STRENGTHENING THE SUPPORT MECHANISM FOR THE PHILIPPINE DRUG ENFORCEMENT
AGENCY
WHEREAS,
by virtue of the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002 (Republic
Act [R.A.] No. 9165), the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) was
created for
the efficient and effective law enforcement of all the provisions on
dangerous drugs and/or precursors and essential chemicals as provided
in R.A. No. 9165;
WHEREAS, pursuant to R.A. No. 9165, the Dangerous Drugs Board (DDB) is
the policy-making and strategy-formulating body in the planning and
formulation of policies and programs on drug prevention and control;
WHEREAS, R.A. No. 9165 provides for the abolition of the drug
enforcement units of the Philippine National Police (PNP), the National
Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Bureau of Customs (BOC);
WHEREAS, the same Act also provides that the personnel of the abolished
units shall continue to perform their task as detail service with the
PDEA until such time that the PDEA is fully operational and is able to
recruit a sufficient number of new personnel to do the task themselves;
WHEREAS, the PDEA, as the lead agency tasked to enforce R.A. No. 9165,
is still in its transition period and still has to develop its
institutional capabilities to be able to accomplish its mandated task;
WHEREAS, other agencies of the Government have trained drug enforcement
personnel who can help PDEA fulfill its task;
WHEREAS, there is an urgent need to pursue a forceful, intensive and
unrelenting campaign against drug trafficking and the use of illegal
drugs whether syndicated or street-level.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GLORIA MACAPAGAL-ARROYO, President of the Republic
of the Philippines, by virtue of the powers vested in me by law, do
hereby order and/or authorize:
