Metro Manila Peace and Order Council sets 2020 roadmap By Jerome Carlo R. Paunan QUEZON CITY -- The Metro Manila Regional Peace and Order Council–NCR (RPOC-NCR) has formulated its plans until 2020 during its strategic planning workshop held in Bataan. Members of the Council and the Secretariat came together to identify priority gaps and interventions, and ensure the alignment of the efforts of both the regional and local peace and order councils in the region. The workshop also became a venue for pitching proposals for policies, programs and projects as well as relevant continuing capacity development enhancement programs for its members. Key officials from the 17 NCR local government units and national government agencies, member private organizations, and DILG-NCR City Directors were divided into four groups, based on the pillars of peace and order identified by the Council: Crime and Disorder, Anti-illegal Drugs, Preventing Violent Extremism and Insurgency, and Public Safety. RPOC-NCR Chair Quezon City Mayor Herbert Bautista stressed the importance of anchoring the thrusts of the Council to the Regional Development Council (RDC), as peace is closely connected to development. He also expressed his hopes that the next chairperson of the Council will consider the results of the workshop, and sustain the accomplishments of the Council. Under Bautista’s leadership, the RPOC-NCR has been cited as one of the best peace and order councils in the country by the President, through the National Peace and Order Council (NPOC). Among the achievements of the RPOC-NCR under the Quezon City mayor includes the holding of the first Peace and Order International Summit which brought together experts, advocates on peace and order from the different parts of the globe and local government unit functionaries to discuss practices, emerging trends and challenges on peacebuilding and security. The Council also created policies which were adopted in the national level such as Community-Based Drug Rehabilitation that was adopted through DILG MC 2018-125, Security Protocols for Establishments, and Drug Clearing of Warehouses. RPOC-NCR also interfaced with the RPOCs of Bohol and Samar to understand its best practices for the creation of policies to counter insurgency and violent extremism, which resulted to the signing of a memorandum of understanding with RPOC-8 for Council Sisterhood, a first among the RPOCs. RPOC-NCR Secretariat Head DILG-NCR Regional Director Maria Lourdes Agustin noted that the activity will bolster the Council, by having a clear vision of what the organization has achieved and setting targets. “For our Council, this activity is our time to rebuild something better – make better plans, picking our cue from the lessons that we learned in the past year. Continuing the things that we do best, as our foundation for innovations,” she said. (PIA InfoComm) PDEA conducts Oplan ‘Huli Week’ By Susan G. De Leon QUEZON CITY--The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) conducted simultaneous surprise mandatory drug test to bus drivers and conductors, and K9 sweeping in bus terminals, airports and seaports throughout the country to help ensure the safety of travelers during the Holy Week. PDEA Director General Aaron N. Aquino said the agency implements OPLAN: “HULI WEEK”, in coordination with other government agencies as part of PDEA’s holistic approach in reducing the demand for illegal drugs, promoting drug-free workplaces, harm- reduction and reformation. “We are also doing this to curb incidents of vehicular accidents caused by drugged drivers and make the roads safer, especially this Lenten Season’s travel rush,” Aquino said. On Monday (April), PDEA, together with personnel of Land Transportation Office (LTO), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), and the Philippine National Police (PNP), started the conduct of Oplan: Huli Week.

They must undergo the rehabilitation process before reclaiming their licenses,” Aquino said. Personnel of PDEA’s Preventive Education and Community Involvement Service (PECIS) were also present to perform on-site counselling, and help facilitate the rehabilitative treatment of drivers found positive for illegal drugs, in coordination with the Department of Health (DOH). “There is a prevailing practice of illegal drug use among provincial bus drivers because of the nature of their work. They use dangerous drugs to stay awake, or counter fatigue, especially those driving the long haul or overnight,” Aquino added. PDEA also conducted surprise K9 sweeping operations to detect concealed illegal drugs in various bus and van terminals, and high-risk airports and major seaports across the country.
