and disparity, however it is advanced fundamentally
by the accomplishment of contemporary society. The hypothesis depends on
the three components, which are the individual willing also, persuaded to
carry out a wrongdoing, the objective, and the absence of faculty to stop
crime. Likewise, the part of wrongdoing casualties incorporates revealing
the wrongdoing, offering subtleties of the lawbreakers, and in any event,
affirming against the hoodlums.

As defined under Republic Act 8551, the Philippine National Police
(PNP) shall be a community and service oriented agency responsible for the
maintenance of peace and order and public safety. The PNP shall be so
organized to ensure accountability and uprightness in police exercise of
discretion as well as to achieve efficiency and effectiveness of its members
and units in the performance of their functions. (RA 8551, 1998)
Also defined under Republic Act 6975, the police force shall be
organized, trained and equipped primarily for the performance of police
functions. Its national scope and civilian character shall be paramount. No
element of the police force shall be military nor shall any position thereof be
occupied by active members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.
In addition, the PNP shall absorb the office of the National Action
Committee on Anti-Hijacking (NACAH) of the Department of National
Defense, all the functions of the present Philippine Air Force Security
Command (PAFSECOM), as well as the police functions of the Coast
Guard. (RA 6975, 1990)
Furthermore, Section 24 of Republic Act of 6975 provides that so as
to achieve its forces and capacities productively and successfully, the PNP
17
will be given sufficient land, sea, and air abilities and all vital material
methods for assets. It will be a huge help to the PNP if the community gives
their full support and coordination when crisis arise.
The Philippine National Police (PNP), is one of the tri-bureaus under
Department of the Interior and Local Government through National Police
Commission pursuant to Republic Act No. 6975 as amended by Republic
Act No. 8551 The PNP in under the administrative control and operational
supervision of the National Police Commission. Meanwhile, the
NAPOLCOM is an attached agency of the Department of the Interior and
Local Government for policy and program coordination. The said agency
shall be the one to enforce the law, prevent and control crimes, maintain the
peace and order, and ensure its public safety and internal security with the
coordination and agile support of the community. (Official Gazette, Act No.
543 (1902) & Commonwealth Act No. 638 (1941))
As published by Friedman (2021), safety is government’s first job,
and no one seems really to feel differently. Nor is there any doubt—and this
is the important thing—that when these figures speak of public safety, what
they have in mind is the protection function. There are outliers, some few
18
who explicitly deem public safety to involve a broader set of responsibilities.
But for the most part, when people talk about government’s first job being
public safety, they mean one primary thing: protecting people from injury to
person or property, resulting mostly from the actions of third parties.
(Friedman, 2021)
In the Philippines, Cebu is one of the most popular destinations that
every tourists wants to visit. Although it may be a safe city, it cannot be
argued that it also has its drawbacks and risks. The said country has been
well known of its hospitability, but should also consider that it is a poverty-
stricken country as observed particularly in Cebu City. Unfortunately, when
crime occurs, sometimes, police officers are delayed in responding to it.
Tourists who visits in the said city or even the people living in this city
should always bare in their mind to keep safe their belongings, especially,
those valuable things, high technology gadgets or even their money.
As stated by Slessor (2020), public safety agencies continue to operate
at the forefront of their country’s COVID-19 response. Having needed to
adjust quickly at the onset of the pandemic, today they are having to
continually evolve to operate in what is a constantly shifting environment.

19
It’s a hugely challenging role that requires agencies to strike a fine balance.
On the one hand, they’re in the vanguard of ongoing efforts to protect and
reassure the public. On the other, they’re tasked with managing an ever-
changing threat and risk landscape, as well as enforcing evolving public
health measures. All while ensuring their officers and staff stay safe and
well.
As to the reason behind the launching of Task Force KASALIGAN is
to help out the police officers in enforcing the peace and order and dealing
with the COVID19 that our country has been facing. Its approach will be a
pro-active by speeding up the contact tracing and by disseminating
information to educate the people in each community about the deadly
disease, as to how it affects the health and the possibility of losing lives.
They also arrest those who are not following the health protocols given by
the government such as by wearing face masks and face shields and being
socially distanced.
Task Force KASALIGAN Kaluwasan sa mga Amigo Cops ug
Sugbuanon Ang Gusto sa Atong Liderato nga Ipatuman Gumikan sa hulga
sa COVID-19 Alang Natong Tanan) is a pro-active approach to speed-up

20
contact tracing and information dissemination to educate the people in the
community of the deadly disease, its effects to health and possible loss of
lives. The City Government of Cebu together with PRO7 under the
leadership of PBGEN ALBERT IGBATIUS FERRO, Regional Director and
the Cebu City Police Office (CCPO) launched this project to aid medical
front liners arrest the rapid spreading COVID-19. TF KASALIGAN will
operate based on developed strategies that will best slow down the virus and
eventually stop its spread with discipline that will be instilled through
unceasing recorida's, leafleting and social media blasts throughout the
densely populated barangays of the city. The Cebu City LGU has hired
highly qualified professionals who will be using an approach that is based on
studies of contact tracing that has produced fruitful results. These
professionals will focus solely on contact tracing and educating the public
on the gravity of COVID-19. The ignorance of the disease has left many
subject to transmission and contagion. With the team on full operation, it
will greatly help in maintaining the low statistics of transmission. While the
vaccine is yet to be available, the roles of the contact tracers will come into
full play. The combined efforts of the police officers and other gov't
21
agencies along with TF KASALIGAN will be a good equation to counter the
spread of COVID-19. (PRO-7, 2020)
The basis of the Task Force KASALIGAN whenever they arrest
quarantine violator is City Ordinance No. 2566 that was approved last June
26, 2020 by the City Council in an online special session. City Ordinance
No. 2566 is all penalizing any violation in relation to the implementation of
general/enhanced community quarantine in Cebu City during public health
crisis. Due to its long overdue, it was then a month later, July 27, 2020, that
took Mayor Labella to sign the City Ordinance. And then took its effect on
August 16, 2020. As the Cebu City has the massive rise in covid-19 cases,
the reason that City councilors had its session approving the ordinance
penalizing those quarantine protocol violators.
Councilor Dave Tumulak who is the main proponent of the City
Ordinance, stated that, “once a violator is apprehended, he will be detained
at the police station with the jurisdiction where he/she committed the
violation pending the filing of charges”. The charges will then be filed at the
Office of the City Prosecutor and the violator will have to face the court to
determine the penalty the violator will have to serve. The penalty for first-
22
time violators is a fee of P1,500 or 30 days in prison. For the second offense,
the violator will pay a fine of P3,000 and will serve 30 days in jail. For the
third offense and multiple offenders, they will be fined P5,000 and serve 30
days in jail. (Letigio - CDN Digital, 2020)
THE PROBLEM
23
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to explore the life experiences of Task Force
KASALIGAN Personnel in Cebu City.
Specifically, this study sought to answer the following sub-problems:
1. What are the experiences of informants in the performance of their
duty?
2. What are the problems encountered by the informants in the
performance of their duty?
3. How do the informants address the problems encountered in the
performance of their duties?
4. What are the aspiration of the informants to improve the quality of
service rendered to the community?

24
Significance of the Study
The result of the study will be beneficial to the following entities:
Task Force Kasaligan. This study will help these personnel in
becoming more effective in enforcing the law by assisting the law enforcers
in the city.
Department of Interior and Local Government. They can make
projects or training to the police specialists to improve their effectiveness.
National Police Commission. This study will fill in as guide in
improving the management and control for the Philippine National Police
with the goal that they can convey effective and responsive administrations.
Philippine National Police. Findings of the study will serve as a
guide to improve their delivery of their services in their respective
jurisdictions here in the Philippines. The study also would also act as a
catalyst for their dirive in preventing and in taking action against any crimes
allegedly prevalent in the country.
Local Government Units. The study will serve the local government
units to launched more task forces and in forming their future projects and
25
exercises for their local area. It very well might be utilized as a reason for
carrying out laws or rules and guidelines in their separate barangays, regions
or urban areas to encouraged the community to coordinate with them,
especially during pandemic.
Community. The public (e.g. parents, youth especially, students etc.),
through this study, will be more informed and knowledgeable of the life
experiences of Task Force KASALIGAN personnel in policing the streets.
Researchers. This examination will build up their insight to have a
superior agreement and educated proposals. The exploration will furnish the
analysts with information about the life experiences of Task Force
KASALIGAN personnel in policing the streets regardless of the pandemic
and circumstances in the predetermined territory and the endeavors and
perspectives on the local government units in the Philippines.
Future Researchers. This will fill in as a manual for seek after
additional studies identified as to the life experiences of Task Force
KASALIGAN personnel in policing the streets. This study can be used as a
reason for study or reference for future researchers directing studies in

