OPINION

BIKOL REPORTER

EDITORIAL
Blessed are the
Peacemakers
The accelerated pace with which
the Philippine government and the
National Democratic Front finished
their peace talk negotiations in Norway
over the weekend show the sincerity
and desire of both sides for peace.
As Presidential Adviser on the
Peace Process Jesus Dureza puts
it: We will go home with a promise
of a just and lasting peace and our
soldiers and the combatants for the
NDF finally coming to terms that the
war must end.
And rightly so.
The photographs of the historic
talks show that the NDF leaders
themselves are already ageing, a
visual underscoring of the almost
half-a-century Communist insurgency
in the country which has claimed
hundreds of lives in those number of
years.
Clad in the countrys national dress
for men, the barong, Jose Maria Sison
and Luis Jalandoni were far from the
picture of young idealists we had
known them in the Seventies, but
they were surely symbols of Filipino
idealism (if not romanticism) for
better lives for the majority of the poor
Filipinos.
And so with the Philippine panel led
by Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III
who expressed the optimism of both
parties.
We expect a final peace agreement
after one year so we can devote five
more years of President Rodrigo
Dutertes term in implementing the
reforms agreed upon by both parties,
he said.
And so now, we can laud these
peacemakers who have decided to
beat their swords into plowshares and
give peace a chance in our country.

Government Economic Hopes

(Atty. APA chairs Acyatan & Co.,

ASEAN Federation of CPAs, PICPA past

Lifetime Achievement Awardee).
FASTER GROWTH? According to Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez the
Philippine economy could grow faster than
the official target for this year and would
likely sustain that level under the current
administration. He pointed out that our
economy is expected to grow between
6.5 to 7.5% this year. This rate of growth
is likely to continue into the medium term,
he added. The declaration was made during the business conference in Davao City
over the weekend
This forecast is higher than the official 6
to 7% growth target this year, but it matches the 2017 goals. Socioeconomic Planning Secretary Ernesto Pernia earlier said
the Duterte government would like to be
conservative. From 2018 to 2022, GDP
is targeted between 7 and 8%. Secondquarter GDP figures will be reported this
week. It was reiterated that focus would
be given to the countryside, particularly
Mindanao, with the dispersal there of
economic activities.
BOI INVESTMENTS: The Board of Investments is doubling its target investment
approvals for the rest of 2016, signaling a
more aggressive outlook among local investors on the countrys investment landscape compared to their foreign counterparts. Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez said
BOI is hiking its growth target for approved
investment pledges this year to around
10% compared with the previous expectation of just 5%. In 2015 - approved investment pledges by the agency improved 3%

to P366.74B.
BOIs upward revision of its growth
target came a week after PEZA decided
to slash by half its growth target for 2016
DOWN TO 3%. PEZA was worried that
foreign investors would hold off some of
their plans for the country this year in the
wake of Britains decision to leave the European Union. Foreign sources accounted for the bulk of PEZA investments while
BOI approved investments are mostly
from local firms availing of privileges and
perks.
MARCOS BURIAL: We agree with the
legal support and purpose of the Duterte
decision to allow the burial of former president Ferdinand E. Marcos at the Libingan
ng mga Bayani. He was recognized as
a soldier who fought with the USAFFE
(highlighted by his inclusion in the infamous death march). History will tell us that
he was once president of our Republic.
He may not be the bravest soldier and
neither the most honest president we ever
had and so the legal logics for Digongs

decision are there!

There is a revered prayer saying
Lord look not at our faults and sins
but rather give us credit for our faith in
your magnificence and magnanimity.
The millions of vice-presidential votes
garnered by Marcos son are perhaps
sending to us the message that we
should now look and work forward. The
Robredo camp that won (with a narrow
margin) the recent elections, there is
ample space for humility in their victory.
DRUG WAR: The first chronicled
sin of the Marcos government in 1964
(?) is the death by musketry of then Chinese Drug Lord Lim Seng. They said
that that was blood in Marcos hands.
History tells us though, that after the incident, the proliferation of the drug menace was nipped in the bud. The event
introduced the iron hand of the Marcos
era that brought up discipline among
our people. Progress came thereafter
until politics destroyed the gains of
martial law.
Filipinos are indeed whiners! Its
hard to satisfy our citizens desires - including economic gains of our country.
The clamor for peace and security is
so overwhelming that majority of our
people silently approve of the more
than 1,000 deaths of drug pushers and
users. In due time, as what is now surfacing in social media the blood in
the hands of Pres. Rody and PNP chief
Bato and the rest of the new heirarchy,
will be loudly harped on by the human
rights advocates.
PRAYER: Let us ask God to enlarge
our views, our hearts. Let us adjust
them to His awesome plans!

