PSA survey team, nat'l ID implementers now excluded from ECQ By Christopher Lloyd Caliwan April 12, 2020, 8:09 pm Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, commander of the Joint Task Force Corona Virus Shield. (PNA file photo) MANILA – Members of survey teams from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) are now included in the list of the Authorized Persons Outside of Residence (APOR) in Luzon while the enhanced community quarantine (ECQ) is in effect, the Joint Task Force Corona Virus Shield (JTF CV Shield) said on Sunday. Lt. Gen. Guillermo Eleazar, commander of the (JTF CV Shield), said government workers conducting survey and data gathering relating to the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid- 19) to the country have been exempted from home quarantine in the latest update on ECQ rules being implemented by the task force. Eleazar said the same exemption was also given to the people who were tapped by the government to conduct registration and implementation of the National Identification System. “This was already coordinated with the Philippine National Police and our Chief PNP, General Archie Francisco Gamboa has already instructed local police commanders to ensure the unhindered travel of these teams and also to extend assistance to them if necessary,” Eleazar said in a statement. “The swift and safe movement of these teams are necessary to get accurate information on the ground that would be used by the national government in effectively responding to the needs of our 'kababayan' especially those who were severely affected by the enhanced community quarantine,” he added. He said the updated list of exemptions has already been forwarded to the local police commanders who are supervising the Quarantine Control Points. Likewise, in the new list, Eleazar said, are Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) personnel setting up work-from-home arrangements, and support service provider crew of the export-oriented business companies, including those inside the economic zones, while being shuttled by their respective companies. The JTF CV Shield is the enforcement arm of the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF-EID). It is composed of the Philippine National Police, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine Coast Guard and the Bureau of Fire Protection. The IATF-EID has been regularly updating the APOR based on the continuous discussions with the stakeholders. Matters relating to the movement of people and cargoes that would be agreed upon are forwarded to the JTF CV Shield for implementation. (PNA) .

Retired Police Deputy Director General Isidro S.

The retired Police General, who had spent over 17 years of his government service in Davao, considered it an honor to be hand-picked by the President to take charge of a very critical position expected to take actions on a priority concern of the Duterte Administration. “When [then] President-Elect [Duterte] informed me that I will head PDEA as its Director General, sometime during the last week of May, I felt very much honored to have been chosen to lead this agency, which will handle the top most concern of our President – that is the fight against illegal drugs,” said the newly appointed PDEA Director General, who holds a rank equivalent to a Cabinet Undersecretary level. continued on Page 2 2 1st 100 Days in Office 30 Jun - 7 Oct 2016 From Page 1 CHANGE HAS COME CHANGE OF COMMAND Two days after the Cabinet Mass Oath-taking in Malacañan Palace, the men and women of PDEA expectantly gathered at the PDEA Gymnasium on July 2, 2016, awaiting the event that would unfold a new chapter in the history of the government’s lead anti-drug agency.

In a statement marking the Philippines’s celebration of Earth Day 2020 on April 22, Secretary Roy A. Cimatu of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) said it is the perfect time to ponder the need for “long overdue” collective action. Global pandemic The country’s environment and natural resources’ chief steward said this is especially so as Covid-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus that originated from Wuhan City in Hubei, China, continues to grip many countries around the world, including the Philippines. The disease has so far infected more than 2.5 million people worldwide and has claimed the lives of more than 180,000 people. In March, Philippine President Duterte placed the entire country under a state of public health emergency and placed the entire Luzon under enhanced community quarantine (ECQ). The ECQ which was supposed to end on April 14 was extended until the end of the month. Cimatu said no one knows how long this pandemic will persist, and how many more lives will be lost.