26
accordance with the policing the streets of Task Force KASALIGAN small
letter personnel in the Cebu, Philippines and the issues encompassing it.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This study will utilize a qualitative criminological research method
applying phenomenological method. This phenomenological exploration
will be focus on the experiences of the Task Force Kasaligan Personnel
before, during and after since the new normal has started, their effectivity in
policing the street in their respective areas, their problems encountered in the
performance of their duty and how did they addressed the problem
encountered, and what are their aspirations to improve the quality of service
rendered to the community. As indicated by Edmund Husserl (1859-1938),
is a type of qualitative research that centers around the study of a person's
lived encounters inside the world.
Research Environment
The site of the study will be the chosen stations inside the City of
Cebu where the task force KASALIGAN personnel are assigned,
specifically Police Station 2 (Fuente Police Station) and Police Station 9
(Barangay Guadalupe).
28
Fuente Police Station is located at Osmeña Boulevard, Cebu City.
This is the second police station in Cebu City. Areas under this police
station, namely, Sambag uno, Sambag dos, Santa Cruz, Capitol site and
Camputhaw. There are fifteen Task Force KASALIGAN personnel who are
assigned in this police station.
Guadalupe Police Station is located at V Rama Avenue, Cebu City.
This is the ninth police station in Cebu City. Areas under this police station,
namely, Guadalupe, Kalunasan, Sapangdaku and Pamutan. There are twelve
Task Force KASALIGAN personnel who are assigned in this police station.
Research Informants
The informants will be the Task Force KASALIGAN personnel in
their assigned areas in Cebu City, who has experiences in policing the
streets. These personnel are those who are fresh graduates, particularly in
Bachelor of Science in Criminology. In order to be qualified, they must be
twenty – one to thirty – five years old, at least one hundred sixty – five
centimeter in height for males and at least one hundred sixty – four
centimeter in height for females, and they should be physically and mentally
fit. There will be ten (10) informants from each stations, Police Station 2
29
(Fuente Police Station) and Police Station 9 (Barangay Guadalupe Police
Station).
Research Instruments
The instrument will be using a questionnaire written in English dialect
with Cebuano interpretation. The instrument will be used as an interview
guide to gather data from the chosen participants. The researchers created an
informed consent, interview guide, personal circumstances, experiences,
advantages and disadvantages to inform the respondents and ask their
consent for the interview. The respondents will be given an interview guide
that was constructed by the researchers, for them to prepare their response in
the interview. The voice recorder will be used as one of the tools in this
study to record the whole interview. The first part of the interview is to
know their experiences in policing the streets and followed by some
questions. The second part of the interview will be their problems
encountered in the performance of their duty. The third part of the interview
is to know how they addressed their problems encountered in the
performance of their duty. Lastly, the fourth part of the interview is to know
30
what are their aspirations to improve the quality of service to the
community.
Research Procedure
The process of this study will be carried out through first asking
permission to the participants to be interview by signing the informed
consent. The researchers will use a voice recorder. The researchers will also
use the informed consent, to be signed by the participants. A purposive
random sampling will be employed to select the participants. Before the
interview, the researcher will explain to the participants the purpose of the
research and the manner by which the interview will be conducted.
Qualitative research has been described as a naturalistic study
conducted through prolonged contact with field situations which typically
reflect the everyday life and the explicit and implicit rules that govern that
life
(Miles and Huberman, 1994).
Data Gathering
31
An approval letter will be submitted to the Dean of Criminal Justice
Department and to the selected legal practitioners, enabling researchers to
conduct the study in any area and premises within the site of the chosen
stations inside the City of Cebu where the task force KASALIGAN
personnel are assigned.
This study utilizes survey to assemble information on the respondents'
evaluation (task force KASALIGAN personnel) and towards their
experiences in policing the streets in Cebu City. The researchers will use an
In-depth Interview and Focus Group Discussion in gathering data. The
respondents will answer the survey. The researchers will talk with the
primary informants to give an in-depth treatment and an alternate
perspective of evaluating the system in the light of their expertise in their
fields. They will be asked to give examples, reasons, and illustrations.
The researchers will use an informed consent before the conduct of
the interview and serve as guide question utilizing a diary and a voice
recorder. After the approval, the participants will be asked by the researcher
some questions to answer after which, the answers will be written in the
blank portion of the questionnaire, tabulated, analyzed and interpreted.

32
To obtain more data, the researchers will record while having a
conversation with the participants.
Data Analysis
The information gathered from the study will be analyzed and
evaluated in the light of the appropriate responses. Concerning the key
informant's interview, the researchers will summarize the similar and
significant purposes of the sources and the researcher's particular analysis
into separate frameworks.
Transcription the data will undergo the following processes. The
purpose is to clean and edit the manuscripts by eliminating typographical
errors and contradictions; Checking and editing, the next step is to check and
edit transcripts, prepare data for further analysis; Analysis and interpretation,
during this process the researcher will collate collected data, including field
notes and interview transcripts, and begin to form a clear understanding of
the information. The researchers will code the data, conduct content analysis
by looking for specific words from which themes can be identified,
generalization of the findings of individual interviews. Verification, during
this step the researcher will embark on a process of checking the validity of
33
interpretations by going through the transcripts again. This allow the
researcher to verify or modify hypotheses already arrived at previously.
Ethical Considerations. The identities of the participants will be
treated with confidentiality, and prior permission will be obtained from the
participants before the conduct of interviews. The researcher will also
comply with the policy on research, which is the informed consent form,
before conducting the research on the experiences of task force
KASALIGAN personnel in policing the streets.
Trustworthiness of the Research. Trustworthiness for quantitative
studies, it is referred to as validity and reliability. However, in qualitative
studies, this concept is more obscure because it is put in different terms.
Since qualitative researchers do not use instruments with established metrics
about validity and reliability, it is pertinent to address how qualitative
researchers establish that the research study’s findings are credible,
transferable, confirmable, and dependable. Trustworthiness is all about
establishing these four things, which are described in more detail below.
Credibility is the how confident the qualitative researcher is in the
truth of the research study’s findings. Qualitative researchers can use

34
triangulation to show the research study’s findings are credible.
Transferability is how the qualitative researcher demonstrates that the
research study’s findings are applicable to other contexts. In this case,
“other contexts” can mean similar situations, similar populations, and
similar phenomena. Qualitative researchers can use thick description to
show that the research study’s findings can be applicable to other contexts,
circumstances, and situations.
Confirmability is the degree of neutrality in the research study’s
findings. In other words, this means that the findings are based on
participants’ responses and not any potential bias or personal motivations of
the researcher. To establish confirmability, qualitative researchers can
provide an audit trail, which highlights every step of data analysis that was
made in order to provide a rationale for the decisions made. This helps
establish that the research study’s findings accurately portray participants’
responses. Finally, dependability is the extent that the study could be
repeated by other researchers and that the findings would be consistent.
In other words, if a person wanted to replicate your study, they should
have enough information from your research report to do so and obtain

35
similar findings as your study did. A qualitative researcher can use inquiry
audit in order to establish dependability, which requires an outside person to
review and examine the research process and the data analysis in order to
ensure that the findings are consistent and could be repeated. We hope that
this clears up any confusion about trustworthiness and helps shed light on
the different components involved in establishing a trustworthy research
study.

As the researchers, we conscientiously delved into the relevant aspects
of the sub-problems from which the research data intended to answer.
Following the Colaizzi's phenomenological approach, we painstakingly
extracted significant statements and logically arranged them for better

Analysis Data
This study used and employed a qualitative method utilizing to delve
into the life experiences of the Task Force KASALIGAN in policing the
streets in Cebu City.
This study is anchored on the Situational Crime Prevention Theory by
Ronald V. Clarke (1983-1995) and with two supporting theories, Routine
Activity Theory of Marcus Felson and Lawrence E. Cohen (1979) and
Social Control Theory of Travis Hirschi (1969-1977). The Situational Crime

77
Prevention Theory focuses correspondingly based on the belief that crime
can be reduced effectively by altering situations rather than an offender’s
personal dispositions. It is an approach that has the intent to understand
crime better and develop improved crime-prevention tactics through
reducing criminal opportunities in daily life. Crime prevention can be
accomplished in two ways: by changing the offender’s outlook of the crime
or by reducing their opportunities. Sutherland expanded on this theory, with
the idea that crime was either “historical” – influenced by previous personal
history, or “situational” – the environmental factors encompassing the crime
scene. It is based on the crime pattern theory, the routine activity theory, and
rational choice theory. To study criminal patterns is to study the historical
background and events of crime in relation to the crime scene, which is
basing on the notion of Sutherland (1947). Routine Activity Theory posits a
high rate of potential victims becoming actual victims whenever three things
occur in space and time together: the absence of capable guardians; an
abundance of motivated offenders’ and suitable targets. All three must come
together in order for criminal activity to be realized. This theory relies on the
same rational choice methodology as situational crime prevention
techniques. As in any theory, routine activity theory has its criticisms. One
78
of the primary criticisms is the assumption that criminals are rational in their
decision-making. They may not use the same rationale as the person
implementing the security measures. They may not even be aware of the
situational crime prevention techniques put into effect. They may be under
the influence of drugs or alcohol or, for whatever reason, they may simply
not care about the security measures. And The Social Control Theory sees
crime as a result of social institutions losing control over individuals. Hirschi
expanded on this theory, with the idea that person with low self-control is
more likely to become criminal. Weak institutions such as certain types of
families, the breakdown of local communities, and the breakdown of trust in
the government and the police are all linked to higher crime rates.

1. Disobedience and arrogance. The informants expressed
their thought and experiences that there are really certain factors or
difficulties that can affect their performance of duties like those citizens who
are disobedient and arrogant when they are just implementing the program in
line with the health protocols.
2. Resistance results to chaos. The informants expressed their

health protocol that should be followed. However, when these stubborn,
obedient and arrogant citizen does not want to be educated about the health
protocol, there will be cases that the informants will turn-over them to the
nearest police station for further instructions or if these citizens will not
listen to the informants.
3. Turn over to police station. The informants expressed their
thoughts and experiences about what is the best strategy in addressing these
problems encountered. They stated that whenever these not law abiding

if they will be assigned to another program.

CHAPTER 3
SUMMARY, FINDINGS AND IMPLICATIONS
This chapter presents the summary, findings, conclusion and the
researcher’s recommendation based on the data secured through a series of
interview using interview guide, voice recorder, and diary. This study was
conducted to understand what are the experiences of Task Force
KASALIGAN in policing the streets in Cebu City. The findings,
conclusions, and recommendation will be the basis for the action plan that
will be proposed.
Summary
This study explored the police stations specifically in Police Station 2
(Fuente Police Staion) and Police Station 9 (Guadalupe Police Station) in
Cebu City, by conducting interview to the Task Force KASALIGAN
personnel to know their experiences in policing the streets in Cebu City.
Based from the findings, an action plan can be proposed.

84
This study utilized the thematic method using the interview
questionnaire made by the researchers which was validated by expert. Police
Station 2 (Fuente Police Staion) and Police Station 9 (Guadalupe Police
Station) in Cebu City are the places in which the research was conducted,
each office has selected participants especially the Task Force
KASALIGAN personnel to answer our questions about their experiences in
policing the streets in Cebu City.
The result was tabulated, interpreted and evaluated in order to find the
answer to the problem of this data based on the data gathered.
This study aims to delve into the life experiences of the Task Force
KASALIGAN personnel in policing the streets in Cebu City.
Specifically, this study seeks answers to the following sub-questions:
1. What are the experiences of informants in the performance of their
duty?
2. What are the problems encountered by the informants in the
performance of their duty?
3. How do the informants address the problems encountered in the
performance of their duties?

