“The PNP is

honored to take an

said before embarking

on the four-day official mission.

on current transnational crime concerns,

including efforts aimed at strengthening

international cooperation with other police

enforcement best practices on curbing drug

trafficking, commercial crimes, bank fraud, cybercrime, and trafficking in persons.

The 36th ASEANAPOL Conference

also seeks greater commitment of the

ASEAN national police forces to closely

monitor and exchange information on

newly-emerging militant and radical groups, and take action on other pressing

regional security concerns on international

fugitives, cross-border law enforcement, illegal wildlife trade, counterfeit currency

syndicates, illegal firearms, smuggling and piracy in the high seas.

The 10-member ASEANAPOL is composed of the Royal Brunei Police Force,

Cambodian National Police, Indonesian

The Philippine National Police has

noted a significant downtrend in crime volume over the last six

months of Year 2016.Consistent with earlier pronouncements

by PNP Chief, Director General Ronald

M. Dela Rosa on the observed decline in

index crime incidents as a direct effect

of aggressive anti-drug operations, PNP Director for Operations, Chief

Superintendent Camilo Pancratius

Cascolan, expressed optimism that the

crime volume will continue to simmer

as the PNP intensifies police operations against drug-related criminal activities in the succeeding months.

From a high of 52,950 registered in

January 2016, the Total Crime Volume steadily dipped by 13% through the 1st and 2nd Quarters of the year, down to only

46,060 crime incidents in June 2016.In the PNP’s assessment, Cascolan

said, the ongoing two-pronged national anti-drug campaign under “Project: Double Barrel” is expected to further

boost the overall anti-crime effort, citing the correlation

Based on the PNP’s assessment, the

ongoing two-pronged national anti-drug campaign under “Project: Double Barrel” is expected to further boost the overall anti-crime effort, citing the correlation of drug

use to other forms of index crime involving

crimes against persons and crimes against

property. The “double-barrel” strategy of simultaneous attacks against notorious

drug lords and street level pushers has been

launched by the new PNP Chief, Director

General Ronald Dela Rosa.

From a high of 52,950 registered in

January 2016, the total crime volume steadily dipped by 13 percent through the 1st and 2nd Quarters of the year, down to only 46,060 crime incidents in June 2016. Since most of the crimes in the country are caused by

those under the influence of drugs, the mass surrender of drug suspects will somehow

decrease the number of crimes committed.

The summary of the campaign against

illegal drugs also showed that 239 drug suspects were slain in police operations

as of July 23. Big time Chinese drug lord Meco Tan was shot dead following a raid on

a suspected shabu laboratory in Valenzuela

City. Tan, the first of high-value target drug traffickers to be killed, was a major player in the manufacture of illegal drugs and was

responsible for putting up shabu laboratories

in Metro Manila. Following Tan’s death,

the PNP declared that there will be more

Chinese drug lords to fall.

There were a total of 120,038 drug pushers and users who voluntarily submitted

to authorities, based on PNP statistics as of

July 20, 2016 since the “Double Barrel” was implemented on separate operations by local

and national police units.

The full-scale war on illegal drugs being waged by the Philippine National Police (PNP) has resulted in the decline of common crimes like murder, homicide, rape and robbery since President Rodrigo Duterte assumed office on June 30, 2016. And by all indications, the PNP is gaining the upper hand in the war against drugs and crime.

training and is very far from those you

took when you were just little boy scouts

willingness and resolve to change for the

better, I am quite sure you will find the journey of transformation smooth and

of operations

against high

or low value

targets.

defense, all units shall remain on-guard and maintain a high state of operational

readiness to respond to any hostile action.

Declaration of the unilateral ceasefire, however, all police units are enjoined to

be vigilant in the performance of their

duties to prevent any untoward incident

as a result of the insurgents’ provocative

action,” PDir Magalong said.

All police units were also instructed

to exercise caution and restraint in

conducting movements and activities

which may be viewed by the NPA as

provocative acts.

“The PNP will still continue to

conduct active defensive measures, such

POLICE DIGEST

Every part of the world creates awareness on the ill-effects of dangerous drugs and the never ending campaign against drug abuse. In every street, barangay, town, city, province and region, there are a lot of people who use illegal substances and think that doing so is harmless and fun. Teenagers enjoy taking risks with drugs because of the thrill in doing so. However, there are many reasons why people use illegal substances without knowing the many consequences it may bring them afterwards. Drug abuse is a huge problem we are facing right now. The number of people using drugs is increasing drastically with people starting or trying illegal substances at a younger age.

On the campaign plan of President Rodrigo R Duterte, the PNP intensifies its law enforcement operations and anti-criminality campaign to combat the illegal drug threat and make sure that lawless

elements and criminals will be fended off. Project: Double Barrel was conceptualized as an all-out anti-illegal drugs operational plan, geared to suppress crime and illegal drugs by clearing all drug-affected barangays across the country and to conduct no let-up operations against illegal drug personalities and in dismantling drug syndicates. With its name – “barrel” – explains Chief, PNP PDG Ronald M. Dela Rosa, “One touch of the barrel, two triggers will be set off. There’s a barrel that will target from above, the high-value targets. And there’s a barrel that will target from below, the street-level personalities”. Project: Double Barrel has a two-pronged approach: Project TOKHANG and Project “High Value Target” (HVT). Police operations focus on high-value targets, likewise, the low-value targets. The response to the campaign has been very impressive that the PNP scored

successfully with the number of persons who yielded themselves to police and local government authorities in the face of the intensified government crackdown against the illegal drug menace in the country.

Along this project are various police operations, police community relations activities, and information operations efforts intensively conducted nationwide to support the massive campaign in curbing illegal drugs.

The PNP welcomes those who will voluntarily submit themselves who wanted to change for good while they are not exactly off the hook. They are victims, and real culprits are those who make and sell illegal drugs. The government will help repentant ones and will definitely change their lives. Definitely, but the whole-of-nation approach is indispensable to this endeavor.

Lingayen, Pangasinan — The strong

policy pronouncement of President

Rodrigo Roa Duterte to embark an all-out fight/war against criminality, especially those involved in illegal drugs, sent a

strong message to continue and strengthen

its anti-illegal drugs operations. Hence, elements of the Pangasinan

Police Provincial Office under the new leadership of PSSupt. Roland Oliver Lee,

Acting Provincial Director, implemented

numerous Search Warrants for Violation

of R.A. 9165, the "Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002" conducted

from July 1 to July 28, 2016.Thru Project: Double Barrel, PSSupt.

Lee ordered all Chiefs of Police to

conduct aggressive police operations in

their respective AORs. The Pangasinan

232 drug personalities (pushers/users) and the confiscation of 205.8013 grams of methamphetamine hydrochloride, also

known as “Shabu”, and 27.112 grams of

marijuana with Dangerous Drug Board

(DDB) value of Php 1,339,741.85.Apparently driven by fear of arrest,

8,955 drug pushers and users have also voluntarily surrendered to different police

stations, as the police and community

joined hands in carrying out a tough anti-drug program. Those who turned up in

police stations signed affidavits that they will no longer engage nor use illegal

drugs again and were given counselling,

while others went for rehabilitation.

The increasing number of arrested

drug traffickers and seizures of big volumes of dangerous drugs show the

effort in anti-criminality operations, which are clear indications that the

Pangasinan Police Provincial Office (PPPO) is in its full campaign against

the proliferation of illegal drugs, thus,

damaging our community.

The Acting Provincial Director lauded

the operating troops for a job well done

and further stated that the Pangasinan

PPO shall continuously conduct pro-active operations and will invigorate its

efforts to wipe out all forms of illegal

drugs in order to achieve its quest for a

drug-free province.“Once again, the Pangasinan PPO

has proven its mighty fist in solving drug problems and it has resulted favorably

and contributed immensely to lessen the

crime in all target areas in this province,

and will continue the operations

against drug personalities who have not

surrendered yet,” PSSupt. Lee said.

Pangasinan police

intensified anti-

drug operations

of drug use to involving crimes against

property.

Over the last 21 days since Project: Double Barrel was implemented on July

1, 2016, the PNP has recorded a national total of 3,213 arrested drug personalities during separate police operations by

“DUTERTE” is PRO 12’s answer to the

call of the newly installed President of

the Republic of the Philippines, Roridgo

Roa Duterte, to eliminate drug use and

trafficking. This is also in line with the current program of the Philippine National

Police which is the “Double Barrel”, where

one barrel refers to “Tokhang” which

stands for “Toktok Hangyo”, a visayan

term where “toktok” means to knock and

“hangyo” to appeal. “Tokhang” refers to

the aspect of Police Community Relations

whereas another barrel represents the

High Value Target (HVT) and the Low

Value Target (LVT) that focused on the

operation against hostile suspects.

Project “DUTERTE” falls under the

Toktok Hangyo as it aims to reach out

to personalities involved in illegal drug

activities to go back into the folds of law

through the assistance and intervention of

concerned government agencies.

“The support shown by the

community, the cheers and yells of the

children, the numbers of those who joined

the motorcade, the noise that we have

created, and even the simple gesture of

closed fist of bystanders and those we have met along the way, is very moving and

Launching of Project Duterte draws...overwhelming. The

clamor for change

as well as their

commitment to

become a part of that

change is real. It is

more than enough to

convince us that we

are on the right track,

and to boost our spirit

to keep going. Now,

more than ever, with

the whole of Police

Regional Office 12, with the cooperation of the public, we are

more determined to make this region a

model for all of the regions in our country.”

Said Police Chief Superintendent Cedrick

G. Train RD, PRO 12.

Meanwhile, General Santos City Vice-Mayor Sheryl B. Nograles, in behalf of the

Local Government of Gensan, expressed

her full support to the project and further

commend the Police Regional Office 12 for coming up with the holistic approach

against illegal drugs.

Several heads of Government

Agencies and NGOs also expressed their

full support to the project while signing

of the pledge of commitment which was

also conducted where all of those present

affixed their signatures. At present, coordination with

concerned agencies of the government

is on-going to facilitate the appropriate intervention and training for the surfacing

drug personalities in the region.

As of July 4, a total of 7,599 drug

personalities have surfaced at their

respective barangays, and eventually

Program (ICITAP) from July 4 to 15, 2016 under the supervision and recommendation

of the Training Manager, School for

Specialized Courses of the PNP Training

Service.

The training is designed for law

enforcement officers functioning as police officers in the school setting. It aims to provide the participants with the general

concepts of the roles, purposes, duties and

responsibilities of the School Resource

Officer (SRO), and how these roles and concepts create a great impact on school-based policing. The course also gives the

participants the different approaches in

SRO in relation to school-based policing, particularly on leadership and personality

development, communication skills,

conflict resolution and management, stress management, applications through

scenarios relative to Republic Act 6713 (Code of Conduct and Ethical Standard for

Public Officials and Employees), quality service to the school community, and actual

school immersion.

The SRO is a nationally accepted

program in the United States of America

that involves the placement of a law

enforcement officer within the educational environment. It is introduced in the

Philippines and being recognized slowly

in selected pilot areas in Mindanao. In

2012, four PNCOs: SPO3 Benjar Asaddi, SPO2 Marlene A. Galvez, SPO1 Mary Jane

B. Perez and PO2 Joseph Bryan B. Jalon,

who had been assigned in Mindanao had

completed the Basic SRO Course in Reno,

Nevada USA; and the Advanced SRO Course in Grandview, Missouri, USA.

They also participated in the National

Association of School Resource Officers Conference in Reno, Nevada USA through

ICITAP. Three high schools in Mindanao,

such as the Cotabato City National High

School Main Campus; Basilan National High School in Isabela City, Basilan; and Zamboanga City National High School

were the pilot schools where SROs are very

active. Trained SROs act generally as law

enforcers, law related-educators and law-related counsellors. Among the projects

initiated by the SROs are Project Be SAFE

(Smart, Alert, Focused, Educated), Students

Police Officer Group, Student Crime Watch, Community Out-reach Activities, and many more.

