EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

National Anti-Drug Accomplishment

Following are outputs of the efforts and initiatives of PDEA and other law enforcement agencies:

2. Neutralization of five (5) local drug groups.

3. Filing of 17,619 drug cases nationwide.

4. Seizure of 742.1 kilos of shabu.

5. Dismantling of two (2) shabu clandestine laboratories located in Tarlac and Valenzuela, and 2 shabu warehouses located in San Fernando City Pampanga.

6. Eradication of 506 marijuana plantation sites which are mostly in the Cordillera Administrative Region.

7. Dismantling of two (2) shabu tiangges and 114 drug dens.

8. Issuance of 34,449 licenses and permits to authorized handlers of regulated drugs and chemicals which include practitioners, establishments and industries as a continuing effort to deter chemical diversion.

9. Grant of monetary reward amounting to Php18,159,834.14 to 28 Operation “Private Eye” informants. This is a mechanism of the government to encourage the citizenry to actively participate in the fight against the use and abuse of illicit drugs.

10. Establishment of forensic laboratories in the seven PDEA Regional Offices 2, 3, 4A, 7, 9, ARMM and CAR.

11. Acquisition and training of 25 narcotic detection dogs (NDDs) and deployment of 8 PDEA K-9 Units to Regional Offices NCR, 2, 3, 4A, 4B and 10.

Philippine Drug Situation

For the year 2014, 89% of the arrests involved methamphetamine hydrochloride or shabu. This is a manifestation that “shabu” remains to be the most prevalent drug of abuse in the country.

Notably, not only shabu in crystal form were seized in the country but also chemicals that will be used to complete the manufacturing process of shabu. In the 3rd quarter of the year, the first incident of seizure of 1,2-Dimethyl-3-Phenylaziridine or Aziridine was recorded.

Alarmingly, drug personalities are utilizing new ways in illicit transactions. Investigation in one of the anti-drug operations revealed the use of digital or virtual currency called “bitcoin,” as a mode of payment. This is being exploited by syndicates and terrorists to avoid risking their identity.

Despite all the challenges faced by the country, the PDEA, together with other law enforcement agencies, continues to fight its way to a drug-free country in order to provide a safe environment that is conducive for development.

UNDERSECRETARY ARTURO G CACDAC JR, CESE Director General

Same drug menace but multi-faceted. Each country may share similar situation yet different challenges that require distinct solutions and unyielding efforts in order to free the country from sinking into the abyss of illicit drug problem.

Drug Trafficking Trends

For 2014, the increasing number of incidences of transporting illegal drugs using mail and parcel services was recorded. At least 40 mail and parcel interdiction operations were conducted nationwide which resulted in the seizure of shabu, marijuana and ecstasy, and arrest of 20 drug personalities.

The utilization of various materials like sandals, milk boxes and electronic devices to conceal illegal drugs was also noted.

PhIlIPPINE DRUG SITUATION

Dominant Drugin the Philippines

Consistent with the previous years’ observations, shabu and marijuana remains the most abused illegal drugs in the Philippines. Evidently, the value of shabu seized for the year is 78% of the total value of seized drugs and CPECs.

Furthermore, 89% of the year’s arrests are shabu-related.

PDEA Strategy Map

The nine (9) strategic objectives of the Agency are shown in the PDEA Strategy Map. These strategies, together with the Vision, Mission, and Core Values, are considered as the potent guide in reducing the drug affectation in the country.

Packs of shabu with a total weight of 10 kilos worth Php30 million pesos seized during a buy-bust operation at PHILCOA, San Vicente, Quezon City.

Parcel interdiction operation at Iligan city that resulted in the confiscation of package that contains 787 grams of shabu.


New Trends in Illegal Drug Activities

The conduct of a buy-bust operation by PDEA and PNP on March 24 in Malate, Manila resulted in the seizure of 223 tablets of “fly high” and arrest of an Indian national. Investigation revealed that the suspect imports ecstasy from The Netherlands using bitcoins as mode of payment.

Bitcoin is a digital or virtual currency that uses online technology to facilitate instant payments. With the transaction being done by just a “point and click” without risking the identity of the user, syndicates and terrorists exploit the system for their illegal transactions.

