Dangerous Drug a substance affecting the central nervous system which when taken into the human body brings about physical emotional or behavioral changes in a person taking it. Taguig City is a highly urbanized city located in south-eastern portion of Metro Manila in the Philippines. From a thriving fishing community along the shores of Laguna de Bay, it is now an important residential, commercial and industrial center. The recent construction of the C-5 highway and the acquisition of the Fort Bonifacio development area have paved the way for the cityhood of the municipality. It will also be accessed by the future C-6 Road. Taguig City lies on the western shore of Laguna de Bay and is bordered by Muntinlupa City to the south, Parañaque to the southwest, Pasayto

the

west, Cainta and Taytay on

the

northeast

and Makati, Pateros, and Pasig to the north. Taguig River, a tributary of the Pasig River cuts through the northern half of the municipality and Napindan River, also a tributary of the Pasig forms the common border of Taguig with Pasig City. The city

CHAPTER 2 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter is a presentation of the review of a number of literature and studies, which had important to the study at hand.

FOREIGN LITERATURE

With a world GDP of 36$ US TRILLION in 2010, the illegal drug trade may be estimated as slightly less than %1 (0.893%) of total global commerce (DRUG LIBRARY, 2011) Consumption of illegal drugs is widespread globally. Because drugs traded on the black market can provide a secretive source of money. They have long been used by organizations such as the U.S Central Intelligence Agency to fund covert operations and proxy wars. CIA involvement in heroin trafficking began with the French Connection in Marseille and continued with anti-communist operations in Southeast Asia, In the early 1980’s the CIA used cocaine as a medium to launder money in Central America allegedly as part of the Iran-Contra affair, Scott (2010) The countries of drug production have been seen as the worst affected by prohibition, Bernaman Com (2011). Even so, countries receiving illegally imported 20

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

substances are also affected by problems stemming from drug prohibition. In many countries worldwide, the illegal drug trade is thought to be directly linked to violent crimes such as murder, this is especially true in developing countries, such as Honduras, but it is also an issue for many developed countries worldwide, The Economist (2013) Other common reasons why people take drugs are peer pressure, social acceptance, boredom, frustrations, constant tiredness, lack of parental guidance and focus in life or an escape from reality.

for the north american market, cocaine is

typically transported from colombia to mexico or central america by sea and then onwards by land to the united states and canada. cocaine is trafficked to europe mostly by sea, often in container shipments. colombia remains the main source of the cocaine found in europe, but direct shipments from peru and the plurinational state of bolivia

market

(www.DrugAbuse.Gov/2014) The illegal drug trade is a global black market, dedicated to cultivation manufacturing, distribution and sale of drugs, which are subject to drug prohibition laws. Most jurisdictions prohibit trade, except under license, of many types of drugs by drug prohibition laws. A UN report said “the global drug trade generated an estimated US$321.6 Billion in past 7 years (UN Report, 2011). The countries of drug production have been seen as the worst affected by prohibition. Even so, countries receiving the illegal-imported substance are also affected by problems stemming from

21

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

drug prohibition. For example, Ecuador has allegedly up to 300,00 refugees from Colombia who are running from guerillas, paramilitaries and drug lords, says Linda Helfrich. While some applied for asylum, other are still illegal, and the drugs that pass from Colombia through Ecuador to other part of South America create economic and social problems as cited by Helfrich (2010). A report by the UK government’s drug strategy unit that was subsequently leaked to the press, stated that due to the expensive price of highly addictive crime including 85% for shoplifting, 70-80% of burglaries and 54% of robberies. “The cost of crime committed to support illegal cocaine and heroin habits amounts to 16billion pound a year in the UK” (TDPF, 2011). In December 2009, the United Nation Drug and Crime Tsar Antonio Maria Costa Claimed that illegal drug money saved the banking industry from collapse. He claimed he had seen evidence that the proceeds of organized crime were “the only liquid investment capital” available to some banks on the brink of collapse during 2009. He said that a majority of the drug profits was absorbed into the economic system’s main problem and hence liquid capital became an important factor. Syal (2010) According to the latest research of the Drug Abuse (2014) when marijuana is smoked, thc rapidly passes from the lungs into the bloodstream, which carries the chemical to the brain and other organs throughout the body. it is absorbed more slowly when ingested in food or drink.

22

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

however it is ingested, thc acts on specific molecular targets on brain cells, called cannabinoid receptors. these receptors are ordinarily activated by chemicals similar to thc that naturally occur in the body (such as anandamide; see picture, above) and are part of a neural communication network called the endocannabinoid system. this system plays an important role in normal brain development and function.