85
4. What are the aspiration of the informants to improve the quality of
service rendered to the community?
The study employed a qualitative research using phenomenological
approach using an interview guide in delving into the Life Experience of the
Task Force KASALIGAN in Policing the Streets in Cebu City.
This study will be conducted in Cebu City, specifically in offices of
Police Station 2 (Fuente Police Staion) and Police Station 9 (Guadalupe
Police Station). The researcher is conducting the research in the Task Force
KASALIGAN personnel.
There will be twenty (20) participants, which is ten (10) Task Force
KASALIGAN personnel in Police Station 2 (Fuente Police Station) and ten
(10) Task Force KASALIGAN personnel in Police Station 9 (Guadalupe
Police Station) located area. The survey questionnaire will be distributed to
each Task Force KASALIGAN personnel in Cebu City specifically to the
said police stations mentioned above.

86
This research will consist of an individual discussion mixed with
group discussion. The instruments that will be use are interview guide and
recorder. The interview guide serves as a pattern of the researcher and serves
as primary basis for extracting information from the participant of the study
while the recorder will serve as secondary tool if in case that the researcher
can’t write all the information that will be given to him by the participant.
The procedures of this study will be carried out through asking
permission to the participants and ask them to sign the Informed Consent for
an approval of the participants to be interviewed. And the researchers as well
will use a voice recorder but before the interview, the respondent informed
the participants and at the same time the researchers also used a consent
form and sign by the participants.
We collected the data from and an interview with the use of a voice
recorder. Before the interview, we gave the interviewee an informed consent
form to explain the purpose and confidentiality of the interview. The
researchers personally administered the distribution and retrieval of the
consent forms from the respondent. The gathered data were processed and
transcribed into texts.

87
The data will be gathered during the in-depth interview guide will be
subject to the hermeneutical interpretation. The hermeneutical interpretation
moves forward and backward starting from the present through the rigorous
interaction and understanding of the phenomena is uncovered.
In compliance with the research ethics protocol, we obtained an
Informed Consent from the informants stipulating their awareness to the
purposes of the study, their agreement to participate as informants, their
freedom not to answer if they feel uncomfortable with the questions, the
welfare which may receive from the study and the confidentiality.
Findings
After meticulously scrutinizing and analyzing the responses of the
informants, we have created themes that addressed the sub-problems.
For the Views of the informants, we created eleven themes, namely;
Enjoyment of responsibility, Service to the community, Changed their
lives, Disobedience and arrogance, Resistance results to chaos,
Emotional Distress, Stubborn, Educating and Calm handiling, Turn
over to police station, Contributions, Stability and Teamwork.

88
1.The majority of the participants answered our 1 st question, What are
the experiences of informants in the performance of their duty? Most
common answer are, they are happy to serve the community, to help
the police officers in implementing the program, they experienced
helping those people who are in need, to perform their duties well and
mostly enjoyed their work because aside that it is related to their
studied course back in college, they stated that it is also now part of
their experiences as training.
The answer is based on the experience of the twenty (20) participants
in two (2) police stations in Cebu City, the Police Station 2 (Fuente
Police Station) and ten (10) Task Force KASALIGAN personnel in
Police Station 9 (Guadalupe Police Station).
2. In the question what are the problems encountered by the
informants in the performance of their duty? The most common
answers of twenty (20) informants are disobedience, arrogant, and
stubborn citizens.
89
3. From our third question, how do the informants address the
problems encountered in the performance of their duties? This
question analyzes the strategies made by the informants or in their
office in dealing those not law abiding citizens in line with the
implementation of the program (health protocols). Most of the health
protocols implemented by the informants are wearing of face masks,
practice social distancing, curfew, and conducting seminars and
orientation if the citizen get arrested and will not abide with these.
4. From our fourth sub problem question the informants was being
asked what are the aspiration of the informants to improve the quality
of service rendered to the community. Most of them stated that in
order to serve better the community, they should cooperate and have
teamwork, be more strict and well discipline in implementing the
program, and may they have a healthy body always.
Implication of the Study
This study has gathered ample data from the actual interview within the life
experiences of the Task Force KASALIGAN Personnel in policing the
streets in Cebu City. From the salient points of interest, we have come up
90
some vital suggestions and recommendation to the concerned individuals or
entities.
First, there shall be improvement of the program on how to deal or to
handle with those disobedient citizens especially those who uses force with
the authority. This would be initiated by the Philippine National Police
coordinated by DOH and IATF. The objective of the program is to
encourage cooperation of the community to know that the duties of the Task
Force KASALIGAN Personnel is for everyone’s safety. They need to show
cooperation by attending forums and awareness program initiated by the
government and other concerned agencies of the government.
Second, there is a need to address those areas where there are street
children who uses rugby, it is either because of addiction or to keep at ease
their hunger. They should take action regarding to this immediately.
Although this is not part of the health protocol program, however, this
should be one of their focus. As the saying goes, “KABATAAN ANG PAG-
ASA NG BAYAN”. We believe that everyone should be given a chance to
live their life better and correct everything that they have done wrong.
91
Third, in implementing such law, talking about health protocol. As we
have observed and listened to our informants’ answers, one thing that struck
to our mind was those citizens who have connections to higher rank
authority. Whenever they encountered such situation and when they
implement the program, they are being discriminated just because they are
just “that” and not a police officer. Also, worst comes to worst, they are
being challenged to call their connection (citizen’s connection with a higher
rank authority) that it is fine not to follow the health protocol being
implemented by the Task Force KASALIGAN personnel because of that.
And with that being said, this should be also addressed immediately. Worst
case scenario, it could be abused just because they have connection with the
officials.
Implications for Future Studies
To fill some gaps and areas that are now covered by this research, I
hereby recommend the following topics for future topics for future
researches:
First, we recommend that an in-depth study be conducted on the
impact of the minors who uses rugby in San Carlos Mango Cebu City and in
92
other places. This topic should be focused by the authority because this is
one of the huge problem in the community, by focusing this topic this may
unravel or solved the problem about the minors who uses rugby.
Second, we recommend that a study be made on the experience of street
children in this present situation in the community by giving them what they
need, especially, to where they should be living in a comfortable home, with
a healthy food and decent clothes. For we believe that every children or
every person has the right to have a better life and it should be at least,
prioritized by our government. So that, wherever their life takes them will
not go on the wrong direction. This topic or this study may help them to
have better life and in that case if the street children is being focused by the
authority then this may unravel or solved some issues that is being made by
the street children in the community.
In addition, if this topic will be focused then it can help our country
by reducing the rugby users especially the minors, because we believe in the
saying, “ANG KABATAAN ANG PAG-ASA NG BAYAN.
Lastly, we recommend that the topic or subject about minors who uses
rugby and the problems about the street children will be discussed and be
93
explained thoroughly in every education and it shall be part of the research
topics. So that, in the future, people who will read this study, especially our
government, may have an initiative to do something that can help these
minors who uses rugby.

Actually, our purpose of the task force kasaligan why is it

that the mayor and the CCPO have an agreement that
they would build a certain policing like task force
kasaligan was named after the sir Ligan the CCPO city
director.
1 IDI1
In terms of policing I cannot say that I am happy because
people are not law abiding citizen like now in pandemic
they are stubborn in wearing properly of facemask, face
shield, social distancing, I can’t be happy because any
person who will enforce the law you can encounter
people like this so what you do now is to be patient
2 To answer your question, I am happy because I was able IDI1
to help our country to lessen the COVID cases in our
society, now my experience in carbon I was assigned in
144
police station 5 people there they are not following the

law that the president have ordered, I encountered a
certain person he was mad at me because I reprimand
him and then he was shouting at me so what I did is just
keep calm, dili patulan, so you said that this is
confidential so naay police nga kaila ana nga tao so
personally dili ko ganahan nga mo drop kag name even a
police officer, I am not afraid of anyone gawas sa diyos,
Ang diyos ra atung gi kahadlokan so Wala ko nagpadala
Ako ra gi enforce Ang law mao Rana siya, to answer your
question if I am happy in terms of helping the society
and whole country yes I am happy.
Like what I said ganiha nga daghan ko experiences, mu
uli ko sa balay kuyawan ta Kay syempre nag enforce ka
sa law and naay mga tao Wala ka kaila and Wala ta
kahibaw atangan ta like amung kauban sa pardo ni
badlong ra siya dayun pagka gabei ana gi atangan siya, so
3 IDI1
kiyaw pero amping lang gyud tapos kung mag enforce
kag law dili ka dapat mag sige ug isog Kay Ang mga tao
makasabot ra Sila ug pasabton gawas lang kung kanang
tawhana naay problema sa pangisip. They will never
understand you.
4 Kanang muingon sila nga naa silay kaila nga dako ug rank IDI1
sa police agency.
Like sa akong naencounter, katong amo rang giingnan
ang mga taw sud sa awto, nga ipasuot ilang face mask ug
tarong kay daghan sila sud sa sakyanan. Gipangutana
5 IDI1
dayun ko ug kinsa daw ko ug asa nga station na assign.
Kay naa daw shay kaila nga dako ug rank sa police
agency.
Maka-sad ug dissastisfied. Sad kay nganong gamiton man

6 jud nila ang ilang mga kaila nga dagko ug rank kay para IDI1
lang makalingkawas sa balaod. Dissatisfied kay paminaw
nako mura mi ug way gamit.
7 Kailangan mag proper wearing of facemask, we also IDI1
operate like rugby boys pero with among leader
policeman, the problem is kanang maka dakop mi ug
145
minors nga among tuyo unta is ang mga bata is

mahuning sa ilang bisyo nga mag kuan ug rugby pero ang
nahitabo balik gihapon sila kay buhi-an man pud after
namo e turnover sa Barangay human ana mga after a
week mag rooving me naa nasad, so lisud mao nay
problema karun kay kami nag effort mi nga kana sila
mahawan unta unya dili nila usbon, pero wala murag
useless gihapon ang among kahago kay mao ra gihapon
balik among makit-an permi sa streets mga tulog ug mag
rugby.
Actually those among ma dakpan dili namo e turnover

diri adto sa Barangay usually but sometimes among dad-
on diri sa office and naa naman amuang womens desk
sila ang mag handle sa mga bata, mga minor ilan tudlo-
an, ilang e educate pero dili tong rugby boys kasagaran
ang rugby boys among e turnover didto sa Barangay then
8 ang Barangay nay bahal unsa ilang buhaton pero katung IDI1
minors nga ni violate sa not wearing of facemask nga nag
suroy suroy lang sa kadalanan ari namo e turnover diri,
nindot ilahang respond diri sa mga pulis kay abtik kayo
sila, kung sila ang mag handle pero kung Barangay lang
wala mi kahibalo unsaon nila kay after namo e turnover
ana mu lakaw pud mi dayun.
9 I think the best way of addressing those problems to IDI1

turnover directly to the police station because the
advantage of them is they know how to enforce the law
and how to educate the minors, they are the hope of our
country so we must take care of them, though they
commit crime but they are not punishable by law
because they are still minors and they have the right to
education, they have the right to have a good parenting,
so sadly I observe that the who have rescued wala nay
mga ginikanan so nahitabi is katung diri kaung gi
turnover namo sila diri gi tudlo-an sila sa policewomen
unsay mga dapat buhaton, unsay mga dili angay ug unsa
tong mga delinquent act nga maaaring maka guba sa
ilahang kaugmaon so not just rescued victims you should
146
do something in order for them to hace a good future.

As task force kasaligan im enforcing the law not just
implementing but I do some extra curricular activities
just like after sa among duty nag hatag ug mga packed
lunch, amo na ipang hatag sa mga nanginahanglan and
not just that kanang manghatag kag facrmask kay in this
pandemic we should be united as one para ta
makalingkawas ani nga crisis mga atung na experience
karun aning panahona, dili lang kay sige ta implement
10 IDI1
kung unsay gi sulti sa president dapat go beyond ana abi
kay kana ra kana rapud imuhang buhaton so dapat
mubuhat kag kanang something maka tabang sa imung
mga kababayan, siguro kung ako lang sa akung
kaugalingun kay nag lisud man ta ron sa panginabuhi
siguro mo hatag lang ug mga facemask, faceshield or
panginabuhian nila nga dili na sila mu dungag ug
problema sa nasud kay pandemic man karun.
11 As task force kasaligan like what I said we are not just IDI1
implementing the wearing of proper facemask, social
distancing siguro I wish that the whole organization will
also conduct operation like the police station did, rugby
boys we are rescuing minors who are commiting
delinquent acts because not all the task force kasaligan
members we are not just implementing rules about this
pandemic bu also rescued children committing like
curfew mga delinquent acts nga naa sa Republic Act
9344 nga amo nang gipaningkamutan nga dili na nila ma
commit, so I wish that all this organization not only
focusing on this pandemic problem but also focus on the
children, what they are doing now is not good because
as what I have said that they are the future of our
country so we ,ust preserve them and educate them to
restore if they have committed like drugs or nay uban
nga sugoon tungod sa kapobrehon nabuhat nila angay
dili buhaton unta like ang uban na abuse, so I wish nga
maka makatabang mi sa PNP kay ang PNP dili lang kay
147
kana ilang gi problema diba naa pud mga national

violence, terrorism daghan silag problema so kami akung
wish unta makatabang mi sa organization not just the
organization but within the society, nation and globally,
kita tanan mag tinabangay dili lang kay ang usa r aka
organization kay nagsugod nato ang kalambo sa atung
kumunidad.

6 ko nga if 100% naa ray 40% nga dili pero if e rate lang siya ban
aa may uban mo tuo pero sakit gihapon sa among huna-huna
kay amo baya gi push among gi buhat ang tanan kay para dili
sia magka sakit kay grabe baya ang pandemya karun.
7 Street children grabe nakay sila ka daghan dili na namo sila IDI2
ma take over tanan ba then maluoy sad mi kay pareha namo
nanarbaho rasad gud mi unya wala mi ikahatag nil aba.
Problema gyud ang street children kay walay ika support ang
pamilya sa ilaha, wala silay balay dayun dili sila ka wear ug
facemask kay wala silay ika palit dayun mag suroy-suroy ra sila
150
sa kadalanan.
Sometimes naa mi madala nga street children diei after IDI2

seminar saw omens desk pakaunon sila then pangitaon ang
8
mga ginikanan ug asa sila dapit nag puyo dayun tagaan silag
mga mask or any foods kung nay mahatg ang police officer.
Kanang amo silang ihatud sa center kung asa sila pwedeng IDI2
ihatud for example sa barangay or didto sa labangon kay
maka kaon man sila ug tarung ug dapat dili ma abo tug 24
hours dapt dili makuptan sa GAD FOCAL e return man gyud na
sa ginikanan, so may nalang naka kaon sila dili sila maka
pangawat within the day, kay kung ang street children man
9
gud naa ra sila dinha dili nimo sila e interrupt kanang ma focus
sila nga makabuhat sila ug dili mayo for example mang snatch,
mang nunggab, pero may nalang amo sila ma hatud didto kay
sa day nga madakpan namo sila mapugngan ang ilahang mga
binuhatan sa isig ka adlaw-adlaw bahalg mag sige mig
panakop diha everyday basta dili sila kabuhat ug dili mayo.
Ang ganahan naku ma achieve nga unta wala nay kung IDI2
maminaw lang gyud ang mga ginikanan ba about sa street
children ganahan man jud ko nga bisag naa may uabn nga
minor nga dagko na gani nga maka tabang-tabang na sila sa
ilang mga ginikanan ganahan ko mag sturya nila kay para kay
para maka realize sila ba nga mangita silag pamaagi dili kay
10
kanang mangawat ug mang snatch, ganahan ko nga e esturya
naku e share nako ba kay para maka realize sila kay syempre
naa sad baya na silay huna-huna nay uban maminaw kay s aka
daghan nila nay uban nga maminaw so na kuhaan to sila if
maminaw sila nimo, akung ganahan jud e achieve no kay unta
wala nay street children.
11 Wish naku nga madugay pani ang task force kasaligan kay IDI2
grabe kayo ang impact niya sa community ug sa amo nga kami
mga trabahante mga employees sa cityhall nag wish gyud ko
nga hantud sa hantud ang kasaligan. Grabe bitaw grabe ang
among pag sakripisyo grabe ang among kanang manglakaw mi
gikan station abo tug kanang lain-lain nga barangay para ma
cover-up lang namo tanan ang mga minors or ang mga
violators nga dili mo follow sa mga rules karun mao rana nga
151
magdugay pa ang TFK para daghan pang mabuhat sa

community.

influence sa ubang tao then in the near future
makapangayo sad ka nilag tabang niya, niya in the near
future sad maka tabang sad sila nimo give and take.
2 Ahh! Made me open to all socialize other people and be IDI3
152

3
sad siguro maka pangayo silag tabang nako na a sad koy
ma tabang.
Kana ba dis-obedience of authority ba, mao jud na siya IDI3

4 ang pinaka number one problem niya mao sad siguro na
e tubag sa uban.
Kana gyud kai naay uban gani tubag tubagon paka, IDI3
pinaka worst dapatan paka daganan ka ana maojud na
5 siya mag lisud me ana nga part tungod sa ka gahig ulo sa
mga tao sa Guadalupe niya mao na siya detailed nga
description.
O uy kanang ma dissatisfy ka niya sad, sad ko makibaw IDI3
na ing ani diay ka dis-oriented ang mga tao ing ani ka
way Batasan and tao niya di gyud sila maka follow ug
6 simple lang jud nga instruction mag wear lang tag mask
niya dili lang ta mag kuag maayo yapok lisud kaayopara
nato ana lang maka sad lang kai simple instruction dili ka
follow.
7 Kanang dili magtarung ug sul-ob sa mask IDI3
8 Kanang gahi kayg o supak supak kanang mang dapat ug IDI3

unsa pana diha
9 Usa rapod siguro no sa question no.3 strategy ang ge IDI3
kuan. Ang office gyud, ganahan na sila ug stikto nga
instruction dad on ganahan sila ge strikto niya pero ma
emerce ka sa amoang roving di jud ka maka ingun na
dakop dakop strikto strikto jud kay ngano diha ka maka
kita ug lain laing mga tao example nag karga ug bas ana
nag trabahog maayo nag construction wala lang nka

satisfy is mahimo namo among duty nga tarong so for
1 example make apprehend me nga mga Wala ga mask, IDI9

168
mo coordinate ang tanan.
So mostly we encountered arrogant person hard headed, IDI9

Arrogant ang uban isug jud kaau nga si sila mag mask Kay IDI9
5 naa ra gwas sa ilaha ka pang mga gahig uli ig padung

Maka dis-satisfy jud Kay kanang we are not doing this IDI9

1 As a mamadlong lang for example malimot ug suot sa IDI10
mask kay health protocol kay mao man na among gy
kuan di mi ma lapas sa among gy kuan nga trabaho,
happy ko nga nakatabang ko sa ilaha dire sa pag badlong
sa mga gahig-ulo sa brgy. Actually naa juy daghang
badlongon nga among na sugatan.
2 I am satisfied sa pag kuan namo dire akung ingon nga IDI10

happy ko kay daghan mig nabuhat dire nga naa say uban
170
nga daghan na tabang like sa PNP happy sad ko kay

nakatabang mis organization sa PNP then wala ko ni
ingon nga satisfied ko kahibaw naka nga dili tanan nga
naa kuan gyud kay tanang brgy. Dire sa guadalupe pirte
jud daghana then naay uban di jud mo patuo ba then
naa say uban mo too sila ang uban bisag unsaon ug
badlong tagaan ug Chena next day ana balik na pud sila
maong naka ingon ko nga na pod ko na satisfied sa
ubang trabaho.
Grabe siyag impact sa akung kinabuhi kay this job dili ni IDI10
siya sama sa ubang trabaho kau challenge kalayo siya ba
na kuan pa jud siya sa akung gy eskwelahan nga BSCRIM
3
ug nakuha pud nako among te train sa eskwelahan ug
nagamit jud ba ang gy pang tudlo ni Atty. Sabijon ug sa
ubang teacher sa UC.
Daghan, lots of problem among na encounter kay as IDI10