SPO2 Marlene A. Galvez, SRO of

Zamboanga City National High School; and SPO1 Mary Jane B. Perez, SRO in Cotabato

City National High School Main Campus,

were among the instructors

and facilitators during the

20 PNP personnel

trained as School

Resource Officers

Ni SPO4 Robert Fabregas

“The secret of LIFE isn’t just to live but to have something worthwhile to live for. We only live once, but if we live a just and righteous life to fight for a noble cause…one lifetime is more than enough…”

“Choice and decision for good!”

Ang pagsali sa eleksyon at pagboto

ay karapatan ng bawat Pilipino. Ito ay

isang sagradong tungkulin ng bawat

isang mamamayan na dapat gampanan

ng lahat ng Pilipino upang mailuklok sa

kapangyarihan ang mga mamumuno sa

ating bayan. Sa ganitong proseso, pantay

ang karapatan ng mahirap at mayaman,

ng mga maralita at nakaririwasa, ng

malalakas at mahina. Ang Philippine

National Police (PNP) ang naatasang

pangalagaan ang mga karapatang ito at

bantayan ang sambayanan laban sa mga

manliligalig.

Malinaw ang misyong ito ng PNP sa

mga kasapi ng 14 man team ng 407th

PPMG. Upang mapangalagaan ang

kapayapaan ng eleksyon at matiyak

na magiging malinis ang resulta nito,

aktibong tumupad sa kanilang tungkulin

ang mga kasapi ng nasabing yunit. Sa

kasamaang palad, nagbuwis ng buhay

ang lima sa mga kasapi nito at anim sa

kanila ang malubhang nasugatan upang

mabantayan ang karapatan sa pagboto

ng mamamayan.

Isang linggo noon bago sumapit

ang May 14, 2007 election, nagsagawa

ng road security operation ang team

ng 407th PPMG bilang paghahanda sa

isang nakatakdang miting de avance ng

isang kandidato na humingi ng security

assistance. Kasalukuyang binabagtas ng

PNP patrol pick-up ang isang kalsada nang biglang yanigin ito ng pagsabog

dahil sa isang landmine na itinanim ng

mga manliligalig na NPA.

Tumaob ang sasakyan ng mga pulis.

Mistulang papel na nilukot ang harapan

ng patrol dahil sa impact ng pagsabog ng

landmine. Sa kabila ng mga tinamong

sugat at pinsala sa katawan, buong giting

na gumanti ng putok ang mga pulis.

Tumagal ng limang minuto ang palitan

ng putok sa pagitan ng mga kasapi ng

407th PPMG at mga NPA. Gaya ng dati,

biglang nagpulasan paatras at tumakas

ang mga NPA matapos mahinuhang

mataas pa rin ang morale at hangaring

lumaban ng mga pulis.

Sa pagkapawi ng usok ng pulbura,

itinanghal sa bantayog ng kagitingan

ng PNP ang mga bangkay nina PO3 Leonardo Medilla, PO2 Nelson

Barrientos, PO2 Gabriel Ordanes, PO2

Rommel Caleze at PO2 Alberto Hilario.

Sugatang magigiting naman sina PO3 Elmer Legayada, PO1 Ronnie Rivera,

PO2 Joel Viscarra, PO3 Mario Barbosa, PO2 Villaflores at PO2 Alvarez. Suwerteng nakaligtas naman sa ambush

ang tatlo pa nilang kasamahan.

Dahil sa malagim na pangyayari,

lalong tumingkad sa mata ng

mamamayan ng Mindoro ang marahas

na mukha ng terorismo. “ Bakit

kailangang gawin ito ng mga NPA?

Bakit kailangan nilang pumatay ng

mga taong walang kasalanan?” Ang

mga katanungang ito ang nanahan sa

isip ng tahimik na mamamayan ng

lalawigan. Ang paggamit ng landmine

ay ipinagbabawal ng GENEVA Conv

ention at ng Comprehensive Agreement

on Human Rights and International

Humanitarian Law (CAHRIHL).

Bukod dito, pinag-ibayo rin ng NPA ang kanilang extortion activities kagaya

ng Permit to Campaign at Permit to

Win sa mga kandidato. Sa kabila ng

karahasang inihahasik ng mga NPA sa

mamamayan, tahimik namang nagluksa

ang mga kaanak at kasamahan ng mga

nasawing pulis. Sa bawat pagluha at

hinagpis ng mga naulila, matimyas

na ngiti naman ng pasasalamat ang

pabaon ng sambayanan sa kanilang mga

tagapagpatupad ng batas.

Paalam, mga tunay na Pulis Ng

Pilipino!

“Matimyas na ngiti ng pasasalamat ang

pabaon ng sambayanan”

Magandang araw po sa inyong

lahat. Salamat po sa inyong patuloy na

pagtangkilik ng aking panulat. Kagalakan

ko po na ibahagi sa inyo ang aking mga

natutunan sa pamamagitan ng “Salita ng

Diyos”. Dalangin ko na ito ay makatulong

sa inyo sa at maging matagumpay sa

pagharap ng mga pagsubok at hamon sa

buhay.

“We live by choice, not by chance.”

Ayon kay DR. HAL URBAN. “Choice”,

salita na hindi natin na mamalayan na

ginagawa natin ito sa araw-araw. Sa umaga pa lang ay pumupunta si nanay sa

kusina kung ano ang ihahaing pagkain sa

pamilya. Mayroon siyang “choice”, fried

egg or hot dog? Mula sa umaga hanggang

sa gabi. Kaya mahalaga sa kanya na may

listahan para ma-budget nang mabuti ang pera at magkasya hanggang suweldo.

Sa ating pagpasok sa opisina araw-araw, tayo ay namimili kung tayo ay sasakay

sa bus o sa MRT. Paglipas nang panahon

ay kabisado na natin oras ng biyahe.