Araja The Department of Environment and Natural Resources on Tuesday said its solid waste management initiatives are on the right track. DENR Usec. for Solid Waste Management and Local Government Units Concerns Benny Antiporda said the recent inclusion of plastic soft drink straws and plastic coffee stirrers in the list of non-environmentally acceptable products (NEAP) in the country is a big boost in the government’s solid waste management initiative. He said the development has made DENR all the more determined to pursue its solid waste management initiatives through the Tayo ang Kalikasan (TAK) campaign. “With the initial listing of these two items in the NEAP, we are all the more encouraged to uphold our mandate and advocacy on solid waste management despite the lingering pandemic in the country,” he said. Antiporda said DENR regional offices have been stepping up their TAK campaign, which primarily aims to enhance people’s awareness on Republic Act 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 with the end goal of substantially reducing the volume of plastic wastes and prevent these from polluting the environment. Local governments, he said, also support the inclusion of the two plastic items in the NEAP list.

Duterte gave carte blanche to the Philippine National Police (PNP) to kill drug pushers and dealers at will as long as they could somehow claim to have been acting in self-de- fense. Thousands of suspects died at the hand of police officers and vigilantes who understood Duterte’s rash rhetoric as an invitation to participate in a state-led, nationwide killing spree. However, killings were not uniformly spread across the Philippines, but focused on highly urban- ized regions and especially the National Capital Region (NCR) and the adjacent regions of Central Luzon and CALABARZON (regs.

Induced Forest Fires in Region 8 Published April 26, 2020, 11:06 AM by Marie Tonette Marticio
STRATEGIC BANNER COMMUNICATION UPPER PAGE 1 EDITORIAL CARTOON STORY STORY INITIATIVES PAGE LOWER SERVICE April 27, 2020 PAGE 1/ DATE TITLE : DENR enjoins public to report human- induced forest fires in Region 8 Published April 26, 2020, 11:06 AM By Marie Tonette Marticio TACLOBAN City – The Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Region 8 (DENR-8) is urging the public to report any forest fire that could have been caused by careless individuals. “The first line of defense against forest fire is to avoid starting a fire. If it cannot be avoided, make sure you watch over and control it,” Forester Allan Cebuano, Chief, Enforcement Division Chief of DENR 8 noted. It was learned that some of the most recent incidents of forest fires in Eastern Visayas were caused by farming activities such as “kaingin (slash and burn farming)”, smoking of honeycombs to gather honey, cigarette butts, and other forms of activities that involve fire. These reportedly went out of control, and caused the widespread fire in the area. Cebuano added that barangay officials must be informed immediately upon the detection of forest fires. The officials are tasked to report to the concerned disaster risk and reduction management council where a protocol is already in-place for the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), as well as other appropriate agencies to respond. Cebuano also warned that unscrupulous individuals who will cause forest fires could be criminally charged under Presidential Decree 705 otherwise known as the “Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines” which provides penalties amounting to not less than P500 to not more than P20,000, and imprisonment of not less than six months or not more than two years.

Of the Philippine Anti-Illegal Drug Campaign1
Article Till Death(s) Do Us Part?: Policy “Design Trace” of the Philippine Anti-Illegal Drug Campaign1 Clyde Ben A. Gacayan Abstract The many political forces in support for and against Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs present a key challenge in drug policy analysis. As a highly politicized issue, drug policy concerns include questions of economic development, security, human rights, and public health. How has the policy evolved in the last two-and-a-half years of implementation given these different concerns? What can policy tracing contribute in understanding the policy? The article examines the policymaking process pertinent to the Philippine anti-drug campaign through a policy tracing technique. The study employed a qualitative research design using multiple sources such as chronological media review, informant interviews with policy implementers, elites, and experts, as well as document review of legislations and official documents. The policy design trace of the Philippine anti-drug campaign reveals policy characteristics that are neglected. First, the policy has evolved into four distinct stages—and these policy iterations are largely responses to numerous implementation crises. The rebranding of policies was used to legitimize policies than improve policy values and learning. Second, changes in policy were only seen in the reorganization of police and supplementary guidelines for Oplan TokHang operations. Finally, the campaign operates within a police-centric framework despite interagency and whole-of-government approaches. 1 Philippine Journal of Public Policy: Interdisciplinary Development Perspectives (2020) These findings provide an explanation as to why the campaign has been highly punitive and will continue to be so in the next years, despite the presence of alternative drug control interventions and policy positions.