LOCAL LITERATURE

The government enacted the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 otherwise known as the Republic Act 9165, which repealed the Antiquated Dangerous Drugs Act of 1972 of Republic act 6425. The new law provides for stiffer penalties, maximum of which is the imposition of death for illegal drug possession and pushing depending upon the act and the volume of the drug seized but, at the same time seeks to protect the country’s youth. The Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 strengthened and revitalized the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) and established the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) as the sole and dedicated entity tasked for the enforcement of the Republic Act No. 9165 The pandemic state of drug abuse and trafficking instigated the government and provoked the social sectors to confront the problems with a firm resolve to identify the components, which form the core of these social maladies. The

government laid down the basic strategies with a support of the NGO’S to prevent the people and the youth in particular, from being pushed to and affected by drug contamination, aware of political, economic, social and moral implications of the state under the spell of dangerous drugs, President Arroyo issued, Presidential Proclamation No. 23 “Angat Pinoy: Droga ay Labanan” Whose overriding mandate is to

To give flesh to the mandate and commitment, Malacanang has formulated a five-point program in its drug summit namely: information, prevention, law enforcement, changes in drug laws and more rehabilitation centers According to 2012 nationwide survey on the current nature and extent of drug abuse in the Philippines this study is a collaborative research between the ddb and the Philippine normal university. It was conducted to determine the current nature and extent of drug abuse in the country. the survey sampled a total of 10, 752 respondents ranging from ages 10 to 69 years old, identified through a proportional sampling. a total of 256 sites served as study areas. multi-stage sampling technique was employed in selecting the study sites which included 17 regions, 43 provinces, 42 capitals, 86 municipalities/cities, 137 urban and 119 rural barangays. the data gathering was conducted from end of October 2012 to march 2013.

24

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

Based on the study, it was estimated that there could be 1.3 million current drug users. The estimate was derived using the 2012 nscb projected population of age 1069 which Is 72, 735, 094. It has now become a common sight to see many young children as well as adult using illicit drugs such as shabu, marijuana, ecstasy, cough syrup, rugby, and glue. Researchers conducted by the Dangerous Drug Board (DDB) reveal that a high percentage of such major crimes, hold-ups, robberies, rapes, homicides and murders are violent acts directly linked to person under the influence of drugs. One may not be a pusher nor an addict but he is not free from the threats of drug problem as addicts might at any point in time rob, burglarize and even kill him in their search for money to sustain their drug habits according to Tomas (2009) Empowerment,

government and non-government institutions according to Pastor (2006), let us move as one towards this very noble endeavor. The claws of drug addiction never get satisfied, they spare no one, and continue to penetrate deeper in our society, cooperation among the government, private sector, and the civil society is a main prerequisite towards this aspiration. We need to take responsibilities with a sustained determination to totally eradicate the illegal drug problem that wormed its way down even to our less fortunate countrymen. Drugs are natural and synthetic chemical substance which can be used to affect the body and its processes, the mind and the nervous system the behavior and

25

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

feelings. This definition includes a wide frame of reference, for the term drug covers pharmacologically all foreign substances taken into the body – from simple pain killers like aspirin to vitamins and the more sophisticated preparations used in the treatment of severe infections, metabolic disturbances and the like as cited by Ungson(2004) Drug differs widely in the chemical composition and more important in their effects it depends upon: the abuser’s personality; the circumstances of abuse and the dose or amount of drug taken.

(importers, manufacturers, retailers and end users provided by pdea in the following areas: caloocan, manila, malabon, mandaluyong, muntinlupa, marikina, valenzuela, pasig, parañaque, taguig, cavite and rizal. a total of two hundred sixtyone (261) respondents were interviewed.ninety-three percent (93%) of the respondents are aware that toluene-based contact cement is being abused.seventythree percent (73%) of the implementers particularly pdea are very much aware of the policy on toluene-based contact cement. twenty percent (20%), however of barangay officials are not aware of the policy, thirty percent (30%) are aware on some extent and half of the barangay officials interviewed have very limited

26

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

awareness. hence, barangay officials need to be informed and be educated with the said policy. with the implementation of the policy, almost all of the respondents admitted that the quality of their finished products decreased and so is their profits/sales while the costs of their production increased. By of September 2012 The Philippine National Police seized some 4 billion worth of methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) and drug ingredients were seized while four people were arrested in a raid on a "mega" shabu lab and a facility in Pampanga province The Philippine National Police's Anti-Illegal Drugs Special Operations Task Force and Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency conducted the raids, Tracking down drug traffickers the traditional way has been though enough. Can the Philippines handle this latest threat? Even the amended Dangerous Drug Act will be toothless against the problem. The National Telecommunications Commission, whichregulates internet service providers, admitted it is helpless in stopping the illicit drug trade in the cyberspace. A law has been passed to crackdown on cybercrimes, but technology is advancing too rapidly. Before Philippine law enforcers can master the technology and the ways of cyber criminals, the criminals, the crooks have learned new tricks. FOREIGN STUDIES Over the past 20 years, much exciting addiction researcher has been conducted. Extensive Knowledge has been gathered about comorbid issues,

27

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

particularly mental health disorders, HIV, and criminal justice involvement. Health service addiction research has become increasingly sophisticated, shifting its focus from patients to consider also services, organization and financing structures, furthermore, through several long-term follow-up studies, empirical evidence convincingly demonstrate that drug dependence is not an acute and is best understood through a life course perspective with an emphasis on chronicity. This study highlights three major directions for future addiction research, developing strategies for chronic care (including longitudal intervention studies) according to Hamilton (2009) Chapagani (2009) study entitled “drug abuse in Nepal” A Rapid Assessment of rapid assessment of drug abuse in Nepal and was conducted at different states, including eight municipalities in the five development regions of the country. TO interview, in depth interviews and focus group discussions were used a snowball sampling strategy for respondents who were drug abusers and a judgmental sampling strategy for the non-drug using key informants were applied. About one fifth of the sample was recruited from the treatment centers and the rest from the community. Drug abusers in prison were interviewed, and secondary data from treatment centers and prisons analyzed. The study revealed that the sample of drug abusers has a mean age of 23.8 years and was overwhelmingly male. Most respondents lived with their families and were either unemployed or students. About 30 percent of the sample was married. A large majority of the sample had a family

member or a close relative outside the immediate family who smoked or drank alcohol and a friend who smoke, drank or used illicit drugs. Apart from tobacco and alcohol, the major drug of abuse were cannabis, codeine-containing cough syrup, nitrazepam, tablets, buprenor-phine injections and heroinm (usually smoked, rarely injected) The commonest sources of drugs were other drug-using friends, crossborder supplies from India or medicine shops. The commonest source or drug money was the family. There has been a clear trend towards the injection of buprenorphine by abusers who smoke heroin or drink codeine cough syrup. The reasons cited for switching to injections were the unavailability and rising cost of non-injectable drugs and the easy availability and relative cheapness of injectables. About half of the injecting drug users (IDU’s) Common reported sharing injecting equipment inadequately cleaned with water, over a half of IDU’s reported visiting needleexchange programmers at two of the study sites where such programmers were available. Infection y the immunodeficiency virus (HIV) appears to be low among IDU’s, although systematic surveillance is absent. Two thirds of the sample had experience sexual intercourse. The last sex partners reported by respondent were commercial sex workers, wives or girlfriends. Condom use was low with primary partners and relatively high with sex workers. Treatment facilities, mostly located in the central urban areas of the country, are meager, an overwhelming majority of drug abusers felt the need to stop abusing drugs. Cost-effective drug treatment and HIV

prevention programmers for IDU’s are urgently need in all areas of the country (Chapagain, 2009) Problem” according to www.drugabuse.gov (2014) research contrary to common belief, marijuana is addictive. estimates from research suggest that about 9 percent of users become addicted to marijuana; this number increases among those who start young (to about 17 percent, or 1 in 6) and among people who use marijuana daily (to 25-50 percent).long-term marijuana users trying to quit report withdrawal symptoms including irritability, sleeplessness, decreased appetite, anxiety, and drug craving, all of which can make it difficult to abstain. behavioral interventions, including cognitivebehavioral therapy and motivational incentives (i.e., providing vouchers for goods or services to patients who remain abstinent) have proven to be effective in treating marijuana addiction. although no medications are currently available, recent discoveries about the workings of the endocannabinoid system offer promise for the development of medications to ease withdrawal, block the intoxicating effects of marijuana, and prevent relapse. LOCAL STUDIES Problem within local or in the country according to Sandico (2010) study entitled "Concerted Efforts towards DrugAbuse is not nor the sole responsibility of the police and other law enforcement officer, the active responsive community correlates each other in terms of curbing this drug menace. he stressed that the community