Isang katotohanan sa mundong ito ay

maraming pagpipilian. Mula sa brand

ng damit, appliances, sasakyan, gadget,

baril at iba pa. Salamat sa kabutihan ng

Panginoong Diyos sapagkat nagagawa

nating makapamili dahil tayo ay may

kalayaan. Ayon sa Genesis 2:16-17 “And the LORD God commanded the man,

saying, Of every tree of the garden thou

mayest freely eat: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt

not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Genesis

2:16-17Si Adan at si Eva ay Malaya. Ngunit

pinili nila ang suwayin ang utos ng

Panginoong Diyos at ito ang nagging

daan upang ang tao ay mapahamak at

masira ang napakagandang plano sa

sangkatauhan.

“Now the serpent was more subtle

than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made.

And he said unto the woman, Yea,

hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every

tree of the garden?

And the woman said unto the serpent,

We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the

garden: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath

said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall

ye touch it, lest ye die. And the serpent

said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely

die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be

opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing

good andevil. And when the woman saw

that the tree was good for food, and that it

was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be

desired to make one wise, she took of the

fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also

unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened,

and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.” Genesis 3:1-7

Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then

your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be

as gods, knowing good and evil.

Mas pinili nila ang sinabi ni Satanas,

pinalalabas niya na sinungaling ang

Diyos. At hindi mamamatay kapag kinain

ang bunga ng pagkaalam ng mabuti at

masama. At magiging katulad ng Diyos.

Iisa lamang ang Diyos at tayong lahat

ay nilikha lamang niya at kailanman ay

hindi natin Siya makakapantay. Ang

sinabi ni Satanas ay isang Deception. Ang

“Choices” ay:1. Sumunod sa utos ng Diyos. Ito ay

totoo.

2. Maniwala sa sinabi ni Satanas. Ito

ay panlilinlang.

Kaya maliwanag po ang warning ng

Panginoong Diyos…” God hath said, Ye

shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it,

lest ye die.

Matapos ang pagpili ay gagawa po

tayo ng DECISION. Alalahanin po natin

mga kabaro na “Every Choices that you

will make has its own consequences.”

Ang kamatayan at kapahamakan ay

dumating sa tao, dahil sa maling pagpili

at ginawang desisyon.

Ano ang nagging tugon ni Adan at

Eva sa desisyon na kanilang ginawa?

“Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof

I commanded thee that thou shouldest not

eat? And the man said, The woman whom

thou gavestto be with me, she gave me

of the tree, and Idid eat. And the LORD

God said unto the woman, Whatis this

that thou hast done? And the woman said,

The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

Genesis 3:11-13Sila ay nangatwiran. Sinisi ni Adan

si Eva, gayun din sinisi ni Eva ang ahas.

Sa halip na aminin ang kasalanan at

humingi ng tawad. Anumang pasya na

ating gagawin ay makaka-apekto sa atin, sa pamilya, trabaho at maging sa ating

nasasakupan. Napahamak ang buong

sangkatauhan dahil sa maling desisyon.

Maging matalino tayo sa ating pagpili

at pagpapasya? Isipin po natin kung ano

ang magiging bunga kapag ginawa natin

ang isang bagay. Ito ba ay may maidudulot

na kabutihan sa iyo?

Kapag hindi sa patang kaalaman

magtanong, “Who is a wise man? He

who learns of all men.” (The Talmud).

Decision is the STARTING LINE. Kung

sa mga nakalipas na panahon ay may

nagawa tayong maling pagpili at desisyon.

Hindi tayo na promote dahil hindi nag-schooling o nag-exam. Marahil ay may kadahilanan o pinagdaanan sa nakalipas

na panahon. Natuto po ba tayo? Ngayon

na ang tamang simula.

To make the RIGHT Choice and

BEST Decision! “What you are doing

right now, it will determine your destiny!”

Nasa iyong mga kamay ang pagbabago!

Samahan po natin ang ating minamahal

that PRO5 is one with the PNP DIMTG in

its goal to be always prepared in times of

calamities or any form of disaster because

the PNP not only runs after the criminals

and drug-listed personalities, and not only engages in firefights with the CPP/NPA/NDF and other lawless elements in the

battlefield. It likewise takes the brunt of taking care of its people, and assumes new

roles in helping build communities out of

tragedies, disasters and calamities.

He also said that PRO5 should continue

to plan, prepare, practice, execute, assess

if needed, to become truly prepared for

any eventuality.

The PNP also implemented Oplan

Tokhang throughout the country to stop the

illegal drug crisis. Under Oplan Tokhang,

or house visitations on residences of

suspected drug personalities, a total

of 120,038 have voluntarily yielded nationwide, among them, 112,902 self-confessed drug users and 7,107 pushers.

In the Davao region, reports showed

that a total of 17,208 drug personalities have submitted themselves to the PNP,

while 10,200 drug pushers and users

surrendered to the police and local

officials from the 19 towns and 2 cities in the province of Pampanga. Southern

Tagalog has the most number of drug

suspects arrested during the two-month period with 2,230, followed by NCR with 1,906 and Central Luzon with 1,097.

The PNP has urged local government

officials to build rehabilitation centers in each of the 22 legislative districts

in Central Luzon. The government is

also considering a plan to establish

rehabilitation centers in several islands

to accommodate the thousands of drug

dependents that have recently surrendered

to authorities.

PNP chief Director General Dela

Rosa reminded all policemen in the

field to observe proper procedure during police operations, foremost of which is

to protect and respect the human rights

of every suspect. He vowed to continue

the war against illegal drugs and stressed

that he needs police commanders who are

committed to Duterte’s policy to reduce,

if not eliminate, the trade in illegal drugs

within the first three to six months of his administration. He called on the citizens

to help the government win the war

against criminality, particularly, in the

capture and arrest of drug lords.