Advertising of Federalization
While we are studying the change
of our Constitution to a federal system,
let us also study what happened to
third world countries with the federal
system. The following is the column of
Hermenegildo C. Cruz in the Philippine
Daily Inquirer dated July 19, 2016. He
served as Ambassador to the United
States, Canada, Soviet Union and Chile>
Following President Dutertes promise
during the election campaign, Congress
has tabled a proposal to establish a federal
system of government. Federalization has
been depicted by its proponents as the
panacea for our national problems.
Those proposing federalization engage
in cherry-picking, invariably citing First
World countries under the federal system
to emphasize the blessings of this type of
government. Usually cited in this regard
are the United States and Canada; ignored
are Third World countries under the federal
system, like Mexico, Nigeria, Argentina,
Brazil, India, etc., which have serious
problems of governance, not to mention
federations which recently failed, like the
Soviet Union and Yugoslavia. The worse
part is that the two countries cherry-picked
as model federal systems, the United States
and Canada, are rotten cherries. These two
countries are actually deeply flawed federal
systems.
The present federal system of the
United States survived only after a bloody
civil war in 1861-1865. For a period of 85
years, from their independence in 1776 to
1861, the Americans failed to make their
federal system work by peaceful means.
The American civil war was fought on the
larger issue of state rightsthe right of a
state to secede from the Union, and not on
slavery as is commonly believed.
Canada came into existence under the
British North America Act in 1867, just after
the US civil war. The law, having in mind
the US civil war, allocated the powers of
government with the enumerated powers
granted to the provinces, and left the
residual powers to Ottawa. This reversed
the provision of the US Constitution. In the
United States, the enumerated powers are
given to the federal government, while the
residual powers are given to the states.
Theoretically, Canada should have a strong
federal government while the United States
should have a weak central government.

FROM
MY
WINDOW
NENITA FUENTEBELLA-PEONES
Things have not worked as planned
for both countries. In America, the federal
government is all-powerful vis--vis the
states of the union, while in Canada, the
reverse is the case. Whenever Ontario and
Quebec get together on an issue, that often
becomes the national policy of Canada.
The reason for this is these two provinces
hold more than 50 percent of the population
and account for about the same percentage
of the GDP of Canada.
Thus, the goals of a federal constitution,
as written, could have a different outcome
upon implementation.
Another oversell by the proponents
of federalization is that it will hasten the
development of the Moro areas and, in
this manner, settle the Moro problem. The
example of Canada belies this optimistic
projection. Canada was a developing
country when it adopted the North America
Act in 1867. Since then, it has become a
wealthy First World country. Affluence did
not solve the Quebec problem; the vote to
secede from Canada lost by just 1 percent
of the votes cast in 1995. (See BBL
oversimplified the Mindanao problem,
Opinion, 5/26/15.) The next vote on the
same issue may have a different outcome.
To put things in perspective, the
Philippines is beset with many problems.
A shift to a federal form of government will
by itself generate new problems. As noted,
the main problem in a federal union is the
allocation of powers between the national
government and the states. In addition,
federalization will not be an instant cure
for our national problems. The Canadians,
since 1867 up to now, or a period of 149
years, have been trying to make their
system work. The United States, after 85

years, fought a civil war to settle the

federal question. The Soviet Union,
which was established in 1917, collapsed
after 74 years, in 1991.
The proponents make it appear that
federalization will be an instant success,
understating the fact that it could take
years before a federal system works,
if at all.
The probability of failure of a federal
system is, therefore, high, and when it
fails, like Humpty Dumpty you can no
longer revert back to a unitary system.
One reason is this: The cost of preserving
a nation is prohibitive. Out of 33 million,
around 630,000 Americans, Union and
Confederate, died in their civil war, or
1.9 percent of the population. Recent
conflicts to preserve a federal union,
like the Nigeria-Biafra civil war and the
Yugoslavian breakup, have also been
costly in human lives. If our own federal
experiment fails, and we fight a civil war
on the same scale to preserve our nation,
there will be 2 million casualties out of our
present population of 106 million.
C o n s e q u e n t l y, i f w e a d o p t
federalization, we should have a Plan
B: What do we do if it fails? Do we fight
a civil war to preserve our country? Or
do we come to our senses and accept
that our country will become separate
states? A breakup of our country will be a
bloody affair. Our Muslim brothers will be
in the cauldron. When Muslims fight each
other, it becomes an international affair,
as the opposing sides bring in jihadists
from abroad. The events happening now
in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Afghanistan will
be replicated in our country.
Hopefully, when Filipinos vote
in a plebiscite to decide the issue
of federalization, they will incisively
examine the issue. The proponents of
federalization are engaged in deceptive
advertisement in the face of evidence to
the contrary. The future of the Philippines
as one nation undivided could be
compromised if federalization fails.