In addition to the foregoing, on September 12, 2014, the first incidence of seizure of 1,2-Dimethyl-3-Phenylaziridine, or Aziridine, in the country was recorded. The chemical, with a total weight of 655.56 kilos, was seized in the dismantled shabu warehouse in San Fernando City, Pampanga.

Lastly, following the first incidence of seizure of “fly high”, which is a mixture of shabu, ecstasy and Viagra, in December 2013 in Quezon City, another six incidences were recorded in 2014 in NAIA, Manila, Makati City, Cebu City and Cavite. During the year, a total of 1,130 pieces of “fly high” in tablet form and 29.9044 grams in powder form were seized.

PDEA'S RESPONSE IN ADDRESSINGThE DRUG PROBlEM

In pursuance of the President’s marching order to step up the fight against shabu and other habit-forming substances by destroying their source, the Director General has directed all operating units of the Agency to conduct high-impact operations and arrest high-value targets and ensure that they are charged and end up in jails.

These are aligned with the Agency’s major final output to reduce and to suppress the supply of dangerous drugs in the country through conduct of anti-drug operations and other support services. For 2014, the operational targets of the Agency are raised even more notches higher; challenging the competency and capabilities of the Agency’s operating units.

Anti-drug operation conducted by joint elements of PDEA RO1 and Philippine National Police that led to the arrest of a high-value target and seizure of 653 gramsof shabu, several drug paraphernalia and one unit of M16 A1 rifle loaded with live ammunition.

Performance Targets Accomplishments

884 hVTs arrested and charged over 1,700 total number of arrested drug personalities for the year

1,050 hVTs arrested and charged over 2,161 total number of arrested drug personalities for the year

10% hIOs successfully conducted out of 380 anti-drug operations conducted for the year

15% hIOs successfully conducted out of 1,259 anti-drug operations conducted for the year

89.25% of 8,000 drug related information and reports were acted upon within one (1) hour

95% of 11,440 drug related information and reports were acted upon within one (1) hour

Accomplishing the Agency’s Performance Targets

Pursuant to the implementation of the results-based performance management framework in the whole bureaucracy, the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency did not only meet its performance targets for 2014 but even exceeded the same.

Accomplishing the Agency’s performance targets plays a significant part in the government’s goal of providing an enabling environment for economic development thus contributing to the realization of the government’s Social Contract with the Filipino people.


Operationalization of PDEA Regional forensic laboratories

Recognizing the vital role that the forensic laboratory plays in the anti-drug operations, the Agency has prioritized the establishment and operationalization of the remaining seven PDEA Regional Offices – 2, 3, 4A, 7, 9, ARMM and CAR – without laboratory. At the end of 2014, all PDEA forensic laboratories nationwide are already operational.

All regional forensic laboratories are equipped with essential tools and equipment for illegal drug detection and investigation and can analyze, detect, collect, and process samples and pieces of evidence.

Recovery of firearms by PDEA in the Course of Anti-Drug Operations

Another remarkable output in the conduct of anti-drug operations of the Agency is the recovery of various firearms used by drug personalities in their illegal activities. For 2014, the following firearms were recovered:

Conduct of Intelligence Workshops

Recognizing the importance of intelligence system in the operational success of the Agency, a total of 74 intelligence workshops were conducted nationwide on top of the various intelligence-driven meetings and activities. These workshops paved way to a more inclusive list of high value drug personalities in the country.

Establishing Airport Interagency Task Group

To deter the trafficking of illegal drugs through the airports, PDEA strengthened and expanded its airport interdiction operations from NCR to other regions in the country. The Agency has also strengthened its partnership with other law enforcement agencies and airport authorities for effective airport interdiction operations.

On August 27, 2014, the Memorandum of Understanding for the establishment of Clark International Airport – Interagency Drug Interdiction Task Group (CIA-IADITG) was successfully signed by concerned parties.

Notably, airport interdiction operations in cooperation with other law enforcement agencies and airport authorities were successfully conducted in the international airports of the country.

In January and March 2014 at Zamboanga International Airport (ZIA), interception of shabu, were conducted. On January 15, 192.67 grams of shabu worth Php1.06 million were intercepted by PDEA RO 9, PNP and Task Force Zamboanga at the ZIA. On March 6, another one kilo of shabu worth Php5.5 million was intercepted by PDEA RO 9, PNP, NBI, Bureau of Customs, Bureau of Immigration and other airport authorities at the same airport. PDEA K9 Capability and Capacity

Building

Narcotic Detection Dogs (NDDs) play a very important role in deterring trafficking of illegal drugs. As part of improving competence in the performance of the Agency’s mandate, PDEA advances its K9 capability by procuring and training drug-sniffing dogs and training the K9 handlers. The NDDs were deployed to the various ports in the country particularly in ROs NCR, 2, 3, 4A, 4B, and 10 .