PNP Chief Director General Dela

Rosa had implemented a top-to-bottom revamp when he took over the helm of

the PNP on July 1 stressing that internal

cleansing was important in the PNP

organization, with 160,000 members in 18 regions nationwide, to ensure police officers have the moral ascendancy to enforce the law. The PNP Chief also

ordered drug testing for all the 180,000 uniformed and civilian personnel of the

organization within six months in line

with the government’s campaign to stop

illegal drug trafficking and abuse among police officers and personnel. Policemen who tested positive in the drug tests will

be dismissed from the service.

Barely a week after PNP Chief DG Dela

Rosa assumed office, police authorities dug up close to Php1 billion worth of

shabu in a resort in the far-flung area of Claveria town in Cagayan, the biggest

illegal drugs haul made by the PNP,

which were supposed to be transported

to Binondo area in Manila. A 1.77 billion

pesos worth of dangerous drugs were also

destroyed in Trece Martires City, Cavite

by the Philippine Drug Enforcement

Agency (PDEA) and the PNP, while a

“floating shabu” laboratory or fishing vessel that could have manufactured 180 kilos of shabu recovered in Claveria,

Cagayan, was seized off Subic, Zambales

operated by four Chinese men. (Compiled

Wilson Yancha aka “wicko” is ranked

no. 1 in the List of Drug Personalities

who have presented himself voluntarily

and executed an affidavit of undertaking with a firm commitment to end the use and sale of prohibited drugs . However

he continued to engage in illegal drug

sale which prompted the police officers to undertake the necessary action.

The PNP of the whole Samar Police

Provincial Office are desolate that this tragic event had happened and would

like to extend their deep condolences to

the bereft family of “Wicko” But these

police officers are just doing their sworn duties and as the protector of the people,

cannot just sit and watch children being

corrupted by this drug menace. As the

saying goes “The only way for evil men

to triumph is for good men to do nothing”

and that we, police officers cannot allow. Let’s make our country DRUG FREE!

Papaano natin malalaman kung ang iyong asawa ay bigay ng Dios?

(Ni Bro. Eli Soriano / Ika-16 bahagi)

NUNG makatapos ang bautismo nagtanong

ako doon sa mga taga-Santo Kristo ng Guagua. Ano ba kako ang pagkakilala ninyo doon sa babae

na iyon? Sino ika, si Tandang Goring? Oo kako.

Asawa ng bayan iyon. Masamang babae pala siya.

Siguro kako kaya umalimbukay ang tubig, ang

daming lumabas na espiritu doon sa matanda. Kaya

kung tumingin siya, ang mata niya’y masingkit

na parang malisik. Nung mabautismuhan nawala

yung ganong mata. Kaya po ako naniniwala sa

kapangyarihan ng bautismo na sinasabi sa Biblia,

makapangyarihang nakakapagpabago sa tao at

naghuhugas ng kanyang kasamaan sa pagkatao

niya. Nasa Biblia kasi, nakita ko ang pruweba. Isang

bautismo pa. Doon po kami sa Tenajero sa Bacolor.

Nakalubog na sa lahar ngayon yung Tenajero na

iyon, wala ng taon roon. Pero nung kami’y magba-bautismo roon, meron kaming dinaanan na isang

pulutong ng bayan, papunta kami sa may Talbasa

sa ilog. Ang sabi nung mga Kapampangan,

“kamuritan yo! O tinuke kayu king Sorianong

e tuli.” Iyon ang pagkakasabi sa Kapampangan.

Ang lakas ng pagkakasabi. Pagkadaan namin sa

bahay niya, kumidlat, tinamaan ng kidlat yung

bubong at nagbabautismo kami’y nagsasalimbayan

ang kidlat. Ang sabi ko, “Panginoon, bahala ka

na po sa amin. Bahala ka na rin sa kidlat.” May

tinamaan na kasi. Yun ngang nagmumura sa amin,

tinamaan ng kidlat. Kaya ang mga tao roon, mula

noon, ang nagsanib doo’y dumami. Nung una

kaming magbautismo’y tatatlo yata o aanim yung

binautismuhan namin. Pagkaraan ng isang buwan,

mayroong isandaang mahigit ang miyembro. Doon

sa nakita nilang parang milagro na iyon, na nung

kumidlat ay tinamaan yung bubong ng nagmura

sa amin. Nakita ko po, “yung binautismuhan

namin, talagang mga taong masasama, yung isa

roon, kinatatakutan sa Bacolor. Pero hanggang

ngayon, awa ng Dios, makikita n’yo, sila’y

maging mga taong mababa ang loob, tumatalima

sa aral, hindi na naglalasing, wala ng sugal, at

wala ng mga bisyo. Kaya naniniwala akong

pagkasama-sama man ng isang tao, may paraan ang Diyos para siya’y bumuti. Sapagkat ang sabi

ni Kristo, “Gawin ninyong alagad. Kaya yung

asawa ninyo, kahit na iyan ang pinakamadaldal

na babae sa mundo, hikayatin n’yo pong mag-aral nito’t tatabasan natin ng dila ng kaunti, pag hindi

tumino iyan. Ang pananampalataya’y nakagagawa

ng bagay na mahirap gawin, “Faith can move

mountains. If faith can move mountains, faith can

also transform lives.” Ang pananampalataya po ay

puwedeng makapagbago ng tao. Ako ho ay mahigit

na dalawampung (20) taong naninigarilyo. May

tinda akong mga sigarilyo. Kung magsigarilyo

kami nung sekretarya ko, isang pakete magdamag,

ubos namin iyon. May tindahan ako ng sigarilyo

sa Ayala Avenue. Yung malalaking building doon,

may mga tinda akong sigarilyo roon, may tagapag-tinda ako. Pero nung sumampalataya ako doon

sa binasa ko, nung oras na iyon ay inalis ko ang

sigarilyo. Hindi kagaya ng iba, inuunti-unti pa. Dati ika’y isang kaha, ngayon ika kalahati na lang.

Hindi mo maaalis yan kung unti-untiin mo, kasi hindi maaalis yung nicotine, hindi maaalis yung

tar. Iyon ang nagbibigay ng urges. Hanggang hindi

mo totally hinihinto, meron pang nicotine doong

pumapasok, hahanapin mo pa rin iyon. Alam n’yo

po ba kung papaano malilinis nang husto iyan?

From Texas with love

During the monthly consultative

meeting and dialogue among Top Senior

Police Non-Commissioned Officers (PNCOs) held at the PNP National

Headquarters in Camp Crame, Quezon

City on July 21, 2016, SPO4 Juanito Dimaculangan, Chief Executive Senior

Police Officer (CESPO, PNP), conducted a surprise random drug-testing for all ESPOs of the different National

Support Units (NSUs), Chief Clerks of

the Command Group, Directorial and

Personal Staff (CG-DPS) and other Top Senior PNCOs.

This is in line with the directive of the

Philippine National Police Chief, Police

Director General Ronald M. Dela Rosa to

have an all-out war on illegal drugs.According to SPO4 Dimaculangan, a

total of 50 Top Senior PNCOs underwent

said drug test which was conducted prior

to the scheduled cascading of the newest

PNP anti-illegal drugs campaign Project: Double Barrel which has a two-pronged approach; the Project HVT (upper barrel) and Project “Tokhang” (lower barrel).

The Project HVT (high value target)

(upper barrel approach) is a massive

and re-invigorated conduct of anti-illegal drugs operations targeting illegal

drugs personalities and drug syndicates.

HINDI ko sukat akalain na makapapasyal pa

ako sa United States of America dahil dalawang

beses na akong na-denied sa US Embassy, Manila noong 2007. Pero nitong buwan lamang ng Abril

2016 para sa ikatlong pagkakataon na pagsalang para sa tourist visa application interview ay isa

ako sa mapalad na nabigyan ng 10-year multiple tourist visa. Kaya naman ay agad akong nag-file ng aking vacation leave abroad kasama ang aking

butihing maybahay sa kagustuhang mabisita din

ang bansang Amerika sa tulong ng aking sister-in-law na si Maria Arredondo at asawa nito na si Samuel Arredondo na kung saan sila ang nag-ayos at tumayong mga sponsors sa aming mahigit isang

buwan na tour at pamamalagi sa Amerika. Mahigit

sa sampung taon na silang naninirahan partikular

sa Texas kasama ang kanilang mga anak at kanyang

magulang na aking mga parents-in-law na tahimik at maayos na silang namumuhay doon. Napakalaki

ang pagkakaiba ng Texas sa ating bansang

Pilipinas. Malinis at maayos ang kapaligiran, wala

kang maririnig na ingay at busina ng mga sasakyan,

at higit sa lahat propesyunal at may disiplina ang

mga tao. Di gaya sa atin na walang disiplina, kung

meron man ay kokonti lang at karamihan ay mga

taong ika nga ay walang takot sa Diyos at walang

respeto sa kapwa lalo't higit sa kanilang sarili.

Isa din sa aking naobserbahan sa mga shopping

malls and centers gaya ng COSTCO Wholesale,

Walmart, H.E.B (Here Everything’s Buy), at

iba’t-ibang grocery stores ay halos o karamihan sa kanilang mga tauhan ay matatanda at may edad

na. Kahit mga senior citizens na ay kumakayod pa

rin para mabuhay at hindi umaasa sa ibang tao. Sa

Amerika ay dapat ay masipag ka, may dedikasyon

sa trabaho at hindi pupuwede ang tatamad-tamad. Bakit? Kasi karamihan doon ay ikaw mismo ang

gagawa gaya ng mag-refill ng tubig sa container mo sa mga water stations, maglagay ng gasolina

sa sasakyan mo at kung minsan ay ikaw mismo

ang magbabalot sa mga binili mong grocery items

at kung anu-ano pa. Puro ATM (Automated Teller Machine) card na ang transaksyon kaya naman ay

di na kailangan ang mga gasoline attendant, water

boy helper at mga cashiers. Sa panig naman ng

mga law enforcers doon ay ginagalang ang mga

pulis maging anoman ang kanilang mga ranggo

o posisyon kahit na ito’y mababa, takot ang mga

sibilyan at mamayan sa kanila. Sa madaling salita

ay nirerespeto sila, bagay na wala sa atin. Kapag

nagmaneho kang hindi nakalagay ang iyong seat

belt at nahuli ka ng pulis ay tiyak ay may penalty

ka. Kapag may tumatawid, hinto lahat ang mga

sasakyan lalo na kapag dumadaan na ang mga

school bus, tigil lahat para magbigay sa mga

estudyante at batang mag-aaral para sa kanilang kaligtasan. Kapag nag red light na, stop ka muna

kahit mag-isa ka lang na sasakyan. Sumusunod ang lahat at may disiplina sa sarili. Masakit mang

sabihin pero yan ang katotohanan na wala sa

ating mga pinoy, Disiplina! Samantala, kabilang

naman sa mga lugar na aking napuntahan ay ang

Kerrville, San Antonio, San Juan, San Marcos,

Fredericksburg, Fair Oaks Ranch, Mc Allen,

Austin at sa Dallas. Namangha ako sa mga lugar at

pook pasyalan na aking nasaksihan gaya ng “Texas

State Capitol” na matatagpuan sa Austin na talaga

namang kahawig ng White House dahil sa ganda

ng istruktura at pagkakagawa nito. Ito ay may

taas na 308 feet at dito rin makikita ang opisina at tanggapan ng Texas Legislatures at ang Office of the Governor. Isa ito sa mga dinarayong lugar at

gustong puntahan kung ikaw ay nasa Texas dahil

idineklara ito bilang isa sa mga National Historic

Landmarks ng America. Kung gusto mo naman

na magmuni-muni at magsagawa ng repleksyon o spiritual encounter ay magandang pasyalan din ang

“The Coming of King Sculpture Prayer Garden”

sa Kerrville na halos na yata sa lahat ng dako nito

ay may mababasa kang mga bible verses bilang

paalaala kung ano ang misyon natin sa buhay na

ito. Ganon din siyempre ang lugar ng San Antonio

na siyang tahanan ng NBA San Antonio SPURS

Team. Sa loob ng Hemisfair Park ay makikita ang

napakataas na “The Tower of the America” na

may 750 feet ang taas nito, mula sa taas ay halos

tanaw mo na ang buong Texas. Sa di kalayuan

ay makikita mo naman ang makasaysayang “The

Alamo Chapel” na kung saan ay dito nabuo at

nag-umpisa ang “The Alamo Mission” na mas lalong kilala bilang “The Shrine of Texas Liberty.”