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

refers to the family itself considering that the parents are the ones responsible for the moral fiber of their children, to educate them being the first teacher and to discuss the will of taking drugs. By doing this, there will be a strong foundation in terms of drug prevention. the education institution, from the primary grade, secondary level or even in college, level it is the moral responsibilities and obligation of the teacher to inculcate into the mind of the pupils/students the disadvantages of taking dangerous drugs. The evil effects of it when it is taken to the body, it produce abnormal effect emotionally and physically. The respondents in the study by Balbino (2001) in Lucena concluded that the law enforcers were not effective in the prevention and control of substance abuse in the city. The other set of respondents, the PNP officers however asserted otherwise. While Foncesca's study focused on

the Law Enforcement

effective in dealing with the drug problems in Lucen City, this study emphasized on the drug control strategies and the factors, which may draw the victims to drug abuse. Rafael (2009) recommended that drug problems are confronted with more sophistication. Its psychological impact on Philippine Society has created a chain of adverse situation, which calls for a more committed support. However, he noted that the problems received lesser priority than other current problems, in spite of public awareness about its long-term effect on the children and the youth and ultimately on society. While Rafael's study is confined to psychogical dimension of the drug problems, this study sought to determine the scope and size of the drug problems.

Molina (2010) state that it is difficult to address the problem of drug consumption. While many well to do and educated users consumed small amount of drugs, alcohol and tobacco despite the known consequences, the poor users consumed more drug, alcohol and tobacco in seeking to anesthetize themselves and escape the thought of living in desperate condition. He recommend that the best solution to the drug problems is the eradication of the social malaise, which feeds drug abuse, and the promotion of human and environmental development, which are healthful to the growth of a strong family and community with an ingrained sense of moral value. his study is different from the present study in the sense that Molina studies the factors affecting the drug consumptions of the rich and the poor uses, while the present study determines only extent of the drug problems in the study of drug dependency problems. Octavio Jr (2011) found that the use of illicit drugs was prevalent among the male victims and that unemployment was related to the problem. His findings show that drug users come from different socio economic status thought it is more prominent among those who belong to the low-income group. octavio presented that the drug problem is a multi-faced issue since there are a number of causes, which exert influence to the problem. He commended that both the government and the private sectors join forces in combating the drug menace by addressing the individual issues, which contribute to the problem. His work is in a way similar to the present study as he focused on the multiple factors contributing to the existence of the drug

problem. As cited by ocden (2008) study entitled "addressing drug problem in baguio city" the Philippine National Police has adequate anti-illegal drug programs of action. The organization has an unmistakably firm commitment to eradicate the drug problem.

SYNTHESIS OF THE REVIEWED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

The study and research on Philippine National Police anti-illegal drug campaign is a very reliable sources of empirical date in analyzing the anti-illegal drug programs in Barangay Central Signal Taguig. The conduct of the study is very timely and necessary since the trend to anti-illegal drug campaign has evolved into a very complex operation Literatures reviewed in the research revealed the problem of drug addiction appear to be difficult to prevent. The drug menace has penetrated almost all spectrum of the society despite the prevention and suppression efforts being exerted by law enforcement and other government this has resulted in the upsurge of drug-related crimes, many of which are heinous all of the major concerns of the study was considered by the present study.

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

Numerous policy efforts have been implemented to combat drug problems. That the study of Beaver, Aldred and Gover contains data vital to this study since they were able to spell-out the law enforcement personnel have been very active in the eradication of illegal drug supply which is related to the study at hand when it comes to anti-illegal drug program. Siegel identified the characteristics of those who are prone to commit delinquent acts. They include psychological and biological abnormalities and other illness, which compels a person to take illicit drugs, Mangwong on the other hand, seeks to present the pressure of “PAKIKISAMA” in including a person to take drug while Lauder survey reveals the distorted social bond which accelerates one’s drive to succumb to the lure of drugs. Meanwhile , the Dangerous Drug Board railed the prevents to do something about the problem instead of just sitting down to watch unfolding of a problem, which may eventually destroy its victims, particularly the youth. The prevention strategies, which the private sectors are expected to carry out and control strategies the police units are duty bound to execute, are effective measures conductive to enhancement of efforts to prevail in the war against drugs. Unless they are mobilized efficiently, any hope to establish drug free community may be elusive aspirations.

34

ARELLANO UNIVERSITY Plaridel Campus # 53 Gen. Kalentong St., Mandaluyong City Tel No. 532-7741

However, it can be noted that no study has been conducted on the anti-illegal drugs program of local police station in Taguig City. This is the identified gap of the studies which will be considered as the contribution of this endeavor.

CHAPTER 3 METHODS AND PROCEDURES

RESEARCH DESIGN In this study, the descriptive method of research was used. This method is considered as most appropriate for this study because “it describes events, trends, circumstances as “They exist” and observed by the researcher (steam berg) He
