Sample Draft Case Study - PNP & PDEA

Chapter I
Introduction
The world drug problem, including its political, economic, social, and
environmental costs, constitutes a complex, dynamic, and multi-causal
phenomenon that presents a challenge to the country and its government. The
results of the Dangerous Drugs Board’s latest survey on the drug use situation
in the Philippines show the demand reduction activities involved community
officials and/or local police going to the homes of known users and asking
them to voluntarily surrender and receive treatment (Raymundo, 2017).
With the introduction of the War on Drugs campaign of the government,
it is accorded based on the government’s official count through its campaign.
There are only 5.563 drug personalities have been killed in legitimate police
operations. Before that, however, the Philippine National Police (PNP) itself
reported a higher number, 6.600 drug suspects killed. This means that the rate
of drug-related cases in the country has decreased because of the
implementation of the War on Drugs in the country. The Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agency (PDEA) has also reported that 92% of barangays 1 in the
National Capital Region are affected by illicit drug use (PDEA, 2015). Barangay
is the smallest political unit in the Philippines. Each municipality or city is
therefore made up of barangays (PhilAtlas, 2021).

Moreover, drug use is a complex phenomenon, and there is a need for a
holistic perspective on the issue of drug use. Research of community-based
drug recovery in China reports that a lack of coordination, divergent attitudes,
and conflicting targets for police and health officials undermine the shared goal
of treatment (Ma et al., 2016). The Philippines’ Dangerous Drugs Board (2016)
has reported that 90% of those voluntarily surrendered could be treated in the
community (Cepeda, 2016). However, like most countries in Asia, the
Philippines has primarily employed compulsory residential treatment in
resolving illicit drug use problems. Given the overwhelming number of clients,
communities have created their own programs of community services like
cleaning, beautification, tree planting, gardening, and recreational activities
such as sports, zumba, and yoga. Moreover, counseling and spiritual
formation, including Bible study and prayer groups, are also initiated (Vuong et
al., 2017).
In the context of the Philippines, since taking office in June 2016,
President Rodrigo Roa Duterte has launched an immense campaign against
criminality and the illegal drug trade that has resulted in the deaths of
suspected drug personalities and criminals in the country. In his
administration’s anticrime and anti-drug campaign, the president gives police
officers an order to gun down criminals and drug dealers and promises them a
reward for catching drug suspects. Further, it is implemented upon the
approval by the Chief, PNP, in consonance with the six-month extension of
President Duterte to eradicate illegal drugs in the country. There are expected

in the implementation of this program: (1) a more balanced, effective, efficient,
and intensive yet more humane law enforcement operations against illegal
drugs; (2) an aggressive approach will be implemented targeting those high-
profile personalities involved in the illegal drug trade; (3) more engagement and
collaboration of the PNP with different government agencies, LGUs, NGOs, and
the community to establish the ‘wholeof-nation approach’ particularly in the
conduct of barangay drug-clearing operations anchored on the principle of
reciprocal responsibility to establish a drug-free community; (4) significant
downtrend in the national crime volume; (5) a lasting change for a safer and a
more secured community (PNP Command Memorandum Circular No. 16-2016).
In Manila, Philippines, four individuals were killed when enforcers of the
Duterte administration’s anti-drug campaign fired at each other in Quezon City
on February 24, 2021. The reason is the failure to coordinate. The Senate has
since launched an investigation into the supposed “misencounter” between
operatives of the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the Philippine Drug
Enforcement Agency (PDEA), whose main office, ironically, is within the police’s
national headquarters in Camp Crame. So far, there has been a push for the
PNP and PDEA to streamline their operations and strengthen coordination with
each other, Rappler writer, Jairo Bolledo (2021).