Too bad, they did not get

the Vans plate number
My grandson and his three friends were in Naga last August
15 and went home to Iriga taking a van at around 7:30 in the
evening at the van terminal near St. Joseph School. It could
have been the last trip for Iriga and with two others who were
also bound for Iriga but were not their companions they were
charged P100. Each, The usual fare to Iriga is Php 59.00 but
considering that they were only six passengers they gave in to
the Php100. fare. So, the van left for Iriga at past 8:00 pm but
somewhere near San Jose, Pili, the driver told them they were
being taken back to Naga because traffic was heavy. That was
what happened. They were dropped down at SM which by this
time was already deserted. Very young that they were, they
could not complain since the van driver just let them down and
gave back their P100. So, how could they get back home.
They are not very familiar with Naga. How could they go home
to Iriga and their parents were expecting them to go home. My
grandsons Mom and I were expecting them to be home since
he called us up and said they were in the van for Iriga already.
It was almost 10 pm already when my grandson called me up to
ask if his Mom could fetch them in Naga because they did not
know where to spend the night. I told my grandson to wait for his
Mom who was getting ready to fetch them in his Lolas private
car. I instructed them to wait at the bus terminal where there are
people even in late evenings. At least, they were secured there.
it was almost 12:00 midnight when they reach Iriga. I asked them
if they got the vans plate number because I wanted to complain
but unfortunately, they did not. Just teenagers, they do not know
much about things like this.
I called up LTFRB and I was entertained very well. I could
furnish the plate number and a case can be filed against the
driver and the van operator. But there was no way of tracing
from Nagas terminal since the trip was not logged any more.
But at least, I am making it known that some drivers are very
irresponsible. It is their obligation to take their passengers to
their destination since they were charged the right fare. In this
case, it was even more.
What could have happened to the four teenagers if they were
not fetched by my grandsons Mom in Naga? The trip takes an
hour. These kids are not familiar with Naga. They only know
that if they take a van for Iriga, they would be taken to Iriga safe.
I wish they could have noted the vans plate number and
the erring driver could have been given the due penalty for not
taking the kids to Iriga and charging them Php100. each. He took
the kids innocence and did not do his obligation of bringing his
passengers to their destination. God, have mercy on his soul. I
hope he does not get intro trouble.

Turning Learning to Something

By ASTER M. LAGDAAN - Teacher III
San Agustin Elementary School, Iriga City
Nobody is perfect, but we can always try. Training is often
the key to achieve this. That is why in the k-12 program of
DepEd, the approach is rigorous and spiral, everything is prepared from the very beginning and along every step of the way.
However, students are not all the same, some are not at par
with each other hence learning varies from one student to another.
Despite the teachers arduous efforts, some student may
not be able to achieve satisfactory academic performances
and may experience difficulty in some areas of learning or subject matter. The k12 program also has a protocol for this, students who fail to meet the standard grade must enter remedial
classes. They must pass the assessment and only then they
will be allowed to enter the next stage or grade level.
So if the student is having difficulty with a subject how
should they be taught is a very important question. There are
many factors why student fail or incur low grades in certain areas, and the teacher must consider all of those factors. Since it
is expected that that student might have those factors and he
or she has more than one students, the teachers approach is
very crucial in helping the students to cope from the difficulty or
the academic challenge.
So how does one teach remedial classes? First one must
know the students strength, weaknesses and potentials, the
teacher must know where they are in terms of prior knowledge.
This gives the teacher the ability to approximate an approach
depending on the aptitude of the students. There is no specific formula in teaching remedial classes, and there are no
generic answers, but there are generic problems faced and
experienced by students. The teacher must be able to identify
these first. Identify the areas where they are having difficulty
and know why. And from there the teacher must craft the approaches.
The teacher factor is crucial so that means the teacher must
present an atmosphere that is less threatening to the students.
The less stress they are, the better they are to learn. However,
discipline must still be observed, so the teacher must be clear
consistent with the rules inside the class.

21 more e-trikes ply Naga roads

By ARMIE B. GUNAY
NAGA CITY Additional 21 units of electric
tricycles (e-trike) will soon
be joining the 15 old units
that are plying city streets.
The city has approved the
franchise of 100 e-trike units,
with 36 allotted for the ToJo
Motors. Sixty-four franchises
are still available, which, according to City Councilor Julian Lavadia Jr.will soon be
dispatched to the city pending completion of processes
and requirements being asked
by the city government.

NO POLLUTION

Lavadia said tthe new

units will not complicate
transportation issues because
their number are just enough
to make up for the non-operating ones from among the
1,500 trimobile units operating with franchises around
the city. He said some old
units failed to renew their
franchises which make them
open for new ones.
As per Ordinance No.
93-049 or the Transport and
Traffic Code of Naga City,
all motorized tricycles operating in the city as public
utility must possess a valid

franchise which is renewable

every three years.
The city government is
supportive of the electronic
vehicles. These vehicles
which are battery dependent
are kind to the environment
unlike the traditional motorized ones that use gasoline
which emits hazardous gas
and pollutes the air.
Ralph Legazpi, the chairman of ToJo Motors, said battery rental is way cheaper than
gasoline for fuel. His company also allows drivers to own
the unit after three and a half
years of rental use. -CEPPIO

Rev. Fr. Felix Abao blesses the second batch of 21 e-Trike units that will ply the Naga streets. The
blessings rites were witnessed by Naga Mayor John Bongat, the members of the Sanngguniang

Word Lore

By ASTER M. LAGDAAN - Teacher III

San Agustin Elementary School
Iriga City
In communication, how we say things always matter.
There are many factors that could influence this, but in many
instances, it always boils down to the range of our vocabulary.
Our ability to express ourselves, to explain ourselves and to
learn new things is dependent on the words that we know or
think we know. The latter being very dangerous since it could
lead to miscommunication.
Teaching student or giving student new words to learn is
not that difficult since children are like sponge, they absorb
information very well when it comes to learning jargons and
terminologies. Children learn much through their experience
of spoken and written words they encounter every day. They
usually base it from the context on how the word was used in a
sentence or phrase. However, once again it is dangerous since
they simply get the meaning through context clues, and may not
get the real meaning of the word, also the issue with connotation
and denotation changing the meaning of the word.
There must be accuracy on the meaning of the words, their
exact definitions, and how they are used. This is where formal
education comes in, a more formal and structured learning
experiences to guide the acquisition of words more precisely.
However, a problem pose for a child in learning vocabulary is
when the child is disinterested in reading, hence affecting the
opportunity for him to encounter new words. Good thing is that
we have varied approach to vocabulary instruction. The first one
is aforesaid above, which is language experience, the second is
encouragement of wide reading, then explicit teaching of words,
and the last is the promotion of natural interest towards words.
These approaches are strengthened through technology. We
can utilize technology to facilitate the acquisition of new words.
One is using TV programs that specifically teaches words. Like
Sesame street, Wilbur, Blue Room and Wordworld. It is a subtle
approach to learn since learning is pass through entertainment.
Another is using online or offline translation devices. There
are a variety of language translation devices available for
computer and tablet use. There are many other online tools
that allow you to input English language text and automatically
translate it to a variety of other languages. These also allow the
child to type in foreign words for instant translation to English.
Google Translate is a popular choice that once again allows you
to input language for instant translation.
Using PowerPoint to apply varied ways on how children
effectively learn language such as understanding a word by
writing it, reading and developing a definition, listening to
it, viewing graphic displays, creating captions for pictures,
completing word maps etc by using simple template than can be
used by individual students or can be built up as part of group
activities. This example requires just the word, a meaning which
students write or even look up in a dictionary, and images to
illustrate the word meaning.
The utilization of graphic organizers and visual displays has
demonstrated effectivity in expanding vocabulary as well as
comprehension, because they help to show the relationship
between words and concepts. An example of this strategy is
the creative use of 'Word Clouds'. An example is by using the
free application Wordle, you are able to create word arrays
that display the frequency of words in any text. This can then be
used to enhance discussion of the text as students speculate
what the word cloud might tell you about key themes, dominant
ideas, the relationship between ideas, the central purpose of the
text, the meaning of the text and so on.

