The Problem and Its Setting
INTRODUCTION
According to Purisima (2013), the government shall pursue an intensive and unrelenting
campaign against the trafficking and use of dangerous drug and other similar substances through
an integrated system of planning, implementation and enforcement of anti-drug abuse policies,
programs and projects. The government shall however aim to achieve a balance in the national
drug control program so that people with legitimate medical needs are not prevented from being
treated with inadequate amounts off appropriate medications, which include the use of dangerous
drugs.
Indeed, in every prosecution for illegal sale of prohibited drugs, the presentation in
evidence of the seized drug, as an integral part is most material. Thus, it is vital that the identity
of the prohibited drug be proved with moral certainty. The fact that the substance bought or
seized is the same item offered in court as exhibit must also be established with the same degree
of certitude. It is in this respect that the chain of custody requirement performs its function. It
ensures that unnecessary doubts concerning the identity of the evidence removed.
In cases involving violations of Dangerous Drug Act, credence should be given to the
narration of the incident by the prosecution witnesses especially when they are police officers
who are presumed to have to have performed their duties in a regular manner, unless there is
evidence to the contrary. Moreover, in the absence of proof of motive to falsely impute such as
2
serious crime against the appellant, the presumption of regularity in the performance of official
duty, as well as the findings of the trial court on the credibility of witnesses, shall prevail over
appellants self-serving and uncorroborated denial. This is why the researcher would propose to
make this research study on the Degree of Implementation of the Counter Measures on Drug-
Related Cases by the Police Personnel of Maria Aurora, Aurora.

Review of Related Literatures and Studies
FOREIGN LITERATURE
According to Santillises (2011), drug addiction,, also called substance dependence or
chemical dependency, is a disease that is characterized by a destructive pattern of drug abuse that
leads significant problems involving tolerance to or withdrawal from substance, as well as other
problems that use of the substance can cause for the sufferer, either socially or in terms of their
work or school performance. More than 2.6% of people suffer from drug addiction at some time
in their life.
The term dual diagnosis refers to the presence of both a drug-abuse or dependence issue
in addition to a serious mental-health problem in an individual. Substance abuse or dependence
unfortunately occurs quite commonly in people who also have severe mental illness. This is
important given that people with a serious mental illness are far more at risk of engaging in
violence, being incarcerated or contracting infection with the human immunodeficiency virus
(HIV). Individuals with dual diagnosis are also at risk of being non-compliant with treatment.
FOREIGN STUDIES
According to Paulsen (2011), psychological associations with substance abuse or
addiction include mood disorders like depression, anxiety or bipolar as well as personality
7
disorders like anti-social personality disorder. Social risk factors for drug abuse and addiction
include male gender, being between 18 and 44 years of age, Native-American heritage,
unmarried marital status, and lower socio-economic status. According to statistics by state people
residing in the West tend to be at higher risk for chemical abuse or dependency. While male men
are more at risk for developing chemical dependencies like alcoholism, women seem to be more
vulnerable to becoming addicted to alcohol at much lower amounts of alcohol consumption.
LOCAL LITERATURE
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is studying the possibility amending Republic Act No.
9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Drugs Act of 2002, following the acquittal of
two of the three members of the so-called Alabang Boys.
PDEA arrested the two as well as another Alabang boy Joseph Tecson in 2008. Brodett
was arrested in Ayala, Alabang subdivision in Muntinlupa City along with Joseph. Tecson was
arrested in a separate operation in Araneta Center in Quezon City. There were charged with
violation of R.A. 9165.
They become controversial after the DOJ dismissed the case against them due to lapses
committed by PDEA in conducting the raid. PDEA accused the DOJ prosecutors of accepting
bribery prompting the Office of the President (OP) to do its own review of the case and
eventually file a case against the Alabang Boys in court.

8
LOCAL STUDIES
DOJ Secretary Leila De Lima said that the DOJs Task Force on Anti-Drug, chained by
DOJ Secretary Francisco Baraan III, was already studying the provisions of Republic Act 9165
and determine the possible amendments.
If you will read the courts decision, it zeroed on the violated chain of custody of the
drug evidence. Our law enforcers here have difficulty following it. I think it should be relaxed a
little perhaps do away with some of te requirements like the presence of the media and two
elected public officials during the inventory immediately after the seizure. De Lima told the
reporters.
What if the seizure was made in a remote area? We have to wait for these people before
an inventory can be conducted, which is why we will propose that at least two disinterested
members be allowed to witness the inventory immediately after seizure of the illegal drugs, De
Lima said.
De Lima noted that the requirement under the law is impractical.
The chain of custody refers to the requirement under the law that should be followed
regarding the movement of the seized illegal drugs from seizure to presentation in court and then
destruction.
De Lima said that they were particularly looking at the provision on the chain of
custody, which caused the Muntinlupa City Regional Trial Court (RTC) to acquit Richard
Brodett and Jorge Joseph.

9
Under R.A. 9165, after taking the initial custody of the seized drugs, the authorities are
required to conduct an inventory in the presence of the accused, his/her counsel or representative
of the accused, member of the media, DOJ and an elected public official.
Brodett and Joseph, two of the so-called Alabang Boys, were acquitted on Friday by
Muntinlupa City RTC branch 208 Judge Juanita Guerrero due to violation of chain of custody
of the evidence committed by arresting agents of the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency
(PDEA).

Sometimes, Never and Often)
The weights were multiplied by the frequency of response on every item under the four
options. The products obtained the frequency taken and derived to the total number of
respondents to obtain each average weighted mean using the researchers formula.
Formula:

AWM=
Where:
AWM= Average Weighed Mean
F= Frequency of Response