4 what i said nga daghag badlongon dili mo patuo naay
mga bata nga madakpan.
Maluoy sad ko siyempre ubang mga bata uban sa IDI10

tiguwang mga galih ulo hasul mo kuan namis mga
barangay mura man ug lahi na kaayog tinan-awan namo
5
mora nag na suko namo ba. Kay nairita na sila namo nga
sigeg pabadlong unya wa sila kahibaw nga para nila ra
sad ni among gi buhat.
Ma feel sad nako nga maglagot nako pero trabaho IDI10

raman. Sa uban namo nga trabaho, makaingun jud ko
6
nga nay times nga di ko ma satisfy labi na ug dili mo
patuo
Wala jud kau mi naka atubang ug grabe nga problema IDI10

ang amoa lang kay ma problema mi kay lagyo nga brgy.
7 Wala mi service, usahay naa mi ma dakpan nga mga
minors, adult nga violators dili namo ma kuan tanan kay
tungod kulang ang sakyanan sa Guadalupe.
171
Ang sulbad ra kay senia sa among kauban like motor mo IDI10

tabang nalang sad sila ug hakot sa mga dihalepan
8
usahay ang PNP mo provide nalang ug ilahang
kaugalingon ng sakyanan.
Pinaka the best namong buhaton kay tagaan namog IDI10

9 chance ug malapas na gai amo na jud ipadeliver sa
labangon Aron ma tagam na jud sila
Di ko mo ingon nga maka contribute ko kay daghan man IDI10

10 mi unya maka contribute ko as gamay lang sa pag
tabang sa PNP
Unta, hopefully matagaan pod mig lain nga job nga lain IDI10
11 nga job ang ipa recommend sa amoa nga atleast
makatabang mis community.

medyo kuwang siguro kuan, kay dili man

protekta sad ba naa sad rabay times nga

nay kuwang kana lang sigurong
proteksyon sa among kaugalingun ug
naa bay kung maka dakop mi pusas
dayun dili lang kay ingun gunitan gud,
lisud kay nang gunitan gud (FGD1-
3SS10). (Maybe, to implement the
protocol and one thing if there is lacking,
because there are times that we cannot
avoid it from happening. There are
places that are hazardous especially if
we encounter pick pocketers, maybe
equipment so that we can protect
ourselves too. If we arrest someone, not
only we hold them but we have the
equipment to handcuff them).
para nako kay mayta maka huna-huna
sila nga ang TFK ang function nila dili ra
sa about sa mask kay mahoman jud ni
namo ma accomplish sa TFK nga ma
zero na ang pandemic, hope maka huna-
huna sila nga dili ra ing-ana among
function pwede sad mi mo roving or
atleast lang mo discipline sa mga tao ug
mo badlong or inig curfew mu assist sa
FGD1 -
11 mga police ing-ana dili ra sa mask, hope 11
maka huna-huna ang gobyerno ana
3
(FGD1-3SS11). (For me, I hope they will
think for TFK that our function is not
about the mask but to accomplish our
goal in making the pandemic to zero
cases, I hope they will also think that we
can do things such as roving or atleast to
discipline stubborn people or at times in
curfew, we assist police officers).

Same ra gihapon sa ilaha kay sa
panakop malingaw man gyud mi tanan
kay pariha ana gukod, pabaktason man
namo among dinakpan kuyog man na
kung asa mi maabot kuyog man sila
tanan maka kuan gyud ka nga mu
tagam sila, maka learn sila ug lesson sa
among pag lakaw-lakaw palang daan FGD2 –
1 1
(FGD2-4SS1). (Same with them, because 4
whenever we arrest someone, we enjoy
it because they will also join us in
walking throughout our roving. You will
really see that they will refrain from
doing it again because it also tiring on
their part and that they have really
learned a lesson).
Happy kay makita man gud namo nga ig
balik namo ana nga lugar na accomplish
namo nga nag mask na gyud sila ba ig
balik namo gamay nalang man mi
madakpan kay ig kita nila sa amo
managan na ang uban mag mask so
accomplish ang among lakaw sa first so
mao nang maka sulti ko nga effective mi FGD2 –
2 usa ka team sa station 2 (FGD2-4SS2). 2
4
(Happy because we can really see that if
we go back to that place where we went
to, accomplished because some are
really wearing their mask properly and
that some will really go back to their
house to get face mask. That is why I can
really say that we are effective team in
station 2).
3 Kanang pag sul-ob sa mask habit na ba FGD2 – 3
dili na murag compliance kada gawas 4
nimo obliged najud ka mag sul-0b ug
197
mask, faceshield dayun and distancing.

Ang ginapangdakop sa gawas amo pud
gi apply sa among kaugalingun asta
pamilya gikan sa batang gamay hantud
sa dako, na apply namo sa among
kaugalingun (FGD2-4SS3). (When we
wear our face mask, it should be a habit
not just for compliance, whenever you
go out you should be obliged to wear it
and then face shield and distancing. We
not only do our work outside we also
apply it to our family at home, may it be
children or adults, especially to
ourselves).
Miscommunication, pareho sa rugby

boys nga wala pami ka plastar sa pikas
side nanaog na sila tanan sa pikas
(FGD2-4SS4). (Miscommunication, just FGD2 –
4 4
like the operation for rugby boys, we are 4
still not yet done placing ourselves
properly on the other side, however, on
the other side they already went off).
Miscoordination kanang didto ta

padung, diri ta padung sinyas-sinyas ra
hinay magpadagan ug motor mao na
nabiyaan na mangita na ug asa
mangutana na asa nga land mark, pag
abot na sa san jose naa napud sila sa
NBI naa nasad sa san jose bakeshop
FGD2 –
unahan ba so mao to ni ingun ko diha 5
5 nalang mo oy (FGD2-4SS5). 4
(Miscoordination, like when we go to
this certain place, we even do our signs
and just let them drive slowly. And we
went to san jose, they said they are at
NBI, and back again to san jose
bakeshop. So, I just said that they just
stay put there).
198
Dili pud sya sad dili pud happy naa lang

sya sa in between lang kay kulang jud sa
practice, dapat more practice pa gyud
briefing unsa mao gyud ni plano sa sige
practice ma improve raman gyud na FGD2 –
6 6
(FGD2-4SS6). (Not sad nor happy, it’s just 4
in between because of lack of practive,
more practice and briefing if what
should be the plan, because practice
makes improvement).
7 Gamitan jud ug posisyon sa gobyerno FGD2 – 7

pareha anang konsehal nga among gi 4
sita gamitan kag kinonsehal nga nay
mga kaila nga sige tawagi si kernel, mga
pulis naa mi kuan diha tawagi lang siya.
Unya kana sad pangitaan ug twist ang
program, o wala ko nag facemask pero
nag faceshield man ko pangitaan jud ka
ug bikil, abuse of authority, maximum
tolerance gyud, kung maka encounter ug
ingun-ana amo ipasa sa dako namo, mu
ingun mi nga sir ikaw lang kuan ana nila
kay naa man kay ika bangga ana nila sir
(FGD2-4SS7). (They will use their position
in government, just like when we
confronted the councilor he then used
his power that he knows someone like
he wants us to call Colonel, police
officers that we have business there.
And then, they will also find ways to
twist the program, “I don’t have face
mask but I have face shield” they will
really find loopholes, abuse of authority,
maximum tolerance is the key. That is
why when we encounter something like
that, we just pass it to our team leader
199
which is a police officer since he has the

rank that he can be proud of).
Turnover namo sa among organic, kung

dili gyud ma handle namo as enforcer
ang among organic na gyud mo action
kung dili pud niya madala manawag pud
syag back-up kay mas mahadlok man
gud sila kay pulis na ba, armado, pareha
atung rugby boy pag raid nila ug nay mo
aksyon ug sukol kasahan man dayun
nila, mao na mu ubos jud ang kaisog
FGD2 –
8 niya kay tungod sa visibility (FGD2-4SS8). 8
(Turnover it to our organic, if we cannot
4
handle it as an enforcer, then our
organic will take action and if they will
not handle it as well then they will also
call for back up since they will be
frightened if a police officer who is
armed. Just like when they raid the
rugby boys, if someone will use force
they will just cock their pistols).
Practice gyud dapat kada lihok mo

coordinate gyud ta mo communicate jud
tanan, nay briefing before mag jump off
para pareha tanan ug dagan sa utok
(FGD2-4SS9). (Practice every action, we FGD2 –
9 9
should coordinate to each other and 4
more on communication to all, must
have briefing before jumping off so that
everyone has the same mind in
performing the work).
10 Lisud e improve kay fix na ang program, FGD2 – 10

dapat lang gyud vaccinated kay naa 4
man gyud dili mag mask kay mag lisud
ug ginhawa labi na senior kinahanglan
200
lang gyud vaccinated tanan dayun

cooperation kay mao naman gyud ni dili
na mawala ang mask (FGD2-4SS10). (It is
hard to improve because the program is
already fixed, that is why we msut be
really be vaccinated because some will
really not wear their mask because they
have difficulty of breathing especially
senior citizens. That is why we should be
vaccinated because wearing of face
mask is forever).
Taas among sweldo ma renew me, kay

nahulog raman gyud mi nga project base
depende man ni sa covid, kung mo saka
ang kaso padayun pamig trabaho pero
ug mu naog na gani ang kaso aw
goodbye (FGD2-4SS11). (May we have an FGD2 –
11 11
increased salary and be renewed, 4
because we are only based on a project
and it depends if the covid cases will
rise, then we continue our job, but if the
covid cases will decreased then
goodbye).