REHAB PLAN FOR DRUG . . .

after, another brief intervention
would be administered. But if
the patient relapsed to drug use
for the third time, a sixteen (16)
weeks outpatient care would be
required.
Moderate drug users are
those would need 16 weeks of
outpatient care (OPC) for rehabilitation and treatment. If drug
use still persists after the treat-

ment, an additional 16-week

OPC would be administered. If
the patient returns to drug use
for the third time, rehabilitation
in a residential treatment facility would be prescribed.
Severe drug users are those
with heavy drug dependency
and would require 10 to 12
months of rehabilitation in a
residential treatment facility.

A former Representative of

The airport ramp and taxiways that measure 475 meters in

Hoshikura adds, We have

showroom will help fuel the
growth of Suzuki Philippines as
it makes owning a Suzuki more

General Santos City.
Prior to the inauguration
of the satellite showroom,
Suzuki Philippines opened

If a drug user, on the other

hand, responds positively to the
treatment, they will be given a
certificate of completion of
their treatment program. This
will enable them to apply for
the Community Diversion Program, an educational training
program by partner agencies
like DepEd and TESDA so that
former drug users may learn
skills to re-build their lives.
However, to ensure that they
do not revert back to drug use,

the PNP has tasked the Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse Councils (BADAC) to continuously
monitor the former drug users
of their community.
Our government has laid
out extensive plans to help our
countrymen who has fallen
victim to illegal drugs. We are
more than happy to help them

design.
He said the feasibility study
was crafted by technical personnel contracted by the DOTC
in 2009.
I would say that we are
not building a new airport instead we are just relocating the
Legazpi airport facility to Daraga, Pavia said.
BIA which is also known as
the South Luzon International
Airport or SLIA is located in
Barangay Alobo in Daraga
town, some 10 kilometers away
from this city.
He said once the project is
completed, there would be no
further room for airplane carriers to maneuver during arrival
and departure due to the limited
area at the ramp and taxiways.
Pavia said the design did not
even contain airplane tube facilities which is a requirement
to meet international airport
standards.
He added the said facility
should accommodate six to 12
flights a day but the existing design could not hold the potential
volume of flight arrivals and de-

partures.
Bichara said he had talked
about this problem with former
Governor Joey Salceda, now
Albay 2nd District Representative.
Salceda in a text message,
said he would not yet comment
on this as he has yet to verify
with NEDA.
BIA will occupy a 148-hectare area with a 2,100-meter
runway strip to be equipped
with night landing capability
and take-off facilities, control
tower, passenger and cargo terminal, car park, fire station, and
other modern facilities.
Bichara said the BIA project
should have been completed
this year had the original timetable been followed. Despite
the availability of funds, however, there were lapses in the
bidding process for the Public
Private Partnership project, he
added.
Since 2009 up to 2012, the
government has been pouring
some PHP 1.6 billion for the
construction of the airport facility. -PNA

BICOL POSTS 2ND HIGHEST . . .
We have almost a 100 percent employment rate and it is
even more notable that we have
the second lowest unemployment rate in the entire country,
said Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE) Bicol
OIC-Regional Director Atty.
Ma. Karina Perida-Trayvilla.
Cagayan Valley has the highest employment rate at 96.9 percent and lowest unemployment
rate at 3.1 percent.
The survey shows that out of
the total population in the region,
some 3.7 million Bicolanos aged
15 years old and above are part

of the labor force comprising the

67 percent labor force participation rate of the region.
This figure has gone up by
at least two notches from 65.3
percent from last years LFPR,
Trayvilla said.
Trayvilla attributed these
developments not only to their
department but also to the active
implementation of the programs
and services of all the government offices and LGUs in the
entire region.

TURNING LEARNING . . .
Utilization of examples which are more close to practical use
in the real world are easy to relate with and understand since
learners can see the pragmatic sense of what they are learning. Especially in math, which is often frown upon by many students; they complain that they do not see the relevance of the
concept in the real world or its application. So best way to show
them is to use examples to that they can easily relate with.
Use of team approach can also help by allowing students
to collaborate therefore giving them the opportunity to learn
among themselves. Students easily relates with one another
that is why making them collaborate gives them chance to
learn from other classmates who ca relate with his or her classmate very well.
Always assess after discussion to evaluate students progress. This is always one of the best ways to see if students
learn or not. And remember, if students dont learn the way you
teach, teach them the way they learn.