Idineklara din ito ng United Nations Educational,

Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) bilang isa sa mga World Heritage Sites sa buong

mundo. Nakapaglibang din ako sa “Seaworld of

San Antonio Theme Park” na kung saan ay mga

naggagandahan ang kanilang mga ride and show

attractions gaya na lamang ng Steel Eel, Journey to

Atlantis, Azul Dolphin Show, Sea Lion High, One

Ocean, at marami pang iba. Halos kulang ang isang

araw mo kung lilibutin mo ang buong Seaworld

Park. Nakarerelaks talaga at nakaaalis ng stress

kung iyong mapasyalan ang mga nasabing lugar.

At bilang panghuli ay bumisita din ako sa mahal at

milagrosong birhen ng Our Lady of San Juan del

Valle sa San Juan, Texas kalakip nito ay ang aming

pasasalamat sa ating Panginoong Diyos dahil sa

kanyang mga kabutihan at kaloob na di masayod

para sa amin. Kaya naman, enjoy at sulit talaga

ang aking bakasyon kasama ang aking maybahay

at pamilya nito. Sa kabila ng ating trabaho bilang

isang pulis o alagad ng batas ay marapat lamang

na paminsan-minsan ay magkaroon din tayo ng pagkakataon para makapag-libang kasama ang ating pamilya at mahal sa buhay. Iba pa rin ang

Dedicated and focused teams are in charge

of the said activity.

Members of PNCOs found positive

to illegal drugs during a surprise drug

test will undergo confirmatory tests. Police officers found positive will be dismissed from their posts and shall face

administrative raps.

On the part of the PNCO Association

Incorporated (PNCOAI), SPO2 Eric

Fernandez, one of the members of the

Board of Directors and presently assigned

at the PNP Public Information Office, fully supports the programs of the Chief,

PNP. He said, the drug test aims to show

transparency in the organization and

ensure the public that police officers are capable of being role models in leading

the fight against illegal drugs.“As CESPO and Top Senior PNCOs,

we must render genuine and true service,

and to live as an example to others,

especially to the junior PNCOs in the

organization, as mentioned in the speech

of the Chief, PNP through his massive

campaigns against illegal drugs. This

is a clear manifestation that the PNP is

serious in its total fight against illegal drugs,” said SPO4 Dimaculangan. (with

Ms. Caresse Acera, Writer/Researcher,

Special Projects Branch, PNP-PIO)

CESPO leads Surprise Random Drug-

Testing for Top Senior PNCOs

Drugs Advisory Council (BADAC) from slumber. The

reinvigorated BADAC made it easier for the PNP to come

up with updated and validated lists of drug pushers and

users who are deeply entrenched in the community. This

reduced the risk of erroneously subjecting the wrong person

to interdiction operations.

3. Conduct of Aggressive Police Operations

The third phase involves a no let-up drive in flushing out illegal drugs personalities in the barangay through

interdiction operations. However, even at this stage,

members of the Convenors and the BADAC are similarly

involved in building strong cases against suspected drug

pushers, to ensure that they will not stand a chance to post

bail and be free again to continue with their activities. This

stage employs all forms of police operations from serving

of arrest warrants, search warrants, buy-bust operations, One-Time Big-Time operations, patrolling, checkpoints and other anti-criminality strategies.

4. The Government Multi-Agency and Multi-Sectoral Activities

Like the Double Barrel Approach of Chief PNP Dela

Rosa, grassroots mobilization to complement the aggressive

police operations is the other side of the barrel. Sectoral

activities include the implementation of Campaign Plan

"TokHang" to persuade illegal drugs suspects to forgo their

activities; house-to-house visitations and counselling of families affected by the illegal drugs problem; facilitation of seminars and consultation fora at the barangay level; and shame campaigns where a group of "protesters" denounce

the activities of a drug pusher right at the very doorstep of the

suspect. At this stage, the Convenors take the centerstage.

While the activities provide intelligence operatives of

the PNP with the opportunity to come face-to-face with suspected drug personalities, the sole participation of the

police here is to ensure that no untoward incident will occur

between the "protesters" and the people who are the subjects

of the shame campaign rallies and other anti-illegal drugs campaign carried out by multi-sectoral groups.

5. The Balik-Loob Program and Establishment of the Bahay Pag-Asa Reformation Center

The Balik-Loob Program is the counterpart of Campaign Plan "TokHang". But unlike the other, the Balik-Loob Program caters only to drug pushers -- those who are directly responsible for the proliferation of narcotics

substances in the community. The Balik-Loob Program follows three “S” steps that every drug pusher has to comply

with: Stop their illegal activities; Submit - which means they have to come out of their lairs; and Surrender - which in this case means voluntarily agreeing to undergo more

than a month of reformation. The core value of the program

is focused on personality renewal of suspected drug pushers

to help them become productive and law abiding citizens

through reformation. Hence, the Balik-Loob Program was introduced along with the creation of the Bahay Pag-Asa Reformation Center. This Reformation Center, established

inside the provincial police headquarters in Balanga City,

provides the most comprehensive family-and values-

oriented treatment program, anchored on the hope that the

patients/reformists will eventually give up drug pushing

and to take a more responsible way of living. The program

includes providing health services, free vocational training

in partnership with various technical education institutions,

and moral recovery programs with the help of local

religious groups. The evident success and viability of the

Bahay Pag-Asa Reformation as a practical approach to manage the illegal drugs problem eventually encouraged

more institutional partners and industries to invest in

the program. On July 8, 2016, another Bahay Pag-Asa building, with a capacity to accommodate 200 reformists,

was inaugurated in Limay, Bataan. A third Bahay Pag-Asa is being readied inside the Philippine Army Headquarters

in Camp Camacho, Balanga City, in partnership with the

Armed Forces of the Philippines. The third reformation

center is timely and relevant to the pronouncement of

President Duterte in his first State of the Nation Address, for the AFP to take an active part in the rehabilitation efforts

of the government for illegal drugs personalities.

