SAMPLE WORKING TITLE: Implementation of War on Drugs in One

Municipality

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKROUND

Introduction

Drug addiction has become a massive problem not only in

the country but an issue that has been challenging

governments around the world as on how to totally eradicate

if not to at least mitigate its spread. This problem has

created panic among the officials because it is really a

test on they solve the issue and concern on drugs.

This scenario has prompted the different governments

around the world to at least devise strategies and ways to

solve the said menace. And one of these is the launching

among them the war on drugs.

In the Philippines, the war on drugs is actually a

government-led initiative has been one of the solutions

that the government has created with the notion of becoming

stricter in its implementation to totally solve the problem

that has been killing and destroying the future of the youth

and the people involved in it, be it users and


manufacturers. The initiative aims at stopping the illegal

use, distribution and trade of illegal drugs.

The Philippines has the Philippine Drug Enforcement

Agency (PDEA), as a major arm of the government, to enforce

such in eliminating the problem of the country. But despite

its successes, however, the war on drugs is not without its

challenges. One major obstacle is that the Philippines have

a large population of drug users and dealers. As a result,

the PDEA is constantly struggling to combat drug trafficking

on a scale that is manageable.

In the determination of the government to solve the

spread of illegal drugs, issues on how the campaign is being

enforced became the subject of criticisms in the society.

According to the families of the victims, violations of

human rights became rampant.

Actually, in an article published in Human Rights Watch

(2020) “Our Happy Family Is Gone.” “Impact of the War on

Drugs on Children in the Philippines” revealed that

thousands of people in the Philippines have been killed

since the installation of the former president Rodrigo

Duterte. Among those who died have been dozens of children

under age 18 who were either specifically targeted or were

inadvertently shot during anti-drug raids, what authorities

have called “collateral damage.” Philippine children’s


rights nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) put the total

number of child fatalities at 101 from July 2016 through

December 2018, both targeted and killed as bystanders. More

deaths of children have been reported in the media in 2019

and 2020.

More broadly, official figures from the Philippine

National Police and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency

put the number of “drug war” casualties at 5,601 deaths as

of January 31, 2020. In virtually every case, police claimed

they killed a drug seller or user during a raid after the

suspect resisted arrest and fought back. The national

Commission on Human Rights and domestic human rights groups

believe many thousands more – estimated at more than 27,000

– have been killed by the police, agents of the police, or

unidentified assailants.

The issue on the war on drugs has been considered a

menace on the part of the many in the country; hence, with

the above stated discussions on it, the researchers will

conceptualize the study the level of implementation of war

on drugs program in selected barangays of Lasam, Cagayan for

the Calendar Year 2022 in order to know how the war on drugs

is being implemented in the said barangays.