We will also engage them in
various community services
which include cacao tree planting and clean-up drive in the
creeks of Boncao, among others. We will help them come
to terms with themselves and
be productive members of the
community again, Bongalonta
said in an interview.
MGen. Manolito P. Orense,
commanding general of the 9th
ID Division, lauded the initiative of LGU Pili to help change
the lives of these drug preys.
He stressed the ill-effects
of illegal drugs and the challenge that the dependents have
to pass to ensure the safety of
their families, especially of
their kids.
Drugs is a national problem
yet we should not be defeated
by it. This problem can be resolved with our strong faith in
God. All Filipinos deserved to
live a fruitful and decent life,
away from drugs.
Other partner agencies that
rendered their assistance include the Department of Education (DepEd) through Dr.Sonny

A. Taogan who encouraged Out

Bongalonta capped his intent by saying that LGU Pili
will never wane in its promise
to bring them back to a new
chapter of their lives by continually assisting them in activities that will restore their selfworth. We have the full backing
of the government and its attached agencies and we hope to
continue with this fight and win
our war against drugs.

a manifold of concerns and

development plans earlier presented by the mayors or their
representatives in the same assembly.
MNDC Project Officer Adolfo Badiola Jr. said that his
office will look for possible
means that the concerns of
each municipality (i.e. effective
solid waste management, potable water system, construction
of more access roads) be addressed thru their inter-alliance
initiatives.
We are expecting that the
needed official actions from
each member-LGU like executive orders of the local chief
executive, resolutions or ordinances of the Sangguniang
Bayan members will be expeditiously delivered so that we can
be able to effectively undertake
the necessary actions leading
to realization of each approved
priority project, Badiola said.
Meanwhile, the 16 LGUs
comprising the Council are expecting a new member from the
Partido area (Camarines Surs
4th district). This, after Mayor

Sandy Sta. Rosa Ondis of the

municipality of Siruma formally manifested his intention
to join the council.
Ondis said one of the major
factors why he opted to enlist
his town as MNDC member
is the various assistance being
extended by the council to its
member-LGUs like in the formulation of a Municipal Tourism Development Plan that
could help his municipality
generate livelihood and create
employment opportunities.
Siruma is an Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA)-dependent 4th class coastal municipality which has potentials as a
tourist destination in the northern part of the province of Camarines Sur.
Hopefully, our linkages
with other LGUs would allow
us also to increase the number
of our farm to market roads,
he said. Ondis also expects
that thru the MNDC he will be
able to learn about some best
practices from other LGUs like
Naga and adopt them in his
municipality.

Rehab plan for drug

users crafted

By JULIUS B. EMBILE
LEGAZPI CITY With
the continued increase in the
number of surrendering illegal drugs personalities in the
Bicol region, the Department
of Health of Bicol (DOH-5)
has presented a comprehensive action plan in providing
rehabilitation and treatment
to surrendering drug dependents.
As of August 22, the number
of surrendering drug users and
traders in the Bicol region has
reached a staggering 41,854,
as a result of the governments
anti-drug drive Operation
Double Barrel.
Out of these surrendering
personalities, 1,171 are female
and 703 are children. What
alarms the authorities the most
is that 28 of these children are
elementary school aged, which
stresses the need for an intensified anti-illegal drugs campaign
and more lucid intervention for
drug dependants.
We (PNP) sees drugs as the
prime cause of the crimes in
our streets, said PSI Malu Calubaquib, spokesperson of the

Philippine National Police in

Bicol (PNP-RO5). So, for the
treatment and rehabilitation of
the drug users who surrendered,
PNP and DOH has now formulated an action plan to respond
to this need, she added.
In a press conference last
August 22, DOH-5 presented
their action plan for surrendering drug users (SDUs) in the
Bicol region, wherein they will
be screened and categorized according to the severity of their
addiction, be given the corresponding treatment, and monitored to ensure they will not fall
into relapse.
According to the matrix
provided by DOH, the PNP
will first separate the drug users from the drug pushers and
then classify their drug usage
into: low risk drug use, mild
drug use, moderate drug use,
and severe drug use.
Low risk drug users are
those who had less than occasional drug use and would only
require a brief intervention.
Mild drug users, however,
would require a four-week intervention. If drug use recurs