Actually, our purpose of the task force

kasaligan why is it that the mayor and
the CCPO have an agreement that
they would build a certain policing like
task force KASALIGAN was named
after sir Ligan the CCPO City Director.
In terms of policing I cannot say that I
am happy because people are not law
abiding citizen like now in pandemic
they are stubborn in wearing properly
of facemask, face shield, social
distancing, I can’t be happy because
any person who will enforce the law
you can encounter people like this so
what you do now is to be patient (IDI-

2 To answer your question, I am happy IDI1 2

because I was able to help our country
to lessen the COVID cases in our
society, now my experience in carbon
I was assigned in police station 5
people there they are not following
the law that the president have
ordered, I encountered a certain
person he was mad at me because I
reprimand him and then he was
shouting at me so what I did is just
keep calm, dili patulan, so naay police
nga kaila ana nga tao so personally
dili ko ganahan mo drop kag name
even a police officer, I am not afraid
of anyone gawas sa diyos, ang diyos
ra atung gi kahadlokan so wala ko
nagpadala ako ra gi enforce ang law
mao rana siya, to answer your

yes I am happy (IDI-1SS2). (To answer

who knows that someone. So
personally I don’t like you when you
drop name even a police officer, I am
not afraid of anyone exept God, God
is the only one who we should afraid
of and so I did not let them frightened
me. I am just enforcing the law and
203
that’s it. To answer your question if I

am happy in terms of helping the
society and whole country yes I am
happy).
3 Like what I said ganiha nga daghan ko IDI1 3
experiences. Mu uli ko sa balay
kuyawan ta kay syempre nag enforce
ka sa law and naay mga tao wala ka
kaila and wala ta kahibaw atangan ta
like amung kauban sa pardo ni
badlong ra sya dayun pagka gabei
ana gi atangan siya, so kuyaw pero
amping lang gyud tapos kung mag
enforce kag law dili ka dapat mag
sige ug isog kay ang mga tao
makasabot ra Sila ug pasabton gawas
lang kung kanang tawhana naay
problema sa pangisip. They will never
understand you (IDI-1SS3). (Like what
I said earlier that I have a lot of
experiences. Whenever I go home, I’m
also afraid, of course, since we are
enforcing the law and there are
people we really don’t know and they
might just wait somewhere and do
something bad with us. Just like one
of my colleagues in Pardo, he just
confronted someone about the
protocol and in that evening same day
he was being waited by that someone
he confronted. So it is really also
frightening but we must be careful.
And when you enforce the law, don’t
do it with pride because people will
understand if you educated and
approached them properly, except
when that person is mentally
204
challenged. They will never

understand you).
Kanang muingon sila nga naa silay

kaila nga dako ug rank sa police
4 agency (IDI-1SS4). (Whenever they IDI1 4
say that they know someone who has
a high rank in police agency).
Like sa akong naencounter, katong
amo rang giingnan ang mga taw sud
sa awto, nga ipasuot ilang face mask
ug tarong kay daghan sila sud sa
sakyanan. Gipangutana dayun ko ug
kinsa daw ko ug asa nga station na
assign. Kay naa daw shay kaila nga
dako ug rank sa police agency (IDI-
5 IDI1 5
1SS5). (Like what I have encountered,
when we approached them nicely and
said that they must wear their face
masks since they are too many inside
the car. I was then asked if who am I
and where station I was assigned
because they know people in police
agency who has high ranks).
Maka-sad ug dissastisfied. Sad kay

nganong gamiton man jud nila ang
ilang mga kaila nga dagko ug rank
kay para lang makalingkawas sa
balaod. Dissatisfied kay paminaw
6 nako mura mi ug way gamit (IDI- IDI1 6
1SS6). (Sad and dissastified. Sad
because why do they use someone of
they know who has high rank in police
agency so that they can get away
from the protocol. Dissastified
because I felt we are useless).
7 Kailangan mag proper wearing of IDI1 7
facemask, we also operate like rugby
205
boys pero with among leader

policeman, the problem is kanang
maka dakop mi ug minors nga among
tuyo unta is ang mga bata is
mahunong sa ilang bisyo nga mag
kuan ug rugby pero ang nahitabo
balik gihapon sila kay buhi-an man
pud after namo e turnover sa
Barangay human ana mga after a
week mag rooving me naa nasad, so
lisud mao nay problema karun kay
kami nag effort mi nga kana sila
mahawan unta unya dili nila usbon,
pero wala murag useless gihapon ang
among kahago kay mao ra gihapon
balik among makit-an permi sa
streets mga tulog ug mag rugby (IDI-
1SS7). (We need to wear our face
mask properly and we also operate to
rugby boys but with our team leader
police officer. The problem is when
we arrest minor who uses rugby we
only want them to stop from using it
however they will go back to their
vices again because the barangay will
just let them go after we turned ovet
it to them. So, after a week, whenever
we do our rounds, they are back
again. So it is a bit hard for us,
because we put so much effort in
lessening or keeping them away from
it and not let them use it again, but it
still useless because our efforts are
just put to waste. We still see them on
streets sleeping and using rugby).
8 Actually those among ma dakpan dli IDI1 8

206
namo e turnover diri adto sa

Barangay usually but sometimes
among dad-on diri sa office and naa
naman amuang womens desk sila ang
mag handle sa mga bata, mga minor
ilan tudlo-an, ilang e educate pero dili
tong rugby boys kasagaran ang
rugby boys among e turnover didto sa
Barangay then ang Barangay nay
bahala unsa ilang buhaton pero
katung minors nga ni violate sa not
wearing of facemask nga nag suroy
suroy lang sa kadalanan ari namo e
turnover diri, nindot ilahang respond
diri sa mga pulis kay abtik kayo sila,
kung sila ang mag handle pero kung
Barangay lang wala mi kahibalo
unsaon nila kay after namo e turnover
ana mu lakaw pud mi dayun (IDI-
1SS8). (Actually, those minors that we
arrest we turn it over here in the
office and not in Barangay. Since
there is already a women’s desk, they
are the one who will educate them
especially those minors who are just
roaming around the streets not
wearing their face masks but when it
comes to rugby boys, we will turn
them over to barangay then they will
be the one who will take care of
them. The respond of the officer here
is so great because they take action
immediately, unlike in barangay, since
we only turn those rugby boys to
them afterwards we will just leave. So
we don’t know if what they will do to
them).
207
9 I think the best way of addressing IDI1 9

those problems to turnover directly to
the police station because the
advantage of them is they know how
to enforce the law and how to
educate the minors, they are the hope
of our country so we must take care
of them, though they commit crime
but they are not punishable by law
because they are still minors and they
have the right to education, they have
the right to have a good parenting, so
sadly I observe that the minors who
have rescued wala nay mga ginikanan
so nahitabo is katung diri gi turnover
namo sila diri gi tudlo-an sila sa
policewomen unsay mga dapat
buhaton, unsay mga dili angay ug
unsa tong mga delinquent act nga
maaaring maka guba sa ilahang
kaugmaon so not just rescued victims
you should do something in order for
them to have a good future (IDI-
1SS9). (I think the best way of

still minors and they have the right to
education, they have the right to have
a good parenting, so sadly I observe
that the minors who we have rescued
doesn’t have any family at all. So,
what happened is that those who are
being turned over here in office they
were being educated by the
208
policewomen if what they should do,

what they should avoid and what are
those delinquent acts that can make
their life miserable in the future if
they keep on doing it. So we rescue
them and do something good for
them to have a good future).
10 As task force KASALIGAN, I’m IDI1 10
enforcing the law not just
implementing but I do some extra
curricular activities just like after sa
among duty nag hatag ug mga
packed lunch, amo na ipang hatag sa
mga nanginahanglan and not just
that kanang manghatag kag
faermask kay in this pandemic we
should be united as one para ta
makalingkawas ani nga crisis mga
atung na experience karun aning
panahona, dili lang kay sige ta
implement kung unsay gi sulti sa
president dapat go beyond ana abi
kay kana ra kana rapud imuhang
buhaton so dapat mubuhat kag
kanang something maka tabang sa
imung mga kababayan, siguro kung
ako lang sa akung kaugalingun kay
nag lisud mn ta ron sa panginabuhi
siguro mo hatag lang ug mga
facemask, faceshield or
panginabuhian nila nga dili na sila mu
dungag ug problema sa nasud kay
pandemic man karun (IDI-1SS10). (As
task force KASALIGAN, I’m enforcing
the law not just implementing but I do
some extra curricular activities just
like after our duty, they will give us
packed lunch, we will give it instead
209
to those who are more in need of it

and not just that, we also give face
mask to them because in this
pandemic we should be united as one
for us to get off from this crisis that
we have been experiencing. Not just
only we keep on implementing what
the president said but we must go
beyond our limits to help our fellow
citizen do something good to them as
well).
11 As task force kasaligan like what I IDI1 11

said we are not just implementing the
wearing of proper facemask, social
distancing siguro I wish that the
whole organization will also conduct
operation like the police station did,
rugby boys we are rescuing minors
who are commiting delinquent acts
because not all the task force
kasaligan members we are not just
implementing rules about this
pandemic but also rescued children
committing like curfew mga
delinquent acts nga naa sa Republic
Act 9344 nga amo nang
gipaningkamutan nga dili na nila ma
commit, so I wish that all this
organization not only focusing on this
pandemic problem but also focus on
the children, what they are doing now
is not good because as what I have
said that they are the future of our
country so we must preserve them
and educate them to restore if they
have committed like drugs or nay
210
uban nga sugoon tungod sa

kapobrehon nabuhat nila angay dili
buhaton unta like ang uban na abuse,
so I wish nga maka makatabang mi sa
PNP kay ang PNP dili lang kay kana
ilang gi problema diba naa pud mga
national violence, terrorism daghan
silag problema so kami akung wish
unta makatabang mi sa organization
not just the organization but within
the society, nation and globally, kita
tanan mag tinabangay dili lang kay
ang usa r aka organization kay
nagsugod nato ang kalambo sa atung
kumunidad (IDI-1SS11). (As team
kasaligan like what I said we are not
simply implementing the wearing of
facemask, social distancing. I wish
that the entire association will
likewise lead activity like the police
headquarters did, rugby young men
we are safeguarding minors who are
commiting delinquent demonstrations
on the grounds that not all the team
kasaligan individuals we are executing
rules about this pandemic as well as
saved youngsters committing
delinquent acts nga naa like in
Republic Act 9344 we are doing our
best that they will not do such kind of
acts, so I wish that all this
pandemic problem but also focus on
the children, what they are doing now
is not good because as what I have
said that they are the future of our
country so we must preserve them
211
and educate them to restore if they

have committed like drugs or nay
uban nga sugoon tungod sa
buhaton unta like ang uban na
misuse, so I wish that we can help the
PNP in our own way in lessening them
because the PNP has been dealing so
much problem in our community.
Might as well that we do something
good to help them in lessening their
problems here in community, which is
those rugby boys, we will keep on
striving to get them away from the
drugs).