The cooperation established by the All-Government/Multi-Sectoral Approach in the Fight Against Illegal Drugs resulted in the unprecedented 70% decrease in crime incidents, 300% increase in positive results of operations against illegal drugs and more than 90% decrease in drug-related crime incidents in Bataan. Moreover, the program paved the way for more arrests as well as more

surrenderee-reformists drug pushers (at present, out of 300 plus surrenderees, 225 have already undergone the rudiments of the reformation program) - and the number is still growing, especially with the launching of Campaign

Plan "TokHang".

The Cycles of Campaign "TokHang" in Bataan

apparently did more than managing the problem on illegal

drugs. Its equally important achievement is that it changed

the mindset of the police in dealing with illegal drugs: the police stopped owning the entire drug problem and accepted

that community engagement is essentially more than half of

the total solution to the drug problem. Here, community

engagement means more than reaching out. It's about

encouraging a wide spectrum of society to follow a more

commonsensical direction in dealing with the problems on

illegal drugs.

From the beginning of the implementation of the

Campaign Plan "TokHang" of Philippine National

Police (PNP) Chief, Police Director General Ronald

"Bato" Dela Rosa, up to present, hundreds of thousands of

illegal drugs pushers and users have been rounded up by

various police units from all over the country in line with the

reinvigorated scouring of communities of people involved

in narcotics abuse. This milieu of aggressive accounting

of illegal drugs personalities have achieved very palpable

results as it has never been seen in recent years, such as a

massive number of surrenderees. However, with the steady

influx of surrenderees, people are now asking: What will the PNP do with all these drugs personalities surrendering?

The people of the Province of Bataan have managed the

problem as to where to put their surrenderees, prioritizing

surrendered drug pushers a year ahead of Campaign Plan

"TokHang". With President Rodrigo Duterte now urging

Local Government Executives (the governor, mayors,

and barangay chairmen) to do their part in the war against

illegal drugs, there is truly a great deal of best practices that

local government units, non-government organizations, advocacy groups and other institutions from everywhere to

learn out of the success of Bataan province. All these are all

worth-sharing.Pre-dating the nationwide Campaign Plan "TokHang"

by more than a year is Bataan's All Government/Multi-Sectoral Approach in the Fight Against Illegal Drugs.

It is a PNP-designed game-changer strategy meant to provide direction for a local government-led confederacy of stakeholders and institutional partners in managing the

problem on illegal drugs. The strategy involves five stages of implementation.

The Cycle of the Five Stages

1. Organize the Provincial/Municipal/Barangay Anti-Illegal Drugs Convenors

Campaign Plan "TokHang" of PDG Dela Rosa, which

takes its roots in Davao City, is undoubtedly a classic

example of a remarkable shift from the conventional

interdiction operation approach of the police to persuading

illegal drugs personalities to give up on narcotics abuse. In

Bataan, the strategy started similarly, knocking at the hearts

and minds of stakeholders, institutional partners and local

government executives, and persuading them to get involved

in a commonsensical approach in managing the illegal

drugs problem, thus, essentially "TokHang". The creation

of an LGU-led Anti-Drug Convenors from the province down to barangay level puts under one roof the heads

of several devolved government agencies, public safety

and internal security agencies, local judiciary and other

government instrumentalities, members of the academe,

anti-narcotics advocacy groups, civic groups and the media. The Convenors’ pivotal role is actually the key to managing

the illegal drugs problem. As a forum, the Convenors of

Bataan are vested with oversight powers and functions to

ensure the transparency and efficiency of law enforcement agencies in the conduct of anti-narcotics operations. On the other hand, members of the judiciary provide legal advice

to law enforcers and assistances in the filing of air-tight cases against drugs suspects. Volunteer anti-crime groups likewise provide human resources in aid of gathering

intelligence information relative to the activities of illegal

drugs personalities (including law enforcers suspected to

be involved in narcotics abuse). On top of it, the Convenors

also provide the professional and logistic support needed in

the conduct of advocacy activities.

2. Reinvigorate the BADAC

With the local government executives leading the

Convenors, it is easier to reawaken the Barangay Anti-

whole training. Other high-esteemed instructors and facilitators were PSupt Roberto V. Aldea of the Directorate

for Police Community Relations and PSupt Vimelee R.

Madrid of the PNP Training Service. Likewise, PSupt Mary

Grace R. Madayag of the Directorate for Investigation and

Detective Management and SPO4 Fernando T. Galang of

the Anti-Illegal Drugs Group discussed the laws governing children and drugs education, respectively.

The said training is very much relevant and significant to the program thrusts of President Rodrigo R. Duterte

and Chief, PNP, Police Director General Ronald M.

Dela Rosa on the intensified campaign on anti-illegal drugs, particularly in education awareness. Since crime

and violence or even the presence of illegal drugs is a

reality in the school, the concepts and principles of the

SRO program are very useful. This can help the parents,

teachers, students, administrators, law enforcers and the

general public to address issues and concerns within school

premises. SROs will work with school administrators and

parents to identify potential problems facing the youth at

the school and to work to collaboratively address issues

before they become problems. The SRO program does not

only address issues and concerns in the school but also

enhances the relationship between the school community

and the Philippine National Police.

During the opening ceremony on July 4, Police Director

Wilfredo D. Franco, the Director for Directorate for Police

Community Relations served as the Guest of Honor and

Speaker (GOHS). He mentioned the importance of police

community relations activities like police presence and

visibility in the school in the campaign against criminality

and other illegal activities. On the other hand, in the closing

ceremony on July 15, Franco was also the GOHS. He was

represented by PCSupt Carlos B. De Sagun, Executive

Office of the DPCR.