In 2014, in addition to the PDEA 42 dogs, PDEA acquired 25 dogs that have undergone training. Sixteen (16) PDEA K9 handlers attended two handlers’ courses.

Amendment of Section 21 of RA 9165

To strengthen the country’s anti-drug campaign, the PDEA lobbied for the amendment of Section 21 of RA 9165 which provides the guidelines for the custody and disposition of evidence. Finally, the House of Representatives and the Senate passed the said amendment, which was signed into law by the President on July 15, 2014, through RA 10640, otherwise known as An Act to Further Strengthen the Anti-Drug Campaign of the Government, Amending for the Purpose Section 21 of Republic Act No. 9165, Otherwise Known As the “Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.” The amendments streamlined the requirements and procedures in the custody and disposition of evidence that is favorable to law enforcers without sacrificing the integrity of the handling of evidence. The Agency is crafting the implementing guidelines of the amended section.

Cooperation and Partnership through Memorandum of Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding

For the year, the Agency has signed 15 Memorandum of Agreement with various local partners comprising of local government units, academe, private sector and other government agencies. This number is an addition to the 501 existing MOAs and MOUs of the Agency.

Undersecretary Arturo G Cacdac Jr gives inspirational message during the closing ceremony of the DEO Anti-Illegal Drug Intelligence Courseon June 30, 2014 at the PDEA National Headquarters.


Hazard Pay for DEOs

In consideration with the mandate of PDEA as the lead agency in the government’s anti-drug campaign and the inherent exposure of the Drug Enforcement Officers to various hazards, such as physical attacks by drug personalities during and after the conduct of anti-drug operations and other accidents during conduct of anti-drug operations, and to toxic and carcinogenic chemicals used in manufacturing illegal drugs which can cause life-threatening illnesses, the Agency has proposed to DBM the grant of hazard pay to DEOs. In the absence of an enabling law for such benefit, the Agency has requested the Office of the President for an issuance of an Executive Order granting the said hazard pay.

Based on the coordination with DBM, the Presidential Management Staff has already forwarded to DBM the draft of the Executive Order for their final recommendation and subsequent approval and signature of the President. The DBM is recommending to grant Php2,000 hazard pay per month to the Agency’s DEOs. The Agency hoped for the approval and issuance of the EO in 2015.

Hazard Pay for Chemists

Pursuant to RA 8439, science and technology personnel who are exposed to hazards due to the nature and/or location of their work are entitled to hazard allowance. Under this premise, science and technology personnel are entitled to hazard pay of 10% to 30% of monthly basic salary depending on the level of their exposure to hazard. Based on the provision of RA 8439, all chemists, laboratory aids and technicians of PDEA who are performing actually laboratory duties were submitted to DOST for accreditation to entitlement to hazard pay. The Agency is waiting for the approval of DOST for this benefit.

Employees Welfare and Benefits

Recognizing the welfare of the personnel of the Agency, the Director General has initiated the following projects that are beneficial to the personnel:

Establishment of PDEA Provident Fund

The Provident Fund is a saving scheme consisting of contributions from both employees and the Agency (in monetary form from member-employees, in monetary and/or non-monetary form/s from the Agency) which serves as a loan facility and provider of supplementary welfare benefits to its members.

For 2014, the Agency has established its Provident Fund with initial membership of 212. During the last quarter of 2014, the PDEA Provident Fund has started to grant loans to its members at a very reasonable interest rate.

Personnel are encouraged to become members of the Agency’s Provident Fund to be able to avail of the loans and welfare benefits provided thereof.

Conduct of Debriefing Program

Recognizing that PDEA personnel are always exposed to all kinds of work-related pressures and stress, threats and dangers, the Director General has initiated Stress Debriefing and Stress Management Seminar. On April, 7-9, 2014, the first stress debriefing and management seminar for the year was conducted in Tacloban City. This aims to further promote the morale and welfare of the personnel.