kasaligan sa 1 year and a half year,
naka implement mi ug nindot nga

nato karun ang minors dili jud maka
gawas because of the covid, then
kami mag rooving mi sa mga isig ka
barangay then if naa mi madakpan na
mga minors or dagko na mga tao dili
na minors amo na siya e turnover sa
GAD FOCAL, so GAD FOCAL naa mana
siya sa barangay then ang barangay
na mo discipline sa mga minors then

ug wala ang task force kasaligan para
sa ako-a lang ha dako kay mig na
tabang sa community kay kami nag

control ang mga tao nga dili tanan
mang gawas kay naa man tay mga
dili pajud pwede mang gawas except

my experience in Task Force
KASALIGAN in 1 and a half years, we
implemented good policies for
minors, in this pandemic, minors are
not allowed to go out because of the
COVID, then we do our rounds to
each barangay then if we arrest some
minors or young adults, we will turn
them over to GAD FOCAL. So GAD
FOCAL is in the barangay, then they
will be the one who will take care of
213
those violators and disciplined them

and we will just leave afterwards. For
me, TFK is a really big help in our
community because without us there
will be more violators than today and
we really do control people in letting
them go out, except those who are
workers).

gahi ug ulo naa jud uban nga dili mu

namo sila madakop as a violation of
obedience, disobedience kayo nga tao

sa ramos (IDI-2SS4). (Our problem are
4 those stubborn citizens and they IDI2 4
won’t believe that the virus exists, so
we cannot force them to believe it
and what we will do is to just really
implement the protocol with the best
that we can. And if they will still insist
then we can really arrest them since
they are in violation of obedience,
disobedience citizen is we highly
arrest them and turn them over to
Ramos).
5 About sa rugby boys grabe di mi ka IDI2 5

experience nga sa amo ganing pag
OJT sauna wa maka experience nga

nya katun experience namo tungod sa
ganahan mi mausab pa ang rugby
boys gani nga inig madakpan namo
sila maka realize sila nga dapat dili
215
nata mo ingun-ani pero useless

raman gihapon kay dili naman patuo
kay ga gamit man gud sila ug rugby
(IDI-2SS5). (About rugby boys, we
have extreme experience to it.
Compare it to our OJT before, we did
not experience jumping off in the
bridge and chase them just because
we want them to change and make
them realize that what they are doing
is not right. However, it still useless
because they won’t listen because
they have been using it).
6 sad ko kay sa among gibuhat nay IDI2 6

uban nga gi kataw-an rami sa among

para dili sila magka sakit kay grabe
baya ang pandemya karun (IDI-2SS6).

laugh us in implementing the
protocols or the rules that they won’t
believe, but I can say that if out of
100% there are 40% who won’t
believe if I rate it. There are still
citizens who will believe us, however
it still a bit sad and painful for us since
we have been pushing our limits and
doing our best for them not to get sick
216
since the pandemic is really tough).
Street children grabe nakay sila ka

daghan dili na namo sila ma take over
tanan ba then maluoy sad mi kay
pareha namo nanarbaho rasad gud
mi unya wala mi ikahatag nila ba.
Problema gyud ang street children
kay walay ika support ang pamilya sa
ilaha, wala silay balay dayun dili sila
ka wear ug facemask kay wala silay
ika palit dayun mag suroy-suroy ra
sila sa kadalanan (IDI-2SS7). (Street
7 IDI2 7
children, they have been increasing
and we cannot take over them all at
once then I pity them because just like
us, we are just also working and we
don’t have anything that we can give
to them. They are really a problem
since these street children don’t have
any families anymore and doesn’t
have any homes so they have no
money to buy face mask and they
keep on roaming around the streets).
8 Sometimes naa mi madala nga street IDI2 8

children diri after seminar sa womens
desk pakaunon sila then pangitaon
ang mga ginikanan ug asa sila dapit
nag puyo dayun tagaan silag mga
mask or any foods kung nay mahatg
ang police officer (IDI-2SS8).

children here, after seminar with the
women’s desk officers, they will give
food to eat and find their families or
where they are living and they will be
given face masks or any foods if there
217
are still left by the police officers).
9 Kanang amo silang ihatud sa center IDI2 9

kung asa sila pwedeng ihatud for
example sa barangay or didto sa
labangon kay maka kaon man sila ug
tarung ug dapat dili ma abot ug 24
hours dapt dili makuptan sa GAD
FOCAL e return man gyud na sa
ginikanan, so may nalang naka kaon
sila dili sila maka pangawat within
the day, kay kung ang street children
man gud naa ra sila dinha dili nimo
sila e interrupt kanang ma focus sila
nga makabuhat sila ug dili mayo for
example mang snatch, mang
nunggab, pero may nalang amo sila
ma hatud didto kay sa day nga
madakpan namo sila mapugngan ang
ilahang mga binuhatan sa isig ka
adlaw-adlaw bahalag mag sige mig
panakop diha everyday basta dili sila
kabuhat ug dili mayo (IDI-2SS9).
(Whenever we bring them to the
centers or if wherever they will be
brought. For example in barangays or
in Labangon because they will be
given something to eat and must not
exceed within 24 hours by the GAD
FOCAL, They must be released and
returned to their families, so, atleast,
they were able to eat something and
that they will not robbed something
within the day. If you don't interrupt
those street children, they will really
focus on doing something bad,
example, robbery, stabbing someone.
218
That is why we need to arrest them

even if we do it everyday just to not
let them do anything that can cause
bad to someone or in our
community.).
Ang ganahan naku ma achieve nga

unta wala nay street children, kung
maminaw lang gyud ang mga
ginikanan ba about sa street children
ganahan man jud ko nga bisag naa
may uban nga minor nga dagko na
gani nga maka tabang-tabang na sila
sa ilang mga ginikanan ganahan ko
mag sturya nila kay para maka realize
sila ba nga mangita silag pamaagi dili
kay kanang mangawat ug mang
snatch, ganahan ko nga e esturya
naku e share nku ba kay para maka
realize sila kay syempre naa sad baya
na silay huna-huna nay uban
10 IDI2 10
maminaw (IDI-2SS10). (One thing I
want to achieved is that may we don't
have any street children anymore, if
only parents will listen to us about
these street children, I really want to
do things that can also help in
lessening it. Since there are also street
children who are young adults that
can help their parents in finding jobs
at least. I want to talk with these
parents also that they can still do
something good, not just robbing
someone and let them realize that
they are still capable of being a good
citizen.)

KASALIGAN will be lengthen its years

that I hope this will be my job forever
since this has made us a huge impact
even the people in Cityhall. We have
been putting our efforts, blood and
sweat with this job. We were able to
go different barangays by just walking
everyday under the sun just to cover
up all those minors or violators who
cannot follow the rules. That's it, I
hope TFK will still be lengthen its job

5 Kana gyud kai naay uban gani tubag IDI3

description is that there are some

that they fight back with force. We
really have difficulty on that one
because of the stubbornness of the

(Yes, it really dissatisfies me or sad,

of wearing the face masks properly
and not gather in one place. It makes
me sad that they cannot follow simple
instruction).

strikto nga instruction dad on

nag karga ug bas ana nag trabahog
maayo nag construction wala lang

kutas ana gani. Mao rana siya mo
hatag lang mig consideration sa mga
ing ana nga part pero masugatan
namo ba laag laag lang wa naka
mask kana syiempre instrikto jud tag
enforce sa balaod ana mao na siya
among strategy ana sad in relation sa
no.2 nga kanang gahi kayg o supak
supak kanang mang dapat ug unsa
pana diha hinayun lng jud namog
approach as possible hinayun ug
storya syiempre and result ana
hinayun ra pud ka ug tubag (IDI-
3SS9).
(The office really like a strict
instruction. They like us bringing
violators. But if you emerced with us,
you can say that we are not really that
strict. For example, there is a
223
construction worker who is carrying a

sack of sand who forgot to wear their
face mask, and you want to strictly
implement to them. In myself, it is too
inhumane, we should be fair with
each other. Of course, we should
understand that we forget
sometimes. We put consideration to
that matter but when we say that
they are just roaming around then we
need to enforce strictly. In relation to
no. 2, those stubborn citizen, who
uses force with us, we will just
approached to them calmly and in
result the will respond to us the same
manner).
10 So, sa pag implement dapat usa sa IDI3
imong character as an enforcer dapat
na a kay kanang baruganan niya na
sad kay prinsipyo mao jud na siya
akoang no.1 kanang implementation
sa program dapat mag sugod sad jud
na sa imong kaugalinon (IDI-3SS10). 10
(So, in implementation, a must
character that you should have as an
enforcer is that you should be
principled that is my no.1 and
implementation of the program, it
should start within yourself).
11 Ahh sa part pud namo in relation IDI3 11
dapat na a kay standing point each of
us should be fully discipline in order to
be a good citizen of the Philippines.
Everything really needs to starts
ourselves provide utmost care service
to our people (IDI-3SS11). (Ahh, in our

6 Unya ang atong buhaton, naay ge
tawag nga "oplan puyo" di gyud ta
pwede mo tambay sa gawas, naas

what what we will do, since we have
this called, “oplan puyo”, we should
not stand by outside our house,
drinking outside the stores since that
is not allowed, so we must stay inside
our house).
7 Naay usahay nga gahid ulo usahay IDI8 7
ma ka ana ka as a task force
kinahanglan naa jud kay presence of

di sabayan ang ilang kainit so atong

masuko siya ato rang i-implement
kung unsay rules & regulations sa
IATF kinahanglan ato silang pasabton
og maayo para ang taw pud di
masuko sa atoa di pud ta nila initan.
Pasabton sad sila nga ang among ge
buhat para rasad nila. Wala mi dire
ron og wala sad mo. Kinahanglan
kong unsay atong ge implement kita
follow jud ta (IDI-8SS7). (There are
times that there are stubborn citizens,
sometimes, you can say that we
should have presence of mind, we will
237
not let our minds get heat up easily.

We won't put gas on a ligting fire
because that will end up more fire to
it. What we do is just educate them
properly and approached them calmly
that we are implementing what the
IATF is giving us. Let them understand
that what we are doing is not for
ourselves but for their safety instead.
We must follow what we are being
instructed of).
8 During curfew nga naa juy lain nga na
encounter nga wa jud malikayi, sa
among team naka dakop mi og like
ginadiling drugs kato among ge buhat
among ge turn over sa among pinaka
duol nga station Kung diin to siya
dapit na apprehend namo mao rato IDI8 8
(IDI-8SS8). (During curfew, we have
encountered different one, like
someone brought illegal drugs. What
we did when we arrested him, we
bring him to the nearest station
where we apprehended him).
9 So among ge buhat ato among IDI8 9
gipahibaw ang organic or team leader
sa PNP nga naa mi na dakop nga
naay dala nga drugs so ang nagdala
namo silbi nag kuan ato so sa part
namo dijud siya pwede ana kay
among trabaho kay ang pag
implementra man sa rules &
regulations sa IATF, so among ge turn
over sa PNP Kay sila ray bahala ana
kay di mi mo arrest ana kay di man mi
anesting, di man mi PNP, ni okay ang
PNP unya sila nay bahala unya ilang
ge kuan sa pinaka duol nga station sa
station 2 (IDI-8SS9). (What we did that
time also is we let our organic or the
team leader know what happened
238
that we happen to encounter

someone bringing illegal drugs. We
were told then that it is not our scope
anymore to apprehend someone who
brings illegal drugs since our only job
is implementing the health protocol
from IATF, so we really just turn it
over to the PNP since they are the
ones who will take care of it).
10 Like minors naka dakop mig minors as
a kami ge detail man mi nila ngadto
sa akong na experience kay daghan
jud mig minor nga nadakpan, naa jud
mga bata nga badlongon jud so
among ge buhat kay amoa silang

sa DSWD tapos among ge kuan sa
ilang parent/guardians Para ma

we were told that if we apprehend
minors or young adults since there
are many stubborn minors also. What
we did is we turn them over to DSWD
and let their parents know so that
they will also be aware of it).
11 As task force kasaligan paghatag og
kaayohan og unsay maayo para nato
kutob sa among mahimo amo gyud

ma dakpan nga mga minors, adult

adult violators, we cannot cater them

Kailangan mag proper wearing of FM-94-They have also frustration to the
facemask, we also operate like rugby boys problem they have been encountering
pero with among leader policeman, the such as those minors who uses rugby in
problem is kanang maka dakop mi ug their daily life. Their intention whenever
minors nga among tuyo unta is ang mga they caught those rugby boys is for them
bata is mahunong sa ilang bisyo nga mag to stop using this rugby. However,
kuan ug rugby pero ang nahitabo balik whenever they turn over them to

namo e turnover sa Barangay human ana her, she thinks that their job of catching
mga after a week mag rooving me naa those rugby boys is useless because they
nasad, so lisud mao nay problema karun will still see that those minors are still
kay kami nag effort mi nga kana sila using it.
mahawan unta unya dili nila usbon, pero
wala murag useless gihapon ang among
kahago kay mao ra gihapon balik among
makit-an permi sa streets mga tulog ug
mag rugby (IDI-1SS7). (We need to wear
our face mask properly and we also
280
operate to rugby boys but with our team

leader police officer. The problem is when
we arrest minor who uses rugby we only
want them to stop from using it however
they will go back to their vices again
because the barangay will just let them go
after we turned ovet it to them. So, after a
week, whenever we do our rounds, they
are back again. So it is a bit hard for us,
because we put so much effort in
lessening or keeping them away from it
and not let them use it again, but it still
useless because our efforts are just put to
waste. We still see them on streets
sleeping and using rugby).
Actually those among ma dakpan dli FM-95-Sometimes, before, those minors
namo e turnover diri adto sa Barangay they arrested will not be turn over here in
usually but sometimes among dad-on diri police station but in Barangay. Hoever,
sa office and naa naman amuang womens now, since we do have our women’s desk,
desk sila ang mag handle sa mga bata, they are being brought already for them to
mga minor ilan tudlo-an, ilang e educate be educated from all the bad things they
pero dili tong rugby boys kasagaran ang have been doing on the streets.
rugby boys among e turnover didto sa
Barangay then ang Barangay nay bahala
unsa ilang buhaton pero katung minors
nga ni violate sa not wearing of facemask
nga nag suroy suroy lang sa kadalanan
ari namo e turnover diri, nindot ilahang
respond diri sa mga pulis kay abtik kayo
sila, kung sila ang mag handle pero kung
Barangay lang wala mi kahibalo unsaon
nila kay after namo e turnover ana mu
lakaw pud mi dayun (IDI-1SS8).
(Actually, those minors that we arrest we
turn it over here in the office and not in
Barangay. Since there is already a
women’s desk, they are the one who will
educate them especially those minors who
are just roaming around the streets not
wearing their face masks but when it
281
comes to rugby boys, we will turn them

over to barangay then they will be the one
who will take care of them. The respond
of the officer here is so great because they
take action immediately, unlike in
barangay, since we only turn those rugby
boys to them afterwards we will just
leave. So we don’t know if what they will
do to them).
I think the best way of addressing those
problems to turnover directly to the police
station because the advantage of them is
they know how to enforce the law and
how to educate the minors, they are the FM-96-For her, the best thing in
hope of our country so we must take care addressing these problems is to turn it
of them, though they commit crime but over to police station for faster action
they are not punishable by law because since they are more knowledgeable in
they are still minors and they have the handling these kind of problems. They can
right to education, they have the right to educate more to those minors that they
have a good parenting, so sadly I observe should stop doing it for their selves.
that the minors who have rescued wala
nay mga ginikanan so nahitabo is katung
diri gi turnover namo sila diri gi tudlo-an
sila sa policewomen unsay mga dapat
buhaton, unsay mga dili angay ug unsa
tong mga delinquent act nga maaaring
maka guba sa ilahang kaugmaon so not
just rescued victims you should do
something in order for them to have a
good future (IDI-1SS9). (I think the best

282
good parenting, so sadly I observe that the

minors who we have rescued doesn’t have
any family at all. So, what happened is
that those who are being turned over here
in office they were being educated by the
policewomen if what they should do, what
they should avoid and what are those
delinquent acts that can make their life
miserable in the future if they keep on
doing it. So we rescue them and do
something good for them to have a good
future).
As task force KASALIGAN, I’m enforcing
some extra curricular activities just like
after sa among duty nag hatag ug mga FM-97-For her, as a member of Task

para ta makalingkawas ani nga crisis help those people who are more in need,
mga atung na experience karun aning just like giving face masks, packed lunch
panahona, dili lang kay sige ta implement to those homeless.
kung unsay gi sulti sa president dapat go
beyond ana abi kay kana ra kana rapud
imuhang buhaton so dapat mubuhat kag
kanang something maka tabang sa imung
mga kababayan, siguro kung ako lang sa
akung kaugalingun kay nag lisud mn ta
ron sa panginabuhi siguro mo hatag lang
ug mga facemask, faceshield or
panginabuhian nila nga dili na sila mu
dungag ug problema sa nasud kay
pandemic man karun (IDI-1SS10). (As
task force KASALIGAN, I’m enforcing
some extra curricular activities just like
after our duty, they will give us packed
lunch, we will give it instead to those who
are more in need of it and not just that, we
283
also give face mask to them because in

this pandemic we should be united as one
for us to get off from this crisis that we
have been experiencing. Not just only we
keep on implementing what the president
said but we must go beyond our limits to
help our fellow citizen do something good
to them as well).
As task force kasaligan like what I said
we are not just implementing the wearing
of proper facemask, social distancing
siguro I wish that the whole organization
will also conduct operation like the police
station did, rugby boys we are rescuing
minors who are commiting delinquent
acts because not all the task force FM-98-She wish for the whole
kasaligan members we are not just organization that may the be given
implementing rules about this pandemic opportunity also to do operations just like
but also rescued children committing like the police officers are doing, although just
curfew mga delinquent acts nga naa sa for those rugby boys.
Republic Act 9344 nga amo nang
gipaningkamutan nga dili na nila ma
commit, so I wish that all this
pandemic problem but also focus on the
children, what they are doing now is not
good because as what I have said that
they are the future of our country so we
must preserve them and educate them to
restore if they have committed like drugs
or nay uban nga sugoon tungod sa
buhaton unta like ang uban na abuse, so I
wish nga maka makatabang mi sa PNP
kay ang PNP dili lang kay kana ilang gi
problema diba naa pud mga national
violence, terrorism daghan silag
problema so kami akung wish unta
makatabang mi sa organization not just
the organization but within the society,
284
nation and globally, kita tanan mag

tinabangay dili lang kay ang usa r aka
organization kay nagsugod nato ang
kalambo sa atung kumunidad (IDI-
1SS11). (As team kasaligan like what I
said we are not simply implementing the
wearing of facemask, social distancing. I
wish that the entire association will
likewise lead activity like the police
headquarters did, rugby young men we are
safeguarding minors who are commiting
delinquent demonstrations on the grounds
that not all the team kasaligan individuals
we are executing rules about this
pandemic as well as saved youngsters
committing delinquent acts nga naa like in
Republic Act 9344 we are doing our best
that they will not do such kind of acts, so I
wish that all this organization not only
focusing on this pandemic problem but
also focus on the children, what they are
doing now is not good because as what I
have said that they are the future of our
country so we must preserve them and
educate them to restore if they have
committed like drugs or nay uban nga
sugoon tungod sa kapobrehon nabuhat
nila angay dili buhaton unta like ang uban
na misuse, so I wish that we can help the
PNP in our own way in lessening them
because the PNP has been dealing so
much problem in our community. Might
as well that we do something good to help
them in lessening their problems here in
community, which is those rugby boys,
we will keep on striving to get them away
from the drugs).

experience in Task Force KASALIGAN
in 1 and a half years, we implemented
good policies for minors, in this
pandemic, minors are not allowed to go
out because of the COVID, then we do
our rounds to each barangay then if we
arrest some minors or young adults, we
will turn them over to GAD FOCAL. So
GAD FOCAL is in the barangay, then
they will be the one who will take care of
those violators and disciplined them and
we will just leave afterwards. For me,
TFK is a really big help in our community
because without us there will be more
287
violators than today and we really do

control people in letting them go out,
except those who are workers).

About sa rugby boys, grabe, di mi ka
